We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It's the endpoint exposition. We don't need to expose our VPN server to the internet and need a zero-test solution. I can apply some conditional access to the endpoint that's connecting to our network to check their security policies or the security condition of their workstation. Once the workstation is trying to connect to my internal network, then I would like to check the discrete condition of these endpoints that are trying to access my internal network. We created some conditional access. We have CrowdStrike, to check if the CrowdStrike is installed, to check if it's updated, and to check for Windows updates. We created some conditional policies to check it.""For Cloudflare Access, I am using the free plan...The most valuable feature is their protection.""Enables me to work from two locations.""The tool also offers good scalability, and the dashboard, along with real-time analytics, is very good.""Cloudflare, in my opinion, was easy to implement."

More Cloudflare Access Pros →

"I would rate the solution's stability eight or nine out of ten.""The keystore feature has been most valuable for us.""Some of the valuable features of the solution are the easy integration with processes, such as Single Sign-On. Overall WSO2 is straightforward and does not need customization.""The single sign-on procedure itself, as well as the ability to connect to external user sources such as Microsoft Active Directory and LDAP servers, are the solution's most valuable features.""It's very easy to implement everything.""Comprehensive ecosystem.""The product provides easy integration between API manager and IT server components."

Cons
"The pricing is an area that can be improved. Pricing, as far as I recall, was the source of our problems.""For the topic of improvement, providing some training material is one of my suggestions.""When there are any dynamic changes in complex applications, the tool takes a lot of time, making its analytics-related area a major matter of concern where improvements are needed.""They don't have a person to provide support for customers using the solution under their free plan."

More Cloudflare Access Cons →

"This solution does not have BPM workflows already integrated, we had to integrate the BPM module externally. They do not provide full-featured auditing and certification modules out of the box.""I found the initial setup to be very complex.""Sometimes working with the code is difficult because I search for documentation about the code and how to work with the code, which is where I believe they should improve, by providing some documentation on how to work with the code.""The high availability architecture has to be improved.""The solution could improve its development from a user perspective.""There needs to be a good support model and easy-to-understand documentation.""This solution requires extensive knowledge to be used effectively as certain areas of its use are not user friendly."

    Overview

    Cloudflare Access is a powerful identity and access management solution that provides secure and seamless access to internal resources. It eliminates the need for traditional VPNs and allows organizations to enforce granular access controls based on user identity and device posture. With Cloudflare Access, users can authenticate using their existing identity providers, such as Google or Okta, and access resources without exposing them to the public internet. This ensures that only authorized users can access sensitive data and applications. 

    Additionally, Cloudflare Access provides a unified dashboard for managing access policies, making it easy to enforce security policies across the organization. With its zero-trust approach, Cloudflare Access helps organizations protect their resources from unauthorized access and potential data breaches.

    WSO2 Identity Server can be used to simplify identity and access management (IAM) related activities in the enterprise. The product is based on open standards and open source principles. WSO2 Identity Server comes with seamless, easy to use integration capabilities that help connect applications, user stores, directories and identity management systems.
