# Getting Started
|
||
|
||
This section walks through how to get started with Boundary. You’ll learn how
|
||
Boundary provides secure access to private endpoints.
|
||
|
||
There are three options to get started with Boundary:
|
||
|
||
- **HCP Boundary** is a managed offering of the Boundary product, and is the
|
||
easiest way to get started. It streamlines deployment and operations, and is
|
||
available as a freemium service. HCP Boundary allows users to run their own
|
||
worker proxies, preventing exposure of your network to HashiCorp or clients.
|
||
HCP Boundary has features that are not available in the open source version of the product, as well as support.
|
||
It has full feature-parity with Boundary Enterprise.
|
||
Review the [Get
|
||
started with HCP Boundary](/boundary/docs/getting-started/deploy-and-login) section to
|
||
learn more.
|
||
- **Boundary Enterprise** is a customer-hosted offering of Boundary with Enterprise support.
|
||
It has full feature-parity with HCP Boundary.
|
||
The Enterprise version is self-managed in your environment, making it the perfect choice for agencies that are not able to use SaaS products for compliance or regulatory reasons.
|
||
The [Install Boundary](/boundary/docs/install-boundary) section can help you build a self-managed production environment using Boundary Enterprise.
|
||
- **Boundary OSS** is an open source distribution of Boundary that users can run
|
||
in their own environments. The [Dev Mode quick start](/boundary/docs/oss/installing/dev-mode) section discusses running Boundary
|
||
in Dev mode on your local machine, allowing you to get started with the OSS distribution quickly.
|
||
|
||
We recommend you use the Boundary model that best meets your intended use case.
|
||
If you’re not sure what’s best for you, we recommend reviewing the [Getting
|
||
started with HCP Boundary](/boundary/docs/getting-started/deploy-and-login) section.
