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.

Offers advanced security features and is easy to install
The product's feature to secure remote access needs is an area that is looked after by the IT team in our company. I work in a healthcare organization where we need to protect certain private information. My organization does not focus on network or database protection. I know about the VPN encryption in the tool. My company has not faced any problems with the product's performance, speed, and connectivity. Performance-wise, my company is satisfied with the product. I will tell those who plan to purchase the product that they need to look at the level of security or encryption they expect for their environment. If there is a requirement for the different networks in the domain of those who planned to purchase the product to be isolated, then it should be done. I rate the overall tool a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The dashboard is pretty sleek and complete."
"My advice to others looking into using GoodAccess is that simplicity of use and ease of administrative metrics make it a top-notch opportunity for any SOC team or administrative role to employ this tool for all of their downstream customers."
"This simple, stable, affordable VPN solution scaled with us over the first year of use, allowing for an expansion of remote/hybrid workers to remotely access key systems otherwise restricted to our internal office network."
"GoodAccess offers a very available professional support service - it can be via chat service, email, or phone."
"GoodAccess VPN has brought a transformative shift to our organization, notably enhancing collaboration and enabling seamless remote work."
"No extra hardware is needed, and it is very easy to set up"
"The solution's robustness has meant that our team, regardless of where they're located, feels as though they're working right from the office, having secure and quick access to all essential tools."
"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 best features are security and ease of use."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the advanced security features it offers."
 

Cons

"The installable app's occasional bugs have caused disruptions for some users, impacting smooth usage."
"They need to provide a more comprehensive app that shows more data that appears on the GoodAccess site."
"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."
"There is one minor drawback to mention: occasionally, the Internet connection tends to slow down noticeably while using the VPN."
"It would be useful to see the weekly usage information within the program itself and a dashboard for all usage data."
"The interface information could show more information about how threats have occurred. Right now, it only shows basic threat information."
"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."
"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."
"An improvement would be to update the look and feel of the interface, which is very traditional and doesn't fit the current market trend."
"The product's configuration, administration, and user interface are areas of concern."
