Authentic8 Silo alternatives require careful scoping.
Authentic8 Silo covers several enterprise jobs. Current Silo Workspace materials emphasize digital investigations. Other official materials document Safe Access controls.
Legba is not equivalent under these sources. Its cited homepage documents no managed attribution. It also documents no custody workflow. Its extension serves narrower browsing needs.
Choose the required Silo job first. Then compare deployment, retention, evidence, attribution, and policy. Do not merge these requirements casually.
The short version
Separate individual browsing from enterprise operations.
Free for 30 days. No card required. $10 a month, or $100 a year.
Identify the Silo job first.
Authentic8 uses Silo across several contexts. Current marketing centers Silo Workspace. That product supports digital investigation teams. It combines browsing with additional applications.
Official support pages still reference Safe Access. That job focuses controlled workforce browsing. Current Workspace includes Silo for Research. Its workflows emphasize investigation and attribution.
The cited homepage overlaps at isolated browsing. Its extension offers Ghost and Shield modes. Shield opens pages in remote isolated browsers. Ghost changes the browser's route.
These published scopes are not equivalent. The cited homepage documents no managed attribution. It also documents no custody workflow. It establishes no centralized Silo governance.

Map the documented product scopes.
Current Authentic8 pages require careful reading. Silo Workspace receives current pricing and focus. The product catalog lists several access products. Support pages still reference Safe Access.
Those materials establish distinct operating jobs. They do not fully explain current packaging relationships. Safe Access availability within current Workspace tiers remains unclear. That unknown belongs in procurement questions.
| Factor | Documented scope | Published job | Procurement treatment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Silo Workspace | Unified workspace for digital investigations. | Includes browsers, applications, and team controls. | Evaluate complete investigation operations. |
| Silo for Research | Research browsing supports managed attribution workflows. | Persistence can follow configured shortcuts. | Evaluate identity, state, and evidence. |
| Silo for Safe Access | An official support page documents access policies. | Current support still names Safe Access. | Evaluate enterprise access requirements separately. |
| Legba extension | Ghost routes the local browser. | Shield opens a remote isolated browser. | Evaluate individual browsing outcomes only. |
| Current packaging | Workspace pricing is currently public. | Safe Access packaging remains unclear. | Confirm entitlements directly before purchase. |

Use a job-specific procurement matrix.
Feature totals hide the largest differences. An investigation workspace needs operational continuity. Safe workforce access needs centralized policy. Individual privacy browsing needs fewer enterprise layers.
The wrong comparison creates hidden loss. Teams can lose attribution consistency. They can also lose evidence continuity. Workforce deployments can lose required policy enforcement.
| Factor | Required outcome | Authentic8 evidence | Legba fit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Managed attribution | Workspace documents managed attribution infrastructure. | The cited homepage documents no equivalent program. | Keep Authentic8 when required. |
| Evidence custody | Workspace documents capture and audit workflows. | The cited homepage documents no custody tooling. | Keep Authentic8 when required. |
| Central policy | Safe Access documents centralized browser policies. | The cited homepage documents no matching administration. | Treat products as non-equivalent. |
| Secure application workspace | Authentic8 combines browsers and approved applications. | Legba remains a browser extension. | Workspace replacement requires another platform. |
| Focused isolated browsing | Both products overlap conceptually here. | Legba exposes two extension modes. | Validate the narrower job directly. |
Required outcomes should control vendor selection.

Protect attribution and custody requirements.
Silo Workspace documents managed attribution features. Teams can choose many egress locations. Configurable browser profiles support different identities. Persistent or single-use data modes are available.
The workspace also supports evidence capture. Authentic8 describes encrypted storage and audit trails. Case management connects work across investigators. These features extend beyond remote browsing.
Custody requirements need written controls. Define who captures each artifact. Define allowed edits and exports. Define retention and reviewer access.
Legba should not enter this checklist equally. Its cited homepage establishes no enterprise parity. The Shield description establishes no case management. The Ghost description establishes no custody.
- Document each attribution profile owner.
- Record approved egress requirements.
- Define evidence capture procedures.
- Preserve artifact access history.
- Set case retention rules.
- Test reviewer export controls.
Specify browser persistence precisely.
Silo for Research supports optional persistence. A configured shortcut controls saved browser information. Saved categories include history and site data. Sign-in data and autofill can persist.
Authentic8 still removes cached content. Potentially malicious files also remain excluded. Persistence therefore does not mean complete browser preservation. Buyers should document every required state category.
Different Silo contexts handle state differently. Safe Access cookie behavior has separate documentation. Workspace supports persistent and single-use choices. Do not generalize one setting across products.
Legba's cited page describes isolated sessions. It documents no equivalent persistence controls. That gap may block recurring authenticated workflows. Confirm the exact requirement before migration.

Account for enterprise deployment work.
Safe Access supports web and installed clients. The web client uses supported local browsers. A synchronization tool imports Active Directory users. Central policy remains documented.
Current Workspace materials emphasize team administration. Marketplace controls let administrators govern applications and extensions. Approval and blocking workflows are documented. Marketplace actions also receive audit visibility.
Those controls create setup obligations. Teams need identity ownership and policy design. They also need support procedures. Browser access alone cannot replace that work.
Legba's cited extension targets a smaller scope. Its homepage documents no SAML administration. It documents no directory synchronization. Enterprise replacement claims would be misleading.
- 01
Assign identity ownership.
Document directories, federation, roles, and offboarding responsibilities.
- 02
Map deployment channels.
Record web, installed, and extension requirements.
- 03
Define application governance.
Set approval, blocking, auditing, and exception procedures.
- 04
Validate support operations.
Test enrollment, recovery, updates, and access removal.

Compare current Workspace pricing carefully.
Authentic8 currently prices Silo Workspace annually. Local costs fourteen hundred fifty dollars per user. Multi-Region costs twenty-four hundred fifty dollars. Global costs thirty-four hundred fifty dollars.
Tier differences center attribution coverage. Local includes one selected region. Multi-Region includes two selected regions. Global includes all listed regions.
Authentic8 also lists a thirty-day trial. The trial includes limited egress nodes. The pricing page says every paid tier includes Workspace. Enterprise options require separate discussion.
These sources do not establish Safe Access pricing. Legba agent pricing is irrelevant here. Extension economics do not prove enterprise replacement. Compare total operating requirements instead.
| Factor | Annual user price | Attribution coverage |
|---|---|---|
| Local | Fourteen hundred fifty dollars | One selected region |
| Multi-Region | Twenty-four hundred fifty dollars | Two selected regions |
| Global | Thirty-four hundred fifty dollars | All listed regions |

Choose the smallest truthful comparison.
Keep Authentic8 for investigation operations. Managed attribution remains a documented strength. Evidence capture and custody also matter. Team governance supports coordinated research.
Keep Safe Access requirements separate. Central policy and identity integration require evidence. The cited homepage establishes no equivalent enterprise layer. Cost alone cannot erase those needs.
Evaluate Legba for focused browser use. Ghost changes the browser route. Shield moves page execution off device. Those outcomes address a narrower personal workflow.
Start with one low-risk workflow. Remove enterprise requirements from that test. Document every lost Silo control. Expand only after stakeholders approve differences.
- 01
Name the Silo product.
Separate Workspace, Research, and Safe Access requirements.
- 02
Mark mandatory enterprise controls.
Include attribution, custody, identity, policy, and governance.
- 03
Select one narrow workflow.
Test only where enterprise dependencies remain unnecessary.
- 04
Record every control difference.
Require owners to accept each documented gap.
