Starting a VPN replacement project, adopting Zero Trust, or addressing legacy ZTNA challenges?
Modern hybrid workforce models demand consistent, uniform security across remote and on-premises users — without performance bottlenecks.
ZTNA, SWG, CASB, SD-WAN, FWaaS in one platform. One policy engine, one console, one vendor relationship.
Eliminates VPN bottlenecks and latency. Traffic routes directly to the application — never hairpinned through a central gateway.
No network exposure, no lateral movement risk. Users access only the specific application they're authorized for — nothing else.
Always current — no fragile clients or gateways to maintain. Versa delivers automatic updates across your entire deployment.
Aligns with user, bandwidth, or hybrid models. One SASE subscription covers your entire security and networking stack.
Meets Zero Trust mandates and reduces cyber insurance risk. Audit-aligned controls with hybrid/cloud flexibility built in.
How Versa Compares
Not all ZTNA is equal. See how Versa's unified SASE approach outperforms both legacy VPNs and standalone ZTNA point solutions.
| Category | Legacy VPN Provider | Generic ZTNA | ✓ Versa ZTNA (Unified SASE) |
|---|---|---|---|
| User Performance | Traffic hairpins through concentrators; bandwidth collapse; video and file transfers stall. | Cloud-based models can add latency if traffic must traverse limited PoPs. | Direct-to-app access via closest cloud edge; fast, consistent performance without hairpinning. |
| Session Stability | Frequent disconnects, high reconnection latency, fragile mobile support. | Stable sessions determined by number of PoPs; reports of inconsistent roaming handoffs. | Seamless per-app sessions that persist across Wi-Fi, LTE, and roaming; zero tunnel drops. |
| Admin Overhead | Appliance patching, fragile drivers, emergency zero-day updates. | Separate ZTNA service with its own policy stack; limited integration with networking. | Centralized policy engine across ZTNA, SWG, CASB, FWaaS, SD-WAN; cloud-delivered updates. |
| Security Model | Broad network-level access enables lateral movement; exposed concentrators. | App-level Zero Trust access; limited inline security beyond access control. | Per-app Zero Trust with inline IDS/IPS, DLP, and threat intel; apps hidden from internet. |
| Compliance & Risk | Hard to align with Zero Trust mandates; repeated patch scramble cycles. | Meets Zero Trust principles but with coverage gaps for hybrid workloads. | Audit-aligned controls, insurance-friendly posture, hybrid/cloud flexibility. |
| Cost & Licensing | Add-on licenses for scale; multiple point vendors for VPN + SWG + FWaaS. | Separate SKUs for different services; can increase TCO over time. | Unified SASE stack (ZTNA, SWG, FWaaS, SD-WAN) reduces vendor sprawl and lowers long-term cost. |
