Secure data links from on-premise sources have enabled private access to client databases
The best feature of Microsoft Azure VPN Gateway is its sophisticated security mechanism for transmitting data between on-premise to Azure or Azure to Azure. The process of building the VPN gateway is user-friendly, making it easy to configure. Additionally, it supports various options to establish connections between on-premise to Azure or other sources to targets. Using pfSense as a firewall and VPN at our on-premise allows us to establish connections between Microsoft Azure VPN Gateway and our on-premise pfSense VPN easily. This streamlined connection process occurs within a few steps. Microsoft Azure VPN Gateway has positively impacted our organization because it is core to our system and crucial for establishing private connections to our customer's data sources. Their databases lie in a private network with no communication with the outside world. Our customers trust Microsoft Azure VPN Gateway, and by extension, trust us because of this efficient networking establishment process.

Efficient technical support with good synchronization features, but it needs better security
We would like to be to secure access to all of the servers for all of the internal workers and engineers. We would like to have tools that provide us with security for our servers. I would like to see an improved repository to better see the users. We have a new project that requires a lot of security we will not continue with SecureLink. The security features offered in SecureLink are not enough.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I would definitely recommend this solution because it is very easy to deploy and very stable."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"The side-to-side connections are valuable."
"I like the stability, HA, and performance of the product."
"It sends us a lot of detections when we have any anti-virus updates. It provides the extended time needed to update a set of time needs and notifications."
"Security is the first feature in Microsoft Azure VPN Gateway because we don't have to go through the public internet to access things."
"All of our offices are using Microsoft Azure VPN Gateway. The solution is scalable."
"The scalability is a highly valued feature."
"Technical support is very efficient and very supportive."
"The most valuable feature is synchronizing the limited access for partners or sub-contractors."
 

Cons

"My advice is to only use it if absolutely necessary. If you have the option, don't."
"There is a need to improve the paperwork and management approval process, which is currently painful, though not directly related to the VPN Gateway itself."
"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."
"The monitoring part needs to be improved."
"I would like to see improvements in the deployment process as I faced challenges."
"Regarding pricing for Microsoft Azure VPN Gateway, it could be more cost-effective."
"Make it completely routable, for example, if I have a gateway, I should be able to connect to whatever network I want on either side of the gateway, and the gateway should figure out which packet goes where."
"The cost could be lower."
"The security features offered in SecureLink are not enough."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The costs are quite high."
"The product costs us $140 to $180 per month."
"The cost could be lower."
"It's saved us money compared to getting a third-party appliance."
"There is a monthly license and the price depends on how many users are using Microsoft Azure VPN Gateway. The price could be less expensive."
"Microsoft Azure VPN Gateway is the cheapest way for us to connect to our cloud infrastructure. Other solutions, such as ExpressRoute are very expensive."
"The software has good pricing compared to other vendors."
"Its price is reasonable for new technology."
"We are not happy with the recent increase in the price."
