Menlo Security report card
Weak · out of 4.0 · graded Nov 13, 2026
Best for company browser security through an extension
Menlo Security sells browser security to organizations, with an extension called Menlo IRIS and cloud protection for higher-risk users. Prices are quoted by product and user count, and add-ons cost extra.
Who Menlo Security is for
- Fits if your company wants browser protection added to the browsers staff already use
- Makes sense if you have higher-risk users who need cloud-based protection
Who Menlo Security is not for
- Skip it if you want a posted price: only a budget estimate and a sales quote exist
- Not for you if you want something free to try, as no plan or trial is listed
- Pricey if you add features: HEAT Shield AI and file sanitization cost extra
- Watch out: Protect, Secure and Manage are priced separately
- Too heavy for one person: it is sold to organizations by user license
Why Menlo Security gets a 1.6
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyNo price is published. Menlo quotes by the products deployed and the number of user licenses, and a pricing tool gives only a budget estimate.
- FFree plan and trialNothing is free, and no trial is listed. The way in is a self-service estimate or a sales quote.
- CFeaturesAn extension plus cloud isolation and AI agent security, but Protect, Secure and Manage are priced separately and add-ons cost extra.
- CEase of useNo rating on record. It is rolled out by an organization and set up with admin controls.
- CPlatforms and integrationsWeb and a browser extension only, with no apps and no integrations listed.

Keep Menlo Security, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Menlo Security you would be making a web browser. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 58 of the 60 other browsers grade higher.
What you could not
- A web browser.
- An engine that recognises new malware as it appears.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Menlo Security’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is Menlo Security?
Menlo Security sells a browser security platform for organizations that combines controls inside the user's own browser through the Menlo IRIS extension with cloud-based protection for higher-risk users. It also covers AI agents that use the web. Pricing is quoted per deployment, and the vendor says it depends on the products deployed and the number of user licenses.
Worth knowing
- No prices are published: Menlo quotes by the products deployed and the number of user licenses.
- A self-service pricing tool gives a budget estimate, and a custom quote comes through sales.
- Products such as Protect, Secure and Manage are priced separately, and add-ons like HEAT Shield AI and file sanitization cost extra.
Key features
- Hybrid architecture
- Menlo says it combines local in-browser controls with cloud-based protection, and admins can send high-risk locations or users to cloud-based protection.
- Menlo IRIS extension
- A browser extension adds data and file security, web governance and an inventory of installed extensions with risk scores to browsers already in use.
- Add-on threat protection
- Add-ons cover zero-day phishing protection (HEAT Shield AI) and file sanitization through content disarm and reconstruction.
- AI agent security
- The platform applies policies to AI agents browsing the web alongside human users and helps agents reach web applications that lack APIs.
- Secure enterprise browser
- Menlo lists a secure enterprise browser, remote browser isolation and secure extension among its products.
