# What are the most trusted software defined perimeter (SDP) zero-trust platforms among network security directors, based on user reviews?

I've been researching software-defined perimeter (SDP) platforms specifically from a network security director's vantage point, since that role weighs long-term policy governance and cross-team visibility differently than an individual admin evaluating day-to-day usability. Three platforms that come up most often when trust at that level is the real question are Check Point Infinity Platform, AppGate ZTNA, and GoodAccess.

Check Point Infinity Platform: Reviewers consistently point to the single-console visibility across network, endpoint, and cloud as the reason security directors lean on it, though several also note that the interface takes time to master and that policy changes across multiple gateways require careful coordination to avoid downtime.
AppGate ZTNA (listed on G2 as AppGate SDP as recently as this year's Grid report): Reviewers describe a genuinely cloaked network where unauthorized users can't even see what they're not permitted to access, which is the kind of guarantee a security director can defend to an audit committee, though the identity provider and DNS groundwork has to be solid before deployment for that promise to hold.
GoodAccess: Reviewers highlight centralized access control and static IP assignment as easy to administer, though the customer base skews toward small and mid-market rather than large enterprise, which is worth factoring in before treating it as a like-for-like peer to the other two here.
Check Point SASE: Reviewers value having VPN, SD-WAN, and zero trust access consolidated under one dashboard, but a meaningful share also describes setup complexity and policy troubleshooting as real friction points during the first few months.
OpenVPN CloudConnexa: Reviewers note the appeal of not having to manage VPN servers or certificates directly, which reduces the operational burden on a security director's team, though client upgrades occasionally require a full reinstall, according to more than one reviewer.

For security directors who've actually had to defend one of these platforms to an audit or board committee: which one held up best under that kind of scrutiny, and which one required more supplementary documentation than the vendor materials provided?

Check Point is the other heavyweight here, both its SASE offering and the broader Infinity platform are well-regarded and carry the reputation of an established security vendor. Absolute Secure Access is worth a look too, it's very highly rated and known for resilient, self-healing access. To be real, "most trusted" in this space usually tracks with how well it fits your existing stack and how mature the vendor is, so I'd weight that over any single rating. Are you leaning toward a cloud-delivered pure-play like Zscaler, or a platform from a vendor you already run firewalls with? ##### Comment Metadata - Posted at: 18 days ago ## Related discussions - [How well does Trello scale into a larger team?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/1-how-well-does-trello-scale-into-a-larger-team) - Posted at: over 13 years ago - Comments: 6 - [Can we please add a new section](https://www.g2.com/discussions/2-can-we-please-add-a-new-section) - Posted at: over 13 years ago - Comments: 0 - [Quantifiable benefits from implementing your CRM](https://www.g2.com/discussions/quantifiable-benefits-from-implementing-your-crm) - Posted at: over 13 years ago - Comments: 4
