The initial setup went super smoothly, especially with the help of getting best practices in place right from the start. This product's way better than the other ones we've trialed and much simpler to use too. The support is honestly outstanding; every issue we've raised so far got fixed super quick. The ZTNA component really boosts our security posture with a simple and quick setup and the browser component makes it so much more mobile and convenient for on-the-go use.

7. Fortinet Universal ZTNA

By Fortinet

It feels truly exceptional when it comes to customization and acceptability. We started with Controlled VPN like Auto-Connect VPN, Network Lockdown (another feature we are very much happy to ensure that Users are not bypassing the Auto-VPN Connect) and URL Filtering to have control on the Internet Access of Users when they are working from Home / Remote. Later, we migrated to ZTNA after evaluating along with a few other Vendors. Here, we have multiple FortiGate Firewalls in multiple plant and Branch locations, where we can integrate with FortiClient EMS (Management Portal) within minutes and simultaneously users can access the resources in any branch location. On the other hand, we have one more cloud account where FortiGate Firewall was not there initially, but still ZTNA over IPSEC VPN feature supported to have the seamless Access. The other one was the Vulnerability Assessment and Management feature which helped us avoid investing again on another solution to procure, deploy, manage and operate. This made our work simplified. The best part was, integration with the existing FortiAnalyzer VM to get built-in reports and Dashboards, even the FortiClient EMS based dashboard also helped us a lot in terms of visibility.Read all insights and reviews for Fortinet Universal ZTNA

Palo Alto Prisma access solution provides enhanced connectivity options with extended security. Product is specifically designed for Palo Alto customers. It has the same features as on-premise Palo Alto Next Gen Firewall and VPN gateways, so the transition is smooth. We are using Strata Cloud Manager for Prisma access management and monitoring. Strata Cloud Manager is more suited for cloud-only deployments and customers. Logging and monitoring options with the latest insight widget is awesome. It covers nearly all the security features for a company in the cloud. Uptime is very high. Performance is smooth. Local edges cover mainly all the primary areas. We have not seen a downtime incident in at least a 2 year period.Read all insights and reviews for Prisma Access
