Perimeter 81 is a cloud-based Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) platform that provides centralized access to local networks, applications, and cloud resources. The company takes a security-first approach and aims to disrupt the VPN industry by offering a simple and scalable network access alternative for organizations of all sizes. However, if you're looking for a more reliable and enterprise-ready solution to manage access to infrastructure, Perimeter 81 might not be the best solution for your needs. This blog post will take a look at a few Perimeter 81 alternatives and discuss the strengths and weaknesses of each.
Businesses use Perimeter 81 to secure their remote workforce. IT Admins can build multiple groups and control team permissions using an intuitive user interface. The software then integrates with popular security information and event management (SIEM) tools to help monitor and log network activity and protect company resources.
Delinea is a control plane to manage and monitor access to databases, servers, and Kubernetes. Their zero trust model means instead of distributing access across a combination of VPN, individual database credentials, and SSH keys, Delinea unifies user management in your existing SSO (Google, Onelogin, Duo, Okta, SAML, etc...) and keeps the underlying credentials hidden. Neither credentials nor keys are accessible by end users. Because Delinea deconstructs every protocol, it also logs all database queries, SSH and RDP sessions, and kubectl activity.
Delinea offers simple pricing, including support for all resource types.
