Secure Edge vs VPNs

For the last several years, cybersecurity experts and government agencies have been urging companies to replace VPNs with a Secure Access Services Edge.

Download the full comparison of Neeve Secure Edge to TOSIBOX and TeamViewer along with comparisons to three additional VPN vendors.


TOSI has several drawbacks compared to Secure edge. Tosi:

  • Requires a software agent or a hardware dongle, which is a major barrier for universal adoption.
  • Creates yet another overlay VPN network
  • Does not directly secure the existing network
  • Does not micro-segment your network to prevent lateral movements
  • Provides no individual device redundancy or WAN failover
  • Does not support on-premise and hybrid cloud applications
  • Requires additional purchase for each cloud environment

TeamViewer was never designed for OT and has many drawbacks compared to Secure Edge. TeamViewer:

  • Has no trusted platform module (TPM) to ensure sanctity of hardware or software
  • Has 10 known common vulnerability exposures, 5 issues that allow direct execution of code.
  • Requires a lot of staff time for installation of client on each and every endpoint and technician’s device additional management tracking installations to manage exposure risk. Lack of granular controls mean that staff needs to monitor remote access at all times.
  • Requires staff to initiate a session on the on-site device, or leave the agent running in the background as an open vulnerability – a ”No-go” for many vendors based on their corporate governance
