Cloudflare One vs Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange: who is most feature complete? It’s not who you might expect

What this post added

This post positions Cloudflare One as a superior Zero Trust solution compared to Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange. It highlights Cloudflare's advantages in terms of its internet-native network platform, cloud-native service platform, broader adoption of SASE services, and extensive network on-ramps. Specific technical advantages discussed include a single, global Anycast network versus Zscaler's multiple distinct clouds, leading to a unified administrator experience and consistent service availability. Performance is also emphasized, with Cloudflare One demonstrating significantly higher throughput (6 Gbps) compared to Zscaler's 1 Gbps limit for GRE tunnels, enabling better support for high-bandwidth applications. Furthermore, Cloudflare's extensive interconnection peers and virtual backbone are presented as superior to Zscaler's edge-focused approach, enabling better transit and connectivity beyond the initial on-ramp.
