Good product, but unreliable business practices and pricing.
What do you like best about the product?
The core products (NordPass/NordLayer) are technically advanced and very reliable in daily use. The user interface is intuitive, which simplifies onboarding for new employees. The central management via the control panel is also clearly structured and easy to use. The security features meet high standards.
What do you dislike about the product?
The business practices and pricing are the biggest disadvantage. We entered into a multi-year contract with an agreed discount per license. When we wanted to add more licenses, Nord Security refused to grant this price, calling their own written offer "expired." This breaks trust and makes long-term budget planning impossible. For growing companies expecting a reliable partnership, this non-transparent approach is a significant risk.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
VPN und andere Cybersicherheitsprodukte werden für unsere Sicherheitsarchitektur benötigt. NordLayer löst sie gut.
NordLayer Review: Secure Business VPN for Modern Teams
What do you like best about the product?
Nordlayers settings are straightforward and very easy to configure. You will just need common sense a little bit of knowledge to configure it.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are so many settings that are not accessible to a Team Admin role. You are a "Team Admin" but youre limited to doing user management. I wish they could fix that. Also they team admins and owners cant reset MFA. You'll have to delete the user to reset it which doesnt make sense cause you'll have to setup name and password all over again
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We primarily use this for Zero Trust purposes. Some of our resources within our SSO are only accessible when connected to the VPN, since access is restricted to the private server IP address provided by Nord.
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.

Security for company infomation
Good level of security

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.
What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
Pricing seems slightly more than I would expect - especially for dedicated servers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We need to ensure our data is protected when traveling
Great VPN services and easy to use!
