When updating IOS the application faces some problems and requires some troubleshooting steps to be taken in order to fix and that require second help.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For my work as Fedex ipad support I provide support to pilots ipads and this requires being in the same network with them. And Zscaler provides ease of access to provide this support.
Secure Access without Speed Compromises
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Zscaler Private Access does not reduce the connection speed; my internet remains just as fast. Also, it is very easy to connect to Zscaler and, so far, I haven't had any problems, unlike other tools I've used in the past. The initial setup was also very easy. I would definitely recommend Zscaler Private Access to a friend or colleague.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing I don't like is that after a certain amount of time, it disconnects by itself, and I have to reconnect it. I'm not sure how long, but I would venture to say approximately 3 hours of inactivity. Sometimes I need it to stay connected and it doesn't happen.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Zscaler Private Access to securely connect to my company's services, allowing me to access tools like Cyberark and remote desktop without reducing my connection speed.
Fast, Safe, and Frictionless Access
What do you like best about the product?
What I appreciate most about Zscaler Private Access is its ability to deliver secure and seamless access to internal applications without the need for traditional VPNs. By adopting a zero-trust approach, it not only reduces the attack surface but also enhances the user experience and streamlines access management.
What do you dislike about the product?
One aspect I find frustrating about Zscaler Private Access is that troubleshooting can be quite difficult at times. Since access is separated from the underlying network, resolving connectivity problems often means working through several layers, including policies, connectors, identity, and application settings.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Zscaler Private Access addresses the shortcomings of traditional VPNs by offering secure, identity-based access to internal applications without exposing the entire network. By removing the need for full tunnel VPNs, it helps reduce the attack surface and blocks lateral movement within the network. For me, this results in enhanced security, easier access management, and a noticeably faster, more seamless user experience.
Seamless Zero-Trust Access That Replaces VPNs Effortlessly
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Zscaler Private Access completely removes the need for traditional VPNs. It provides seamless, zero-trust access to internal applications without exposing the network, which significantly reduces attack surfaces. The user experience is smooth, connections are fast, and access policies are easy to manage across distributed teams.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don’t dislike much about ZPA, but when something does go wrong, it’s not always obvious where the issue is whether it’s connectivity, policy, or the Zscaler client. It takes a bit of learning to get comfortable with the troubleshooting flow.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
ZPA has solved a lot of the friction I used to face with VPNs, slow logins, dropped connections, and access issues when working remotely. Now I can securely access internal apps instantly, and everything runs in the background. It’s more secure and way more convenient.

Seamless Zero-Trust Access That Elevates Security and User Experience
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Zscaler Private Access provides seamless, zero-trust access to internal applications without requiring a traditional VPN. It improves security and user experience while reducing dependency on network-based access.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the troubleshooting process can be challenging because logs and error messages aren’t always clear, and diagnosing connectivity issues often requires multiple tools and steps.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Zscaler Private Access is solving the challenge of secure remote access without relying on traditional VPN infrastructure. By channelizing traffic at the application level instead of providing full network access, it significantly reduces unnecessary network load and improves performance. This approach not only minimizes network congestion but also enhances security by eliminating lateral movement.
From a user perspective, it provides seamless and reliable connectivity to internal applications while reducing dependency on network routing or multiple access gateways. Overall, it simplifies access, increases efficiency, and delivers a better user experience while strengthening the organization’s Zero Trust security posture.

A Game-Changer for Remote Work in Unstable Networks

I love how Zscaler Private Access simplifies my remote work by providing ease of use, especially in environments with unstable networks like Ethiopia. Unlike traditional VPNs that require constant reconnections and multiple layers of reauthentication, this solution dramatically streamlines the process. I find Zscaler Private Access particularly valuable for its ability to handle multi-environment access with remarkable efficiency, allowing seamless switching between platforms such as Azure, private VMs, and AWS without the need for repeated authentication. This feature, in particular, boosts my productivity and operational flow because I don’t waste time dealing with cumbersome authentication procedures. Additionally, the diversity of platforms I can access through Zscaler Private Access increases its versatility and utility for various tasks and projects. The initial setup was easy, further enhancing the overall positive experience with the tool.
