We use Zscaler to provide access to internal resources and to source our IP address, when needed, for legacy sites (SIPA). We replaced a VPN platform that was getting almost weekly security advisories.
Pros
Enables zero trust access to internal resources
Provides always-on connectivity.
Makes client upgrades a breeze.
Cons
Works well
I can't
think of anything
Likelihood to Recommend
It is well suited for associate access and less suited for third party access. However, there are other methods for third party access.
During the pandemic, we had to implement a new VPN solution because our original one could not handle the load of so many more people working remotely. We now use Zscaler as our primary VPN tool because it is able to handle a large number of users and is much easier to use than our previous solution. It is a must for me because I have worked remotely for my company even before the pandemic.
Pros
Supports a large number of concurrent users
Runs in the background
Handles both VPN and security
Cons
Sometimes the interface crashes and I need to kill it and restart
It can unintentionally block some services like dropbox
I don't get a notification when I need to re-authenticate

I need to get on VPN every time I use my computer so Zscaler is nice because it loads quickly with Windows and is completely in the background. You can turn it on and off as needed through the user interface and is able to connect very quickly (I'm a couple of states away from the server I log into). It's nice that you can enable/disable the VPN connection and firewall separately.
