"It's an ideal gateway solution for small and medium businesses, i.e., around 300 devices can be easily handled."
"GoodAccess VPN has brought a transformative shift to our organization, notably enhancing collaboration and enabling seamless remote work."
"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."
"The dashboard is pretty sleek and complete."
"The most valuable aspects of the solution are the static IP and speed."
"The solution has easy-to-use administration and offers an easy implementation."
"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."
"No extra hardware is needed, and it is very easy to set up"
"Static IP Addresses with multiple gateway options per team allow us to set up different teams with different network accesses."
"It allows us to work remotely."
"The solution provides high availability."
"I found nothing of value in this solution."
"One of the most valuable features of SonicWall Netextender is the integration of VPN accounts with Microsoft Identity Management, which enables us to enforce secure access through Microsoft Intune and conditional access policies. This helps ensure that only authorized individuals are able to access the VPN, rather than anyone with knowledge of a password."
"Employees can have access to the network from home."
"The product has two-factor authentication."
"My company opted for this solution because it can individually perform. Basically, we don't require load balancers and all those additional feature sets or additional devices that might be required. The solution can handle the certificate, DNS queries, and all that stuff individually."
"The most valuable feature for the Netextender is the ease with which we can integrate it with SAML."
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."
"There could be a better view of which type of communication is going through the system."
"It is worth mentioning that we do experience disconnects on rare occasions."
"I've found some bugs."
"The installable app's occasional bugs have caused disruptions for some users, impacting smooth usage."
"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 product could improve by extending its chat support beyond 8-5 CET, Monday to Friday, to a 24/7 service for better accessibility and immediate assistance."
"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."
"Currently, the pricing structure is functional yet could benefit from more refined scalability calculations."
"The initial setup of SonicWall Netextender is straightforward. The only issue we encountered was with relocating the VPN appliance. If we needed to move it from an on-premise to an on-cloud architecture, we had to start over and redeploy it from scratch. Unfortunately, it is not portable and any changes to its physical location often result in the need for a fresh deployment to ensure everything functions properly."
"There must be a multi-factor authentication enabled or integrated by default with it in order to be integrated with NetExtender."
"The product does not work well."
"The only concern I do have is with the zero trust, and the solution is not coping with the newer technologies as much as it needs to do on that particular factor."
"They need to rewrite the software to make it a usable product."
"The Netextender application itself doesn't really look pretty, however, we can still use it. We don't care what it looks like. That said, if they did a cosmetic update, that would be fine."
"The solution takes up a lot of bandwidth."
"The UI could be a little better."
