HaloFortress is the modern alternative to HaloFort: one platform that ships UEM, ZTNA, EPM, and DLP as a single policy graph instead of two licensed products. Teams switch for first-class Linux fleet support, real-time posture-bound access (HaloFort enforces only at login), 1,800+ third-party patch coverage, and an 11-minute median time-to-first-policy. Migration tooling co-exists with HaloFort agents so cutover happens in days, not quarters.
HaloFort sells HaloUEM and HaloTrust as a two-product identity-aware UEM suite, mostly to mid-market and APAC enterprise buyers. Teams switch to HaloFortress when they want one platform instead of stitching multiple tools together — UEM, ZTNA, EPM, and DLP under one per-endpoint price. Where HaloFort is strong, we say so.
| Capability | HaloFortress | HaloFort |
|---|---|---|
| Single platform: UEM + ZTNA + EPM + DLP | All four, native, one price | HaloUEM and HaloTrust licensed separately |
| Median time-to-first-policy | 11 minutes | About 2 days |
| Same-day third-party patch coverage | 1,800+ apps | About 600 apps |
| Posture-bound conditional access | Real-time, signed | Login-time only |
| Linux fleet support | Native (Ubuntu, RHEL, Debian, Arch) | Not supported |
| Migration tooling from incumbents | Co-existence agents, days | PowerShell migration kit |
| Phishing-resistant MFA by default | WebAuthn + passkeys | TOTP + push, optional WebAuthn |
| Audit-ready evidence packs | Continuous, signed | Quarterly export |
| AI-driven drift detection and remediation | Built in | Roadmap |
| Pricing model | Per-endpoint, all-in | Per-product, per-tier |

We are not pretending HaloFort is a bad product. Here is what they do well, in our view, so you can make a real decision.
Yes. HaloFortress covers the same UEM and Zero Trust scope as HaloFort's HaloUEM and HaloTrust products, plus EPM and DLP, in a single platform. The functional gap most teams cite is Linux endpoint support, real-time (not login-time) posture-bound access, and broader third-party patch coverage.
Most teams complete a migration in 3 to 8 weeks. The first policy is live within 11 minutes of tenant provisioning. Co-existence agents run both stacks side-by-side so there is no all-or-nothing cutover.
Yes. HaloFortress ships native agents for Ubuntu, RHEL, Debian, and Arch, with full posture, patch, and access enforcement. Linux is a first-class platform, not a roadmap item.
HaloFortress uses a single per-endpoint price that includes UEM, ZTNA, EPM, and DLP. HaloFort licenses HaloUEM and HaloTrust separately and tiers features within each. For most fleets, all-in HaloFortress pricing is comparable to or below HaloFort UEM + Trust together.
About 80% of HaloUEM XML profiles translate 1:1 to HaloFortress YAML via the policy translator. The remaining 20% are surfaced for review, usually because they reference HaloFort-specific constructs that HaloFortress models differently.
HaloFortress runs on AWS and GCP across North America, EU, UK, and APAC (Singapore, Sydney, Mumbai). Customers can pin their tenant to a specific region for data residency requirements.
