Cloud-based VPNs recommendations?

Looking for some input on cloud-based VPNs. I'm working with a healthcare-related entity that is looking for a cloud-based VPN. It will be used to provide access to a web-based SaaS. The VPN is needed to give all users a static IP to come from since the web app uses a IP whitelist to access it. The VPN client also needs to support split-tunneling so local network devices/resources can be accessed, if needed. Would prefer the split-tunneling to make use of FQDNs for tunneling rather than just IPs. Total user count will be about 50 users. The company is cloud-based, so there is no on-prem equipment and the users are spread out working from either home or shared office space.

So far I've looked at:

Palo Alto Prisma Access - Would fit, but requires a minimum of 200 user licenses. $$$

Palo Alto VM-series firewall in Azure - No idea what cost would be since I don't have a frame of reference on what Azure costs would be.

NordVPN - Doesn't support split-tunneling per their representative

ZScaler - pending a call with a sales guy

Perimeter81 - Never heard of these guys, but was refered to by NordVPN

Are there any other good VPN providers out there?

Edit: Would prefer stuff based on Azure if it's a solution that needs to be hosted. Just because the company uses Azure/O365 and it would be nice to contain everything there.
