Centralized access control has strengthened secure remote work and simplified admin oversight
GoodAccess acts as our virtual private network host, as well as part of my endpoint security, network profiling, and dashboard integrations in my daily work. GoodAccess has made ease and use a staple part of the profile that I have. As an administrator with the rights, the gateways and the connection history, as well as data packets and traffic encrypted details, really support my efforts to maintain a secure network. The best features GoodAccess offers include multiple and various concise gateways that are maintained by an excellent team, and it seems to me that I have almost no reduction or latency in operations from servers to endpoints to mobile use. Gateway management, which is part of the package that was purchased, certainly stands out for me as it is easy and convenient to hit West Coast, East Coast, and multiple global hotspots for our entire dev team. Additionally, the low latency really makes a difference in push and pull for data packets, large transfers, and a lot of our video teleconferencing. GoodAccess has positively impacted my organization through the price point, the ease of use, the service and account management team, as well as some of the supplemental training opportunities and the long list of available files and referenceable traffic data, which really helps me maintain a secure network.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"No extra hardware is needed, and it is very easy to set up"
"GoodAccess was the only hosted VPN solution we found for a reasonable cost that allowed us to establish a site-to-site VPN network for hundreds of locations across the country."
"GoodAccess is allowing us to give first-hand support and access to critical client systems, in a secure way."
"Their user interface is intuitive as it is easy to navigate."
"Access control allows us to manage permissions efficiently, ensuring secure and tailored access."
"The solution has easy-to-use administration and offers an easy implementation."
"The task of managing security and auditing for unauthorized entries has been substantially diminished."
"The most valuable aspects of the solution are the static IP and speed."
"Sangfor SSL VPN has a user-friendly user interface."
"The most valuable feature is our ability to limit access by user, IP address, or MAC address."

Cons

"This past year, I did not like having to purchase an upgrade to a plan with a minimum number of seats to get the features we needed. We do not use all of the seats."
"GoodAccess can be improved by providing more editable options on the admin side. I would like to see more options and more granular controls for users who know what they are doing as an administrator."
"The price tier is not suited for small teams."
"The interface could provide more extensive information regarding the occurrence of threats. Currently, it only displays rudimentary threat data."
"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."
"For small organizations, it works great. However, the larger the organization, the more scalable the pricing model, the better, since gateways can be very expensive if an organization needs multiple gateways."
"There is one minor drawback to mention: occasionally, the Internet connection tends to slow down noticeably while using the VPN."
"The latest upgrade to the Windows version of the app (unconfirmed on the Mac client) adds some unnecessary stylized animation to the GUI."
"Sangfor SSL VPN should provide advanced protection against ransomware and better data analysis."
"The solution's integration with other firewall vendors could be improved."
"The technical support team takes around two months to respond to queries. It is very time-consuming."
"No solution is perfect, so there is room for improvement."
"I think Sangfor can provide a web-based SSL VPN version."
"In redundancy mode, when the firewall goes off, the VPN should be able to connect to the secondary firewall automatically."
