Compare features, ratings, integrations, and community reviews side by side to find the best zero trust network access fit for your security stack.
CST VerdictBased on our analysis of NIST CSF 2.0 coverage, core features, integrations, company size fit, here is our conclusion:
Teams managing hybrid workforces without the budget or patience for hardware appliances should evaluate Portnox ZTNA for its zero-deployment model and endpoint risk assessment. The passwordless authentication and automated remediation directly reduce the access-control friction that kills ZTNA adoption at SMBs, while native integrations with Okta and Entra ID mean no custom middleware. Skip this if your priority is detecting lateral movement post-breach; Portnox emphasizes access prevention over threat hunting, which means you'll still need a separate detection layer.
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.
