Appgate ZTNA is a commercial zero trust network access solution by AppGate. Microsoft Entra Private Access is a commercial zero trust network access solution by Microsoft. Features, integrations, deployment and the company behind each one, side by side.
What our shortlists say about the one we picked.
Best for: Companies that run identity on Microsoft Entra ID
If identity already runs on Entra ID, this reuses your Conditional Access rules as access rules, so there is no second policy engine to run. The MFA for legacy protocols suits mid-market and enterprise estates with older Windows apps. Check licensing first, because users also need Entra ID P1 or P2.
