Best solution for secure remote system access
What do you like best about the product?
Fine and centralized profile assignement of ACL. It's easy to have a single view of access rules. We integrate Twingate with our existing Linux based server infrastructure very easily.
What do you dislike about the product?
We don't like the inability to activate an account outside the linked user directory. At the moment only one user directory can be linked (es: Google or Okta) and we cannot add an external people and give him access to a specif internal system, typical case when a contractor is working with us. Creating a "fake user" (or a generic proxy user) on the Directory doesn't seems a good option for us. Missing integration with Jumpcloud Cloud directory System.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving the problem to access from "insecure" network our internal systems, having a full control of who access what. Over an internal or extenal VPN access we have better control of resource definitions: IP and ports and who can access it. A complete access logging log makes accounting and reporting very easy.
Modern Tunnelling Solution
What do you like best about the product?
Tool itself. The level of control it provides is fantastic.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would say the APIs for user management.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are creating a secure channel to access our dev environment.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Looking for a solution that provides more than VPN. Just go with Twingate
Twingate is sleek and user-friendly, setup can be done no time.
What do you like best about the product?
A smart feature called split tunneling assures secured and optimal usage of the network.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are no dislikes. I would request more customizable settings at the web admin panel for controlling the client view and behavior. Admin UI improvements for easy CRUD functions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Twingate is fast and secure, it has simplified our onboarding and reduced provisioning/de-provisioning timelines significantly. The ability to automate and implement things on the fly will also be key for building robust tooling for faster delivery and support.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Twingate is a breakthrough solution for any company targeting remote work. With twingate, you can rapidly enable governance and security in no time.
Best VPN/Tunnelling Software in market
What do you like best about the product?
Twingate only tunnels the traffic which is needed to go via the private network and rest all goes as it is. It doesnt throttle or route your whole network like other providers
What do you dislike about the product?
As of now I feel theres only one issue and thats sometimes twingate automatically disconnects and we have to exit the application and reconnect . Might be a minor issue
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are protecting our internal resources and sharing access tos pecific org or individuals with twingate .
Quick, easy and simple way to deploy a VPN/Zero Trust.
What do you like best about the product?
How quick and easy it is to deploy when we have updated networks.
What do you dislike about the product?
The fact it doesn't fully support determining the device stature.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Allowing my employees to connect to infrastructure resources that are on private networks. It replaced our old fashioned VPN.
Lightweight in your cloud, but you'll soon make heavy use
What do you like best about the product?
Twingate's connections to your private resources are speedy from a user perspective, and they're super light on the cloud resources needed to host those users. At The Pill Club, we run 400+ users with less than a full CPU and about 2GB of RAM. Once it becomes this easy to get your users access to the things they need, with no inbound connections, you'll start using it for things that traditional VPNs could never do. Want to expose just one resource to a vendor? Great: they won't get access to things outside of one internal domain or IP. Want to spin up temporary connectors for ephemeral resources like developer environments? Cool: use the Terraform integration to automate the whole thing. Want to go beyond that with server-to-server communications? They have it. Want to know what's coming next? Get new insight quarterly and a chance to shape the roadmap.
What do you dislike about the product?
You are exposing yourself to the risk that an external service outage can take down services for your users. However, a significant outage has happened only once in our year with Twingate.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're solving the scaling problems with a self-hosted or cloud-purchased VPN - both in terms of how much time we spend administering infrastructure and how confidently we can give users access. The architecture needed is much simpler to provision and monitor, and the decoupling you can achieve between your cloud, on-prem, and hybrid environments is a huge bonus. In addition, our users love how little work it is to connect, and our IT department appreciates the deep security features built into the product like SSO, MFA, and more.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take a look at other solutions to get a feel for the integrations they have, and pay attention to the setup of the resources required in your account. I think you'll find Twingate beats them on pricing and the burden on you as an admin.
Very easy to setup, low upkeep, and low cost compared to VPN solutions.
What do you like best about the product?
It was very easy to set up and get running to secure my VPS as the main firewall solution.
What do you dislike about the product?
Needing two bastion insurance for zero down time is slightly inconvenient but not enough to matter
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Firewall, authentication, VPS security
Great product, responsive support.
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to deploy and manage with low overhead and keeps only business-related traffic on the tunnel, saving backend bandwidth demands. I'm 99% happy with this solution (see my 1% in my dislike).
What do you dislike about the product?
It does not work in a pre-boot situation. Eg, at the time of writing this review, you can not use the software to remotely log a user into a device for the first time when authenticating with a remote Domain controller. A minor inconvenience for sure, but it means I have to have equipment brought to my main facility any time I want to provision a new user on a PC. Their support is aware of the issue and hopefully they will address it in time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The software is great for providing remote access to your LAN resources for team members who are off site.
Everything promised and more
What do you like best about the product?
Twingate is incredibly easy to use and manage. We were set up and going in about a day. Alleviates a lot of risks and with our growing remote workforce, the performance is amazing. SSO setup was easy and the policies we can attach to different network segments makes this product really attractive and definitely recommend. Everyone we have met at Twingate has been amazing.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing was the lack of Arch linux support when we started but the team worked with us to bring support for this very quickly
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We can say we are leveraging a zero trust network access solution, which with all the reports from NIST and standard bodies is what they are recommending to move to, so we feel like with the help of Twingate are ahead of the curve
Great service!
What do you like best about the product?
Twingate is incredibly easy to use and manage. Adding resource networks takes seconds in their interface, and connectors are extremely easy to set up in just a few minutes. I like that you can have multiple connectors on the same network for redundancy, and it is compatible with SSO. Every time I have reached out to their support staff, they have responded quickly, and have always been helpful.
I'm not sure I could ever go back to a standard VPN for users after using this service.
I'm not sure I could ever go back to a standard VPN for users after using this service.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish Twingate offered the ability to connect site to site, but even without that, it has made my life easier.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Integration with SSO has made user management easier. I also don't feel like I have to worry about remote connections going down when using Twingate compared to a traditional VPN.
