Pros
"The solution has good performance.""It's an ideal gateway solution for small and medium businesses, i.e., around 300 devices can be easily handled."

More Netgate TNSR Pros →

"The point-to-site is pretty good for the B2C stuff. It's fairly straightforward to set up.""It is scalable and depends on your chosen network bandwidth.""The solution is very quick to connect.""The most valuable feature is the networking. I didn't have a good experience with the networking that Sophos has.""The side-to-side connections are valuable.""It is a stable solution in our company, and we monitor critical health and performance parameters daily and weekly.""The interoperability with various firewall and access gateway vendors is one of this solution's most valuable features""The Azure tool is useful and powerful and availability for clients. The updates are very good and reliable."

More Microsoft Azure VPN Gateway Pros →

"The solution is convenient and easy."

More NordLayer Pros →

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

More Netgate TNSR Cons →

"The marketing material in the portal is not very user-friendly.""Documentation and configuration settings can be improved.""In the next release, Microsoft should add an option to schedule upgrades.""Microsoft could work on having micro VPNs to integrate with mobile devices.""Microsoft Azure VPN Gateway could improve by providing IPS zero-day threat protection. For example, the IPS zero-day threat protection can monitor the user behavior to protect the infrastructure. The solution can only be used as a VPN, it is lacking features.""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.""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."
