In their own words
AccessOne
AccessOne is a software-only SD-WAN platform that adds encrypted networking over existing MPLS circuits and legacy VPN hardware. It runs on commodity x86 hardware or cloud VMs on AWS, Azure, and GCP, managed through one dashboard. Listed VPN protocols are WireGuard, IKEv2, and IPSec. The AccessOne VPN App is listed for iOS, macOS, Android, and Windows, with Keycloak SSO; a lightweight Linux Connector serves small branches and retail. VSM Dashboard provides centralized management, real-time monitoring, and an audit trail. Security features include default-deny zero-trust policies, mutual TLS with a unique X.509 certificate per edge device, VRF tenant isolation, and inline Suricata IDS/IPS with active blocking. Grafana, VictoriaMetrics, and Loki are named for per-flow visibility. Prime is positioned for branches and VMs at about 3 Gbps; Enterprise for headquarters and data centers at 10 Gbps or more; Shared MTGE for MSP and wholesale use with 10 or more tenants.

Automation includes zero-touch provisioning, multi-WAN failover, tunnel load balancing, and AI-based network healing. Firewall controls include application identification, port forwarding, and 1:1 NAT; 2FA login is supported. The modular App Store accommodates third-party applications for security, optimization, voice and video, and DPI. flexiWAN runs through Linux, web, API, and self-hosted deployments, with cloud and virtual appliance options. A free plan for 1–5 instances and a trial are available. The pricing note lists plans from $33/mo (annual); the pricing page says minimum fees apply after the trial period.
