What our shortlists say about the one we picked.
Best for: Prisma Access customers wanting app-level private access
It earns its place for control inside the session, because App-ID can allow an app but block an upload, and one DLP policy can cover private and SaaS apps. Support for overlapping subnets helps after a merger. It comes as part of Prisma Access for mid-market and enterprise, so weigh it as a platform decision rather than a stand-alone ZTNA buy.
