How this list is ordered. Specifiction scores each tool on how fully its maker documents it, whether its prices are published, where the research puts it, the platforms it runs on and whether it can be tried for free (how we rank). Makers can also buy a numbered place (how Specifiction is paid for).

Free plan availability and paid-from pricing provide additional details to weigh. Cloudflare Access, flexiWAN, and Cato Client are among the named products; D-Link Nuclias Cloud SD-WAN Gateway (DBG-2000) and Versa Zero Trust Network Access are also included.
