Compare Devolutions Gateway vs. WALLIX One Remote Access

Conventional remote access methods such as VPNs (Virtual Private Networks) often come with challenges, including increased complexity, performance drawbacks, and potential security vulnerabilities. Devolutions Gateway provides a more secure solution: it establishes lightweight, memory-safe tunnels that activate only as required. This is particularly beneficial for overseeing external contractors or remote IT personnel, as it ensures that sessions are transmitted securely without putting backend servers at risk. The Gateway is compatible with RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol), SSH (Secure Shell), VNC (Virtual Network Computing), PowerShell, among others, all facilitated by just-in-time (JIT) access through pre-approved tokens. Included in the Remote Access Management suite are essential components: Devolutions Launcher for seamless one-click access, Hub or Server for managing and storing credentials, and role-based access control (RBAC) to guarantee that users can only view what they are permitted to see. Additionally, every action taken within the system is meticulously logged. Collectively, these features supplant traditional VPNs with a swift, flexible, and auditable access framework—an ideal choice for organizations that place a high value on both security and user-friendliness. Such a modern solution not only enhances operational efficiency but also fortifies overall cybersecurity measures.

WALLIX One Remote Access is a cloud-based solution designed to secure, centralize, and manage external access to both IT and operational technology infrastructures, allowing organizations to provide remote vendors, service providers, or external users access to essential assets while maintaining a strong security posture. This solution removes the reliance on VPNs and shared passwords by creating encrypted, outbound-only tunnels from within the corporate network through a Bastion to the remote access service, ensuring that internal systems remain concealed and protected from inbound threats. By implementing multi-factor authentication (MFA) for each remote session, it enhances security further and supports just-in-time access provisioning, granting external users elevated permissions only as necessary and for a limited timeframe. Moreover, it keeps external users separate from the corporate directory, eliminating the need to include them in the main Active Directory, which helps maintain directory integrity and reduces potential risks. This approach not only fortifies security, but also streamlines access management for organizations, ultimately creating a more efficient remote access experience.
