Comodo Secure DNS vs GoodAccess

Comodo Secure DNS routes DNS requests through redundant security servers and filters web access to block phishing, malware domains, malicious sites, botnets, spyware, and other web-borne attacks. Its cloud infrastructure uses load balancing and geographically distributed Anycast servers hosted in more than 25 countries. Domain filtering spans more than 80 content categories, with millions of new domains added every two hours; administrators can also set custom blacklists and whitelists. Policies and visibility can be assigned by company, location, endpoint, mobile device, IP, subnet, or user. Protection extends to roaming users off-network, and iOS and Android apps cover cellular and Wi-Fi connections. Administrators get customizable real-time and scheduled email reports, plus customizable block pages. The free Gold package allows up to 300,000 DNS requests per month, but excludes several internal-network and encryption features. Separate Platinum packages are offered for enterprises and MSPs, with prices not listed. The listed platforms are Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, web, and Windows.

GoodAccess combines a cloud business VPN, secure web gateway, and Zero Trust network access in one platform for small and midsize businesses. Its Starter plan provides secure internet access and online threat protection for business teams. Administrators can centrally manage accounts, protected systems, policies, network activity, and security status. Controls include MFA, SSO, device posture checks, access rules, IP restrictions, and network encryption; users can connect up to three devices simultaneously. VPN tunnels use IKEv2/IPSec and OpenVPN, and teams can choose among more than 35 cloud gateway locations. The service supports Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, ChromeOS, and web access. Identity-provider integrations include Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, Google Workspace, AWS, Azure, Sentinel, Splunk, and CrowdStrike, with SSO and SCIM provisioning. GoodAccess states that data transfer through its Zero Trust Network is unlimited. The free Starter plan is available, paid pricing starts at $7/user/mo with annual billing, and a 14-day trial is offered. Annual billing saves 20 percent.
