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

More Netgate TNSR Cons →

"The connectivity should be faster.""They should release a less expensive version of the solution.""Microsoft Azure VPN Gateway could improve by providing IPS zero-day threat protection.

The solution can only be used as a VPN, it is lacking features.""The marketing material in the portal is not very user-friendly.""Documentation and configuration settings can be improved.""In future releases, I would like to see the ability to inject BGP routes.""Their technical support could be better. If you don't have a support contract, it takes longer.""In the next release, Microsoft should add an option to schedule upgrades."

More Microsoft Azure VPN Gateway Cons →

"In redundancy mode, when the firewall goes off, the VPN should be able to connect to the secondary firewall automatically.""No solution is perfect, so there is room for improvement.""Sangfor SSL VPN should provide advanced protection against ransomware and better data analysis.""The technical support team takes around two months to respond to queries. It is very time-consuming.""I think Sangfor can provide a web-based SSL VPN version."

    A VPN gateway is a specific type of virtual network gateway that is used to send encrypted traffic between an Azure virtual network and an on-premises location over the public Internet. You can also use a VPN gateway to send encrypted traffic between Azure virtual networks over the Microsoft network. Each virtual network can have only one VPN gateway. However, you can create multiple connections to the same VPN gateway. When you create multiple connections to the same VPN gateway, all VPN tunnels share the available gateway bandwidth.
