Great when it works, terrible when it doesn't
What do you like best about the product?
Nordlayer is quite simple to setup and use. The user UI is simple, and small features such as Auto Login and Sign in with Gmail, make the user experience smooth.
There are plenty of countries to choose from, and setting up static reserved IP was quite easy.

What do you dislike about the product?
If you plan on doing slightly more complicated VPN configuration such as split tunneling, I would definitely look for another solution.
1. While the admin console might look like you'd be able to configure and set your split tunnel configurations, you, actually cannot. It's just a text box to send an email to request the configuration, and once it's live, you can't see it in the admin console.
2. When you do make such a request, you get a 24 hour SLA, but there is no way to know if and when exactly the cutover will happen.
3. If you do end up needing to rollback, you will again, need to talk to support, who will request a senior engineer, and they will not give you an SLA to remove the configuration.
4. While navigating this maze with support, I was blatantly attempted to be upsold for services (Cloud Lan) that had nothing to do with my split tunnel configuration.

Good but not perfect
What do you like best about the product?
Makes me feel more secure online. Also needed for cyber security accreditation.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes I have to switch countries to get the connection to work. The internet connection is lost and I had to work out that a work around is to switch countries but that has other effects like ads in a foreign language (that's not bad though, less annoying when you can't understand them!)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Enabled us to get cyber essentials certification
Good all round, straightforward to get working for everyone in the team.

Feels like it's designed for companies/developers - linux support is great and needed to support developers, but everything else is really easy to use.

Pricing seems slightly more than I would expect - especially for dedicated servers.

Location
Simple and easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
Simplicity to add and remember members and distribute licenses between team members. Very straight forward to setup and when i did have a snack customer support hooked me up in a few minutes with a resolution. We use it practically every day on the sepcific project we bought it for.
What do you dislike about the product?
I couldn't assign a Static IP to just ONE member.

It allows us (in South Africa) to work with US clients without them needing to adjust their GeoFencing rules.
