Enables us to easily see users' device compliance as it continuously monitors the devices
Security is much better than the service that we were using before. The dashboard is much more user-friendly. It is easy to add users. I can easily see users' device compliance as it continuously monitors the devices. The speed of the connections is excellent. We have two gateways set up, one for the East Coast US and one for the West Coast. Both have excellent speed and the GoodAccess team allowed us to test several gateways to determine which worked best for us prior to locking in the gateways. With the prior service, the speed was so slow that users could not work while connected.

Designs subnets with high security while navigating evolving integration processes
The primary function of Azure VPN Gateway allows for designing subnets from existing networks, whether they are physical or virtual networks within Azure or other cloud instances. You can configure these networks using IP numbers and connect them using certificates or SaaS strings. It also requires Entra ID for privileged access groups, resulting in high security.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The task of managing security and auditing for unauthorized entries has been substantially diminished."
"Static IP Addresses with multiple gateway options per team allow us to set up different teams with different network accesses."
"GoodAccess simplified our infrastructure and how we interact with clients."
"It has become an integral part of our remote work toolkit, as it enables us to overcome USA IP restrictions, ensuring our global teams can collaborate effectively."
"The dashboard is pretty sleek and complete."
"GoodAccess has significantly improved security in our organization."
"Their user interface is intuitive as it is easy to navigate."
"The most valuable aspects of the solution are the static IP and speed."
"I rate the product ten out of ten."
"The scalability is a highly valued feature."
"The side-to-side connections are valuable."
"The best feature is the ability to connect from anywhere."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Azure VPN Gateway is its performance. It is very fast."
"It sends us a lot of detections when we have any anti-virus updates. It provides the extended time needed to update a set of time needs and notifications."
"The interoperability with various firewall and access gateway vendors is one of this solution's most valuable features"
"One of the most valuable features is its support for various protocols, including BGP, which helps in making more secure connections."
 

Cons

"Their recent revision in pricing was a jolt. Though any business understands the need for periodic pricing evaluations, a clearer communication strategy and more gradual changes might have been more palatable for long-term clients like us."
"The interface information could show more information about how threats have occurred. Right now, it only shows basic threat information."
"I've found some bugs."
"We are having a problem with accessing Microsoft Copilot while connected. GoodAccess is working on the issue, but fixing this will be a help to us. There is nothing else at the moment that we need to have improved for our usage."
"Adding one user at a time to the package as compared to blocks of five would be helpful. Currently, we end up with empty seats on our plans."
"Currently, the pricing structure is functional yet could benefit from more refined scalability calculations."
"It would be useful to see the weekly usage information within the program itself and a dashboard for all usage data."
"The interface could provide more extensive information regarding the occurrence of threats. Currently, it only displays rudimentary threat data."
"In future releases, I would like to see the ability to inject BGP routes."
"The price of the solution should be more affordable"
"In the next release, Microsoft should add an option to schedule upgrades."
"The monitoring part needs to 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."
"The instructions should have been more accessible and less time-consuming to find the best solution tailored for the customer."
"I would like to see improvements in the deployment process as I faced challenges."
"Documentation and configuration settings can be improved."
