Best solution for POC
What do you like best about the product?
Ability to quickly tunnel local host to the internet allows for easy showcase of different proof of concepts
What do you dislike about the product?
The support for routing to custom domains is very complex
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sometimes we are not sure if a solution is viable or not. So, we have to make proof of concepts for it that needed to be deployed on cloud solutions or we had to do complex network management for exposing ports, ngrok eases this in one line.

[AVOID] No support and the you cannot remove credit card or cancel subscriptions on your own
What do you like best about the product?
free version is okay, quick and easy to use, but of course, you are limited with the bandwidth and the ugly URLs.
What do you dislike about the product?
they have a predatory system. this is one of those companies where you cannot remove a credit card or cancel a susbscription even 2 hours after signing up. i signed up thinking custom domains would work, but it didn't. within 2 hours ngrok was contacted for a refund and no one communicated. they seem to want to keep you trapped. please avod this company and do not pay for upgraded services.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
not solving a problem, it created more problems
Experienced the ngrok with the handson experience with the help of credits
What do you like best about the product?
Undeployed can easily deploy with the help of the ngrok software application.
What do you dislike about the product?
If the cost of the service is slightly higher, then I will be very full to deploy the small project. they should include students offering those kinds of plans the it will helpful for easy deployment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Actually, I am a final year student, I want to showcase my project to the interviewer during the interview if it is deployed it will give extra impression to deploy my small and tiny projects i had been using the ngrok website,
Makes local development easy
What do you like best about the product?
Been using Ngrok for around 4-5 years now. The set-up is so easy, that makes for a quick tool to use, with very little thought, when remote access is needed for either reviewing or for 3rd party webhooks, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes things do go wrong, and when they go wrong, they're quite hard to debug. Also, it seems that if you are serving a full web page, there can be time-outs if there are too many requests, even with a paid plan. However, this is definitely in the 1% of the time
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When developing payment gateways, we needed a system that we have local webhooks for payment responses. This tool solved issue and gave us this ability with very little effort
Recommendations to others considering the product:
My recommendation would be to set up a config file from the get-go. It's not hard, but it makes setting up tunnels much much easier
A classic...
What do you like best about the product?
Command line, embeddable. Ease of integration.
What do you dislike about the product?
Scattered a bit, would rather have one control screen.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Provide access to web app running in dev mode on my local machine.
Ngrok Local System Host tool
What do you like best about the product?
We can host our local pc as a Host. That's the best thing about this. Without AWS or GCP account, I can host this.
What do you dislike about the product?
As I have started exploring this tool so right now, I don't have anything which I wouldn't say I dislike.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I was doing POC for the client, and i was able to show him that POC on my ngrok host and the same POC can be accessed by the client on his pc; that's the best part.
Make your dailywork simpler
What do you like best about the product?
I have used Ngrok for more than 5 years. Ngrok has a free plan that is sufficient for time to time integrations. The solution is reliable and fast.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing to dislike, but to have a subdomain address you have to upgrade to a paid plan. Unfortunately, having the free tier cause that ever restarts of the tunnel gives You a new address so You have to update the corresponding configuration
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Thanks to Ngrok I am able to integrate my localhost environment with any 3rd part services without a problem - just like have a public IP address.
Best tool for creating tunnels
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing I liked about ngrok is that a person can create tunnels to his own system using this tool, i.e a person can make his IP: port online via this tool so that he can test out various functionality for the app/tool running in the port.
What do you dislike about the product?
The thing I disliked was that int the free version the URL created was automatically closed in 8 hours. A user should get the option to increase that. Also, the speed of the ngrok connection depends on the user's internet speed, which for me is an issue.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am a full stack developer. So, with ngrok I try to connect my frontend which is online to my local backend for the testing of the API's which I have created for the app since the frontend can't be used offline. Also, I could share the URL to my colleagues so that they can verify the API too. Also, I used it to test the frontend features of a website which cannot be used offline.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ngrok is a great tool for creating tunnel to a person's IP. If you want to securely expose your local web server to the internet and capture all traffic for detailed inspection and replay then this tool is for you, Also, it offers a free trial that can use used by a person for testing purposes. You can test your frontend as well as your backend by creating a tunnel your local system.
Access localhost REMOTELY !!
What do you like best about the product?
Unique concept that links your port to divert your traffic from that port to internet so that it can be accessible anywhere in the world without any range or network constrain.
Just install NGROK, run it on cmd to divert your traffic and all set. Now you anyone can access your that port on internet with specific url.
Its useful to show the client real time progress of your project if you are working on web development without having your customer to visit your place to check the finished work.

What do you dislike about the product?
Your data is EXPOSED. With whole project going live on internet, anyone can access the website.
Also you need to have the source device on with ngrok running on it.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
If you have pc without wifi module and you need to send/receive data from mobile to particular port... say json response from you local offline project to android device which requires to connect both device under same network, this could create problem. With ngrok this restriction is eliminated.
