What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
ZPA is very much helpful with the replacement of old VPN's . Instead of providing access to the whole network, it provides granular access to only particular application by minimizing the attack.

Zero Trust That Works—Smooth Once Set Up, But Pricey and Tricky to Configure
What do you like best about the product?
The whole zero trust thing sounds buzzwordy but it actually makes sense once you're using it. People can access what they need without being on the network, and I'm not constantly getting tickets about connection issues anymore.
What do you dislike about the product?
Setup was a bit of a pain though, not gonna lie. Took us a minute to figure out all the policies and get everything configured right. And it's definitely not cheap - had to make a solid business case to get budget approval. But once it was running? Pretty smooth sailing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
So basically it solved the whole VPN mess for me. Like, I used to have to connect to that clunky VPN every morning, it would be super slow, and it'd randomly disconnect during meetings or when I was in the middle of something important. So annoying.
With ZPA, I don't even think about it anymore. I just open my laptop and everything I need for work is just... there. I can access all our internal apps whether I'm at home, at a coffee shop, or traveling - it all just works the same.
Way faster too. Like noticeably faster loading times compared to the old VPN.

Seamless Security Integration with Zscaler and Okta for Ultimate Data Protection
What do you like best about the product?
I love that Zscaler integrates with Beyond Identity and Okta to be able to use our finger-print on MacBooks to sign into everything. As an HR company hosting thousands of pieces of sensitive personal data, it is a hugely necessary component to keeping our work and data private. Zscaler seems to "go down" a lot, or log itself out a lot, but it is very intuitive and easy to reset or re-authenticate.
What do you dislike about the product?
It doesn't provide any kind of notification when something goes wrong. Zscaler forces re-sign-in multiple times a day, which is frustrating because it can take several minutes to get everything refreshed, but when something does stop working, it's almost always because Zscaler is down, and now I know to check that first, but it doesn't actually notify you that it's been disconnected unless you open the program.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We rely on Zscaler to secure our programs and hardware that are not protected by Okta. This is especially important for our laptops, a program called Dock, and several other software applications that do not integrate with Okta.
Effortless Security and Speed with Zscaler
What do you like best about the product?
What I like most about Zscaler is how easy it is to use while still keeping everything super secure. It’s fast, cloud-based, and I don’t have to deal with any hardware or VPN hassles. The dashboard gives great visibility and control, and it just works smoothly.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I like least about Zscaler is that it can be a bit tricky to troubleshoot when something goes wrong. The logs and error messages aren’t always clear, and changes can take a while to propagate. It can also feel restrictive at times — great for security, but sometimes gets in the way of testing or quick fixes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Zscaler Private Access is solving the problem of secure remote access without relying on traditional VPNs. It gives users access to internal apps safely, without exposing the network itself. For me, that means faster, more reliable connections, less time dealing with VPN issues, and stronger security overall. It’s also easier to manage who can access what, which saves time and reduces risk.

VPNs are often difficult to set up and confusing for most users. Troubleshooting connectivity issues while a user is out of office is nigh impossible. Scalar eliminates those headaches.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are start up and configuration issues, but no different than any other application. Teaching users first how to use it and more importantly why and when to use it in the greater challenge
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Remote access to secure applications is the biggest use. Not having to create and maintain a vpn frees up engineers for other tasks, such as ai implementation
