Menlo Security Secure Application Access
Security teams managing mixed device estates,managed corporate machines, contractor laptops, and personal devices,should pick Menlo Security Secure Application Access because it enforces zero trust without forcing endpoint agents onto devices you don't control. The clientless architecture means you secure app access from unmanaged and BYOD devices without the deployment friction that kills adoption on those machines. Skip this if your organization runs a locked-down corporate-only fleet where traditional VPN or agent-based ZTNA already works; you'll pay for flexibility you don't need.
Mid-market and enterprise teams replacing VPN with Zero Trust network access will value Pomerium Pomerium Zero's clientless architecture, which eliminates the endpoint agent burden that slows adoption in distributed workforces. The platform scores strongly on NIST PR.AA (Identity Management) and supports just-in-time access provisioning with time-bound controls, meaning you're not managing standing privileges at scale. Skip this if your primary concern is detection and response; Pomerium prioritizes access control and continuous monitoring over threat hunting, and you'll need a separate EDR layer for that story.
