We use the following criteria to evaluate this product:
Cost considerations
Pricing starts around $8–$12 per user just for the core service, and extras like advanced DLP or Exact Data Match are sold as separate subscriptions that can push enterprise bills well into six figures annually. User reviews frequently label the offering as expensive compared with rival data-security tools, even before optional modules are added. The high base cost plus piecemeal add-ons make overall value less certain than more moderately priced alternatives.

Functionality
Zscaler Data Protection automatically discovers and classifies sensitive data across web, cloud apps, endpoints and public clouds while enforcing fine-grained DLP controls. The service offers encryption and redaction actions but keeps key handling inside the provider’s environment, so customers do not get full ownership of key lifecycle management. Dashboards surface policy breaches and risky activity, yet deeper user behavior analytics and advanced customer-controlled encryption fall short of the most feature-rich competitors.

Compatibility
Zscaler Data Protection offers direct connectors for Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, AWS, Azure, GCP storage, and on-prem databases, minimizing setup work and keeping data in sync. Security teams can push logs to Splunk and other SIEMs via built-in NSS syslog feeds and automate workflows through documented REST APIs, providing broad interoperability with existing toolchains

User experience
Cloud dashboards and guided policy creation make Zscaler Data Protection generally approachable for security teams. Reviews still report laggy screens and a learning curve that requires extra training to master policy tuning, so the experience is functional but not effortless.

Customer support
Zscaler Data Protection customers can reach senior engineers 24×7×365, with 15-minute first-response targets for urgent tickets via phone or web. The cloud-native service pushes threat signatures and data-loss policy updates several times a day, so protection stays current without manual effort. Dedicated customer-success advisors conduct regular architecture and key-management reviews, giving teams ongoing expert guidance rather than basic break-fix help.
