# Best Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) Platforms - Page 2 *By [Lauren Worth](https://research.g2.com/insights/author/lauren-worth)* Secure access service edge (SASE) is a cybersecurity architecture built to tackle modern computing environments. Traditionally, companies utilize numerous point solutions to secure access to networks and connections and manage identities. With SASE platforms, companies can combine the functionality of secure application and network access through a software-defined, cloud-native solution. SASE platforms can be delivered as a single software-as-a-service (SaaS) offering or a collection of integrated security solutions flexibly designed to meet the unique needs of modern enterprises. These platforms emerged as the next generation of [secure web gateways](https://www.g2.com/categories/secure-web-gateways) and [cloud access security broker (CASB) software](https://www.g2.com/categories/cloud-access-security-broker-casb). New cloud-native solutions began to emerge to secure access across environments. Eventually, these edge security products were equipped with [zero-trust networking](https://www.g2.com/categories/zero-trust-networking), risk-based identity management, and a secure [software-defined perimeter (SDP)](https://www.g2.com/categories/software-defined-perimeter-sdp). To qualify for inclusion in the Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) category, a product or product suite must: - Provide a single access point for SaaS applications, web browsers, and networks - Centrally manage policies and risks across hybrid environments, networks, and applications - Provide a virtual firewall as a service - Secure connections between end users and cloud service providers - Protect data and connected devices from cloud-based threats and malware - Use adaptive authentication to verify user permissions continuously - Monitor traffic and user behavior for future inspection and analysis ## G2 Grid® for Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) Platforms ![G2 Grid® for Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) Platforms plotting products by satisfaction and market presence](https://www.g2.com/categories/secure-access-service-edge-sase-platforms/grids.png?focus%5B%5D=55494&focus%5B%5D=38039&focus%5B%5D=53174&focus%5B%5D=121817&focus%5B%5D=88182&focus%5B%5D=17782) Highlighted products: Check Point SASE, Cato SASE Cloud, Todyl Security Platform, Prisma Access, Zscaler Private Access, and Aryaka Networks.

Unlike headless-only content management systems that solve for content availability (storing content and delivering it via API), AEM is architected for brand visibility: ensuring content performs once it reaches every surface, from web and mobile to LLMs and emerging agentic channels. What Adobe Experience Manager Is Experience Manager combines structured content management, digital asset management, agentic workflows, enterprise governance, and edge delivery in a single, natively integrated platform. Most enterprises already use AEM as a headless system of record powering mobile apps, multi-site experiences, and connected channels, while also gaining the presentation, delivery, and optimization layers that headless-only systems require customers to build or buy separately. Agentic CMS: The Foundation for AI Discovery AEM is designed as an agentic content management system. Structured, governed, fast content is what AI systems surface, cite, and trust. AEM's agent capabilities — including the Brand Experience Agent, Brand Governance Agent, and Content Advisor Agent — bring intelligence and automation across the content lifecycle: accelerating creation and migration, enforcing brand and compliance governance, and continuously optimizing experiences for both human and agentic traffic. Key Capabilities Experience Manager Sites: A modern decoupled architecture for creating and delivering personalized web and app experiences at scale, serving both headless (Content Fragments via GraphQL/REST) and full experience delivery needs. Experience Manager Assets: A digital asset management system to govern and activate assets, with native AI trained on a brand's data, voice, and creative DNA across regions and geographies. Experience Manager Forms: End-to-end digital enrollment integrated with back-end systems of record. AEM Sites Optimizer: Continuous optimization of performance, SEO, and discoverability (requires AEM Sites). LLM Optimizer: Purpose-built visibility into agentic traffic using real CDN signals, with brand-aware recommendations to improve how content is surfaced and cited by AI systems. Edge Delivery Services: Sub-second content delivery with personalization applied at the edge, built for agentic workflows where content is assembled and served in milliseconds. Experience Manager Guides and Learning Manager: Scalable component content management for documentation, knowledge, and support content, and an integrated learning management system. Differentiators Content + decisioning in one event loop: AEM integrates with Adobe Journey Optimizer and Real-Time CDP, making content decisions on unified customer profiles that draw on behavioral, transactional, and engagement signals, not on CRM records alone. Generative creation in the workflow: Adobe Firefly and generative content capabilities are embedded inside AEM's authoring environment as native capabilities, not adjacent integrations. Enterprise governance at scale: Multi-site, multi-brand, multi-language support with role-based access control, workflow approvals, and audit trails built in. Proven Results Brands using Adobe's optimization capabilities have seen measurable gains in AI-era visibility, including significant increases in LLM citation rates and AI-referral traffic, alongside improvements in page performance and organic visibility.
