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 →

More Barracuda SSL VPN Pros →

"The product has valuable virtual machines, viability options, and enhanced VPN services, enabling the option to use it in different zones.""It is scalable and depends on your chosen network bandwidth.""It is a stable solution in our company, and we monitor critical health and performance parameters daily and weekly.""The most valuable feature is the networking. I didn't have a good experience with the networking that Sophos has.""The ability to connect old protocols like Border Gateway Protocol is valuable.""It works perfectly for me. It is very user-friendly in terms of the configuration and the setup process.""The side-to-side connections are valuable.""The most valuable feature of Microsoft Azure VPN Gateway is its performance. It is very fast."

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

More Netgate TNSR Cons →

"There could be more security features included in the product.""Since it's not going to be getting any more software updates as per the end of this year, we have to move off to a different product..""Barracuda should find other ways to stir up interest about this product.""Reporting could be improved."

More Barracuda SSL VPN Cons →

"The product must provide a single sign-on.""In future releases, I would like to see the ability to inject BGP routes.""It isn't stabilized on the first day, and you need to set up the channels properly.""I would like for them to improve the troubleshooting features. We have some problems with traffic and I can't identify where the problem is coming from. I have to open a ticket with support until it gets resolved. Microsoft doesn't offer enough tools to resolve the issue.""Documentation and configuration settings can be improved.""Make it completely routable, for example, if I have a gateway, I should be able to connect to whatever network I want on either side of the gateway, and the gateway should figure out which packet goes where.""Connectivity could be improved in Microsoft Azure VPN Gateway because it's not as stable, particularly when connecting a device tunnel.""They should release a less expensive version of the solution."

    A VPN gateway is a specific type of virtual network gateway that is used to send encrypted traffic between an Azure virtual network and an on-premises location over the public Internet. You can also use a VPN gateway to send encrypted traffic between Azure virtual networks over the Microsoft network. Each virtual network can have only one VPN gateway. However, you can create multiple connections to the same VPN gateway. When you create multiple connections to the same VPN gateway, all VPN tunnels share the available gateway bandwidth.
