OpenVPN CloudConnexa vs. Zscaler Private Access

CloudConnexa is a cloud-delivered zero trust network access (ZTNA) and secure access service edge (SASE) platform that provides organizations with secure, policy-based access to private networks, applications, and resources. As a single-vendor SASE solution built with small and midsize businesses (SMBs) in mind, CloudConnexa combines ZTNA, secure web gateway capabilities, and built-in threat protection into one cloud-delivered service, without the cost or complexity of stitching together point products from multiple ZTNA vendors or ZTNA providers.

Zscaler Private Access (ZPA) is a cloud-based zero trust solution that securely connects users to private applications hosted in public clouds, data centers, or on-premises environments without relying on traditional VPNs or exposing them to the internet. Built on the principles of zero trust, ZPA ensures that users are authenticated and authorized before granting access, providing application-specific access rather than exposing the network.
