Tailscale Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
DevOps Engineer at CloudKite.io4.0I use Tailscale for secure, flexible access to client Kubernetes clusters and hybrid cloud environments, valuing its stability and time-saving benefits over traditional VPNs. My key concerns are the login issues when switching between multiple tailnets, the ACL format, and its higher price for smaller teams.
System Engineer at a healthcare company with 11-50 employees4.0I find Tailscale excellent for secure, zero-trust remote access, greatly simplifying operations and reducing VPN overhead. Its setup is easy, but I wish for better enterprise visibility, monitoring, and more flexible pricing.
Software Engineer at Psycontech4.0I use Tailscale for secure, GDPR-compliant internal system access and GitHub Actions CI/CD. It's easy, stable, and scalable, speeding development. My only suggestion is native cloud integration, though it abstracts network complexities well.
DevOps Engineer at CloudKite.io4.0I use Tailscale for secure internal access and whitelisting via strong, fast ACLs, which greatly aids my remote team's security. Login challenges and JSON ACLs need improvement, but it's stable with great support and good ROI, though costly.
Freelance Web Developer and IT Support Specialist at a tech services company with 1-10 employees4.0I use Tailscale for easy, secure remote access to my home lab across all devices. Its simple setup, great features like Exit Nodes and MagicDNS, and stability make it preferred over WireGuard. The free tier is excellent, saving me significant time.
Infrastructure Lead & Student Developer (also Head of Ops - FOSSCET) at College of Engineering Trivandrum4.5I use Tailscale for secure mesh networking, leveraging NAT traversal, MagicDNS, and exit nodes. It simplifies personal and corporate VPNs, enabling rapid prototyping and saving costs. While stable and easy, I'd appreciate a packet flow visualization.
Devops Engineer at Allenta4.5I value Tailscale for secure, simple telework access to our internal data center, replacing complex VPNs like OpenVPN. Its cross-platform compatibility, easy ACLs, and significant time-saving benefits are great, but I hope beta WAN speeds improve.
Software engineer4.5I use Tailscale extensively for my home lab and work, loving its Zero Trust features, file sharing, and secure access to self-hosted services. The free tier and Mullvad integration are great. However, control server speed and Linux UI support need improvement.
