Our take
What our shortlists say about the one we picked.
- Cloudflare Access
Best for: Teams wanting a fast login in front of internal apps
It earns a place because it can run several identity providers at once, which suits companies with contractors or a merger still in progress. It is a cloud service with a size fit from startups to enterprise, and Terraform support lets you manage policies as code. Ask how it handles non-web apps beyond SSH and VNC, since those are the only ones listed.
