- Palo Alto Networks Prisma Access ZTNA 2.0
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.

- Versa Next Generation Firewall
Best for: Enterprises needing deep IoT and OT device visibility alongside NGFW
The deployment flexibility is real: cloud, virtual, and on-premises with a unified management console and zero-touch provisioning. The ZTNA capability is on-premises, which is less common than cloud-delivered ZTNA and suits organizations that need ZTNA without routing traffic through a vendor's cloud. The integration surface is broad, covering IAM, SIEM, SOAR, DLP engines, and encryption engines through native and API connections. The trade-off is that Versa is less well-known than Palo Alto, Fortinet, or Cisco, which means smaller community resources and potentially longer vendor support response times.
