Elisity Microsegmentation vs Hopr

Elisity Microsegmentation applies identity-based least-privilege policies to users, workloads, and devices across IT, IoT, OT, and IoMT networks. Passive telemetry and integrations discover devices and correlate identity, behavior, traffic, and risk in IdentityGraph. Teams can simulate policies against real traffic before activation, while Elisity Intelligence recommends actions for customer approval. A cloud-hosted Cloud Control Center manages Virtual Edge deployments, and Virtual Edge Nodes enforce policies through existing network infrastructure. Elisity describes Virtual Edge as lightweight container software for access-layer switches or virtual environments, without additional hardware. The platform is agentless, supports mixed workloads and hybrid cloud environments, and is available through API, self-hosted, and web platforms. Integrations include Armis, Claroty, CrowdStrike, Microsoft Defender, ServiceNow, Active Directory, Splunk, Cisco, Juniper, Aruba, and Arista. It targets healthcare, manufacturing and industrial organizations, and commercial enterprises. Pricing and subscription terms are set in a Software Order.

Hopr provides Zero Trust access control for workloads and APIs using Cloud Native Automated Moving Target Defense. Its Workload Security Proxy is a lightweight proxy built on open-source Envoy and can be deployed with legacy virtual machines or container systems such as Kubernetes. Machine Alias ID gives each workload a frequently rotating identity credential. Hopr says its SEE protocol establishes a bidirectional, end-to-end encrypted channel for each session without a key exchange. Runtime Microsharding divides the application-layer attack surface into small, dynamic shards. Lane7 Blueprints are preconfigured Kubernetes networks that Hopr says can be deployed in under 30 minutes. Blueprint downloads are free, but use requires a Hopr license; the site offers a 30-day trial license. The Korvette-S WoSPs plan costs $35 per month per active WoSP and includes 1 billion sessions per WoSP and unlimited workloads. Enterprise Ultra includes unlimited sessions and workloads, with pricing available through sales. Hopr describes security leaders, DevOps teams, and platform engineers as its intended users. Its licensing is restricted in some countries by export regulations.
