They aren't interested in the way how we are protected from various cyber threats - Zscaler is the perfect solution as it gives us the wanted protection without the need of any user intervention - it works in the background while we perform our daily tasks. I was really amazed by the pace of how ZScaler detects potential vulnerabilities and possible cyber attacks. > > **Cons**: ZScaler can be costly when thinking about using it in big enterprises. ----- ### "ZScaler review" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *24 May 2022* | Pharmaceuticals | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: Cloud and security protections to beef up your company's infrastructure with less costs. > > **Cons**: It does away with physical servers needed for those who prefer that. ----- ### "I left a job I loved because of ZScaler" — 1.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *21 January 2021* | Insurance | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: - Provides competent security and access for basic computing - macOS app works alright, although it does have plenty of hiccups > > **Cons**: - Hard to get it to work right with software development tools. In some cases, no proper solution was ever found. - Support is incredibly terrible. Unhelpful and wastes a lot of time. I really can't emphasize enough how frustrating the support was. I ended up just finding my own workarounds 90% of the time, after spending hours and hours on the line with support. - Adds latency, which can make profiling network operations difficult. - Sometimes you run into websites randomly blocking you or asking for CAPTCHA due to routing through ZScaler gateways. > > Let me start by describing what ZScaler is at its heart: a cloud-based network proxy that uses its own root certificate to inspect TLS/SSL traffic. If you are a company in the business of making software, keep this product away from your software developers. Far, far away. It does not play nice with many software development tools, even once you go through the pain of adding their root certificate in all the right places. I have spent hours and even days interacting with ZScaler support, often with no solution ever found. After spending months fighting frequent issues that came up, I finally threw my hands in the air and left my company. It probably works fine if you're just doing "regular" stuff with your network, like browsing, file uploads/downlads, etc. If you're doing anything more advanced, keep away from ZScaler. ----- ### "Industry grade protection" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *20 February 2023* | Telecommunications | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Offers protection from all kinds of threats, and helps to confidently access sensitive client information > > **Cons**: Since the service keeps running in the background there is a significant consumption of resources that costs slightly in terms of performance > > Has always given a secure feeling. Must have when working with data that cannot be compromised at any cost ----- ### "Great experience" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *30 November 2023* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: It secures organization from threats and vulnerability from internet and private acces. > > **Cons**: As of now nothing to dislike about Zscaler ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/241644/zscaler-internet-access?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/241644/zscaler-internet-access) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
