How to choose
What kind of connectivity model do I need?
Start with the connectivity model that fits how your organization connects users, devices, apps, and networks.
Compare private app access and split tunneling. Split tunneling lets you decide whether traffic uses the connection or goes directly to the internet.
Which platforms does it need to support?
Check that the platforms you use are supported before comparing other features.
The board covers macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, Android, and web support.
Which access and oversight controls matter?
Compare SSO, private app access, and audit logs against your access and recordkeeping needs.
SSO means single sign-on: people use one sign-in to access supported services. Audit logs record activity.
How should I compare the cost?
Check whether there is a free plan, a free trial, and a stated starting price; some pricing is available on request.
Also compare device limits and gateway regions, since they affect how a service can be used and administered.
