Pros
"It's an ideal gateway solution for small and medium businesses, i.e., around 300 devices can be easily handled.""The solution has good performance."

More Netgate TNSR Pros →

"It is a very stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

More AWS PrivateLink Pros →

"It helps to quickly get access to the pages I need.""Distributing the agent was very simple, allowing us to enforce security posture on our devices (i.e. S1, Disk-encryption, etc.).""Perimeter 81 has increased my security and privacy while maintaining solid internet performance.""Providing access and security allows our company employees to work from home and remotely.""Logging back into Perimeter 81 is relatively user-friendly as I just need to re-type my Windows credentials in to access the VPN.""Their split tunneling feature has been very valuable to our company since implementing the Perimeter 81 solution.""Our operators can work from home without any problems.""It has provided a seamless gateway to much-needed platforms."

Cons
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."

More Netgate TNSR Cons →

"Security is an area of concern in the product where the solution needs to improve."

More AWS PrivateLink Cons →

"I'd love to learn more about all of the features. Maybe a monthly spotlight of features or having a banner that explains more ways certain features could be used would be helpful.""I don't know if it is technically feasible, however, if the Desktop App could be used as a Web App or a Chrome Extension it would be very nice.""In order to have to bypass the login using the website, a good feature for Perimeter 81 to have is a login instance in the Perimeter 81 application. I'm using a Mac and we don't have that functionality.""There is a very small amount of downtime.""What would be useful would be a notification/warning that a session is due to timeout after exceeding the default connection limit.""It would be nice to have a notification sound when Perimeter81 disconnects, as I sometimes don't notice when the icon shows that it's disconnected, and I end up wasting time waiting for my browser to load a page that shows an error, usually error 404.""The platform still lacks relevant dashboards and the ability to customize them based on our needs.""One of our challenges is ensuring the security of our cloud-based operations."
