Before you choose
Compare free and paid access
Check whether a tool offers a free plan or a free trial before reviewing paid terms. Cloudflare Gateway has a free plan with paid service from $7 per user per month, while Cloudflare One has a free plan.
Pricing can appear as freemium, paid, or pricing on request. Cloudbrink Personal SASE follows a freemium model, while Elisity Microsegmentation and HPE Aruba Networking SSE show pricing on request.
Match the deployment model
Use the deployment model field to match the software to your environment. Elisity Microsegmentation lists API, self-hosted and web deployment options.
Check the supported platform field alongside deployment details. Across the list, platform entries include web, Windows, Linux, macOS, Android and iOS.
Assess identity and device signals
Before planning sign-in policies, check which identity providers each product supports. Device posture checks show whether the tool can include device state in an access decision.
These fields are separate comparison points, so verify both rather than assuming one covers the other.
Review access and web controls
Private app access, secure web gateway functions and CASB controls serve different traffic and application requirements. Compare the published values for the controls you require.
A product may list one control without listing another. Use the comparison fields to identify gaps before you select a plan.
Confirm user device coverage
List the operating systems and browser access your users need, then compare them with the supported platforms field. The products listed include support for web, Windows, Linux, macOS, Android and iOS.
If your rollout uses several device types, check platform support for the specific product and plan.
