    Revolutionized Secure Internet Access with Cloud Scalability

    Reviewed on Jul 15, 2026
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    I really like Zscaler Internet Access's cloud-native scalability, which means we don't need to worry about capacity planning or hardware refresh cycles; everything scales up on Zscaler's end. The global presence of data centers ensures low-latency access no matter where our users connect from. Having a unified console is fantastic because it centralizes policy management across web, cloud app, and threat protection, eliminating the need to manage multiple tools. The strong threat intelligence is great; the real-time updates in the cloud mean a threat detected for one customer can help protect others. I appreciate the seamless user experience, where security operates quietly in the background without noticeable slowdowns, which is a big improvement over clunky VPN clients. Lastly, the granular policy control is incredibly useful, allowing different rules for different user groups rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    I find troubleshooting complex because when issues arise, it's tough to determine if it's the Zscaler Internet Access policy, SSL inspection, or the app itself causing the problem. I experience SSL inspection breakage with apps that use certificate pinning, which requires ongoing manual bypass rule maintenance. The learning curve for admins is steep because the policy engine's flexibility can lead to rule conflicts, and tuning takes time. I also feel that the cost at scale can be high due to the licensing structure, which isn't always clearly presented upfront. The documentation and support sometimes don't keep up with new features, leading to slow ticket resolution for unusual issues. Lastly, I find the onboarding process can be more challenging than anticipated, particularly with PAC file and agent deployment in large fleets.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    I use Zscaler Internet Access to secure internet traffic with zero-trust policies, cut latency, ensure consistent policy enforcement, reduce hardware dependency, and gain visibility into unsanctioned app usage.

    Cloud-Native Security and Seamless, Scalable Web Access Without VPNs

    Reviewed on Jul 12, 2026
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    Zscaler Internet Access's cloud-native security and safe web access without the need for conventional VPNs are what I find most appealing. It maintains a flawless user experience while offering reliable defense against viruses, online dangers, and illegal access. Users can be easily secured no matter where they are because to the scalability and centralized policy management.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    The complexity of policy configuration and troubleshooting, particularly in big contexts, is a disadvantage of Zscaler Internet Access. Traffic inspection can occasionally cause a small amount of latency, and a thorough log examination may be necessary to identify access problems. Additionally, the reporting interface could be easier to use for routine administrative tasks.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    By offering cloud-based secure online gateway, threat protection, and zero trust access, Zscaler Internet Access addresses the problem of protecting customers' internet access regardless of their location. It helps me by providing safe access to the internet and business apps, lowering the possibility of cyberattacks, removing the need for conventional VPNs in many situations, and guaranteeing a reliable, secure experience whether I'm working remotely or from the office.
