Hybrid work requirements for enterprises continue to evolve, with enterprises looking for secure application access that supports not only managed users and devices, but also has support for unmanaged devices, such as those from contractors or consultants, as well as BYOD devices that managed users prefer to use (such as personal devices like tablets). Administrators and users alike demand a consistent experience, in managing and deploying as well as in usage, and only Menlo Secure Application Access can offer client and clientless support, network separation between the user and the application, and rapid deployment with easy management. This mitigates the need for legacy ZTNA, VPN, and VDI solutions which can be cumbersome to deploy and present a poor and inconsistent user experience.
