About this app

The Zscaler Client Connector for Android includes both Zscaler Internet Access and Zscaler Private Access modules.
Note: This app uses the Device Administrator permission and also uses VpnService for securing network connections
Mobility has raised business productivity, but it’s brought its share of issues, as well. One of the biggest challenges is the need to provide complete, consistent security across devices that you may not own. The majority of web traffic from mobile devices comes from apps, not from standard browsers, so threats may not even be visible to traditional security appliances.
Note: Zscaler Client Connector is used with an active enterprise subscription to Zscaler's Mobile Security service. Please follow instructions from your IT organization to use this app.
Zscaler Client Connector automatically creates a lightweight HTTP tunnel that connects the user’s endpoint to Zscaler’s cloud security platform with no need for PAC files or authentication cookies. The Zscaler Cloud Service delivers one-step enrollment, with multifactor authentication support via SAML.
Additional Notes :
Zscaler Client Connector uses few special permission for QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES for securing the application and applying few rules to the traffic.
Application Uses VpnService for securing network on the device by creating encrypted tunnel to with zero touch fundamentals.

Ratings and reviews

seemed like issue with it turning back on automafically was resolved, but then it started happening again... i turn off vpn and couple of minutes later, there is the app again, sucking my battery in the background. totally unacceptable!!

This application we are forced to use on all our security devices at work are inefficient, they don't work most the time and they slow everything to a crawl. As for those who claim they don't have any problems rather than dismissing the masses that are obviously having issues with it which is the majority of the users, accept and try to fix the issues instead of trying to marginalize the people who are actually having issues with it.

Easily the worst VPN app, probably the worst android app, I've ever used. Aside from the expected hang ups and crashes (which are numerous), the app will occasionally fail completely silently. As in, you diagnose the problem by uninstalling zscaler and seeing if your other apps work. Oh yeah, zscaler crashes affect ~any and all other processes on your phone. And you can't disable zscaler - you have to uninstall it. 0 stars if I could.
