Why Teams Look for Netskope Private Access Alternatives

Network-level access without session-level controls or command logging

Complex enterprise sales process and pricing for teams that just need infrastructure access

Requires Netskope client on every device

Common Questions

What teams ask when switching from Netskope Private Access

We use Netskope for CASB and SWG too — can we partially migrate?
Yes. Use OnePAM specifically for infrastructure access (SSH, RDP, databases) while keeping Netskope for cloud app security (CASB) and web security (SWG). The tools complement each other.
Is OnePAM enterprise-grade enough to replace Netskope's access features?
OnePAM is SOC 2 Type II compliant, supports SAML/OIDC SSO, SCIM provisioning, and provides deeper infrastructure access controls than Netskope's private access module — including session recording and JIT access.
How does OnePAM pricing compare?
OnePAM starts at $19/user/month ($15 annual) with all protocols included. No bundled SASE features you don't need, no per-app pricing, and no mandatory multi-year enterprise contracts.

Who Should Switch?

OnePAM is the right choice if this sounds like your team

OnePAM is ideal for

  • Teams paying for full SASE but only using private access features
  • Organizations that need session recording that Netskope doesn't provide
  • Companies wanting focused infrastructure access without enterprise sales friction
  • Security teams that need PAM-level controls beyond network access
