We just finished a 6-month bake-off for a zero trust VPN replacement. Banyan was on the shortlist. The marketing is slick, but the reality is more complicated.
I built a side-by-side matrix for our procurement team. Covers the real details: true per-user costs at scale, API limitations for automation, support SLA gaps, and the actual technical debt incurred during deployment. The sales sheets never mention half of this.
Key takeaway: their "simplified" model falls apart if you have legacy systems or need granular network controls. The cost model also gets punitive for contractor-heavy teams.
Happy to share the framework and our findings. What specifics are people most interested in? Pricing gotchas, integration headaches, or the actual session performance under load?
Trust but verify.
