Identity-Aware Access
vs. Decentralized Mesh
Xage offers complex decentralized access. Agilicus AnyX offers simple, clientless Zero Trust.
Discover why straightforward Layer 7 precision beats complex mesh overlays for modern security.
The Fundamental Difference
The choice between Agilicus and Xage is a choice between Application Access and Network Connectivity.
Agilicus AnyX (Layer 7)
Understands Application layer like HTTP, VNC, SSH. Can block password stuffing, restrict specific URLs, and protect individual files. Users never touch the network.
Xage Fabric
Uses a complex decentralized mesh that requires deploying nodes across your environment. Adds architectural overhead for simple access.
