For decades, network access has relied on passwords and fragile on-prem infrastructure, driving credential theft, phishing, and constant IT toil. Our JoinNow Platform replaces that model with cloud-native, certificate-based authentication that works with the IAM, MDM, and security infrastructure you already run. Non-exportable X.509 certificates, bound to device hardware, eliminate the password attack surface across Wi-Fi, VPN, applications, and AI Agents. JoinNow Dynamic PKI automates the full certificate lifecycle through modern protocols like ACME and Dynamic SCEP, while JoinNow Cloud RADIUS delivers up to 99.999% uptime with no on-prem servers to patch. The Policy Engine verifies device identity, compliance, and posture at every connection using real-time signals from Entra ID, Okta, Intune, Jamf, CrowdStrike, and Microsoft Defender. So when a device falls out of compliance, access is revoked immediately, not at the next login. The platform is vendor-neutral, deploys in hours, and is consistently rated at the top of the market across peer review sites. ](https://www.g2.com/products/securew2-joinnow/reviews "SecureW2 JoinNow")[ 7 ![Twingate Logo](https://images.g2crowd.com/uploads/product/hd_favicon/4b993c31c59e3d51739c62f2cadf0cea/twingate.svg "Twingate Logo") Twingate 4.7 (77) Twingate secures remote access to private apps, data and environments, allowing businesses to replace corporate VPNs with a more secure, usable, performant and modern zero trust-based solution. ](https://www.g2.com/products/twingate/reviews "Twingate")[ 8 ![Citrix Gateway Logo](https://images.g2crowd.com/uploads/product/hd_favicon/00f5d355e7a0a85e493ea7fb97e08298/citrix-gateway.svg "Citrix Gateway Logo") Citrix Gateway 4.0 (74) Citrix Gateway is a customer-managed solution that can be deployed on premises or on any public cloud, such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform. ](https://www.g2.com/products/citrix-gateway/reviews "Citrix Gateway")[ 9 ![Foxpass by Splashtop Logo](https://images.g2crowd.com/uploads/product/hd_favicon/8d803337acc9d0c29a8098b56747bd6a/foxpass-by-splashtop.svg "Foxpass by Splashtop Logo") Foxpass by Splashtop 4.6 (60) Advanced access control for servers and WiFi.
