Hi everyone. I'm new to the ZTNA space and honestly feeling a bit lost with all the options. My team is looking to move away from our traditional VPN, and Zscaler keeps coming up. But I'd like to see what else is out there.
We're evaluating Cloudflare and Netskope already. Are there any other solid ZTNA platforms you'd recommend for a mid-sized company? I'm especially interested in ones with strong identity integration (we use Azure AD) and clear reporting on access patterns. Just trying to find a practical solution that works.

You've already hit on the biggest names, which is smart. Since you're specifically looking beyond them and have Azure AD, I'd put Perimeter 81 and Twingate on your list for a more direct comparison. Both are architected with a strong identity-first foundation.
Their reporting models differ significantly from the larger platforms, focusing more on user and device session telemetry than deep packet inspection. This can be a positive if you need clarity on *who* is accessing *what*, but a negative if you need forensic-level application traffic analysis. I'd suggest you define the specific access patterns your security team needs to audit before proceeding.
