    This product offers simple ways to manage network routing between public cloud, on-prem, and external network. It has built-in options to secure network traffic, as well as option to direct traffic to 3rd party security products for a more advanced traffic inspection. The core function works and is easy to operate. On the other hand, I am unable to give it more than 7-star because some useful features are lacking. This includes lack of customization in email alerting, IPS policy management, and temproarily admin-down of an established site to site VPN connection.

    It's best suited for a distributed remote workforce, securing internet access for users from anywhere. Suitable for highly regulated industries, such as banking and Healthcare. Not a good fit for an organisation where most of its legacy is in an on-premises environment. Bandwidth-intensive industries like media/entertainment firms.

    Pros
    Aviatrix
    • With a few very easy steps to establish routing between AWS VPC
    • Easy procedures to establish site to site VPN connection with external parties.
    • Provide network access control on routing traffic using its own build-in firewall inspection or directing traffic to 3rd party NGFW for full stack inspection.

    • Single Pane of Glass Management - Everything is very easy to access and monitor the entire environment from an internet security perspective.
    • Install Flexibility - We can and do install Zscaler Internet Access on both our client devices as well as our SD-WAN appliances and servers. This allows us to control internet security even on devices without an agent in our networks.

    Cons
    Aviatrix
    • It lacks of ways to admin-down an established site to site VPN connections is one of the short coming.
    • In network traffic inspection, it lacks options to customize the IPS function is another short coming.
    • While the product allows lots of email alerting options, it lacks ways to customize the alerting email messages and ways to suppress alert flooding.

    • The logs feel kind of lack luster
    • When issues are arising with SSL Inspection, logs show everything working despite end user experience
    • Could use some kind of global find functionality or something that would allow you to search the entire configuration for matching URLs and the like

    While Zscaler Internet Access (ZIA) delivers critical value in cloud security and RBI compliance, I rate renewal likelihood 7/10 due to evolving needs versus platform limitations. Below is my rationale:
    Key Gaps:
    1. Advanced Threat Costs:
    ZIA’s add-ons (e.g., Advanced DLP, Sandboxing) incur 35%+ cost premiums – straining budgets as transaction volumes (UPI/iMobile) grow 50% YoY.
    2. API Banking Scalability:
    ZIA’s API rate limits throttle real-time policy sync during UPI peaks (10K+ TPS), forcing workarounds for finacle integrations.
    3. RBI Future-Proofing:
    Limited native support for upcoming digital rupee (CBDC) security rules requires custom development, increasing compliance overhead.

    The application is easy to install and configure on all Windows devices. To troubleshoot any internet issue, we can easily collect all the relevant logs from Zscaler and check the exact issue. The only problem is with the uninstall, as a dedicated crew needs to provide the password.

    Zscaler's ZIA support is quick and knowledgable. They respond within 1-2 hours of you submitting your ticket. They are very thorough and are typically ready to jump on a live troubleshooting session. Our ZIA platform and how we use is it unique so at times tickets can be open for weeks but we alway get quality support compared to other unrelated product support in our enterprise

    We initially tried using the native routing funcitons in AWS (transit gateway) and in Azure (virtual network). While those native options worked, it became difficult to opeate when we tried to impose security inspection on the routing traffic. This leads us to the Aviatrix solution.

    Zscaler Intenet Access outperformed the competition due to its lightning-fast policy delivery and cross-compatibility. It is easy to track employee usage and block unnecessary websites, reducing company internet usage. Zscalar installed on every system increases cloud-based software bandwidth, decreasing user turnaround time and increasing efficiency.

    Return on Investment
    Aviatrix
    • Reduce labor hours for network admin to manage public clound network routing policy.
    • Build-in security features may be good enough for small/medium size companies, and thus saving money from full funciton NGFW solution.
    • The Cost-IQ feature enable one to capture traffic volume of each VPC. This provides one way for the enterprise to perform cost charge back to various business funcitons at the VPC level.
