I'd suggest that Perimeter81 is recommended when you want something that is easy to administrate, with little maintenance, unlike a VPN/secure network that you host and manage internally. We've had incidents when there has been downtime at Perimeter81, which has effectively locked us out of some of our secure services (anything locked down via IP). They have made improvements to their infrastructure and it seems to have improved in recent months, but this is something to keep in mind for critical connections

The biggest challenge with this product is it crosses lines. You need somebody who can support servers as well as somebody who supports the infrastructure. And that's usually two different jobs, two different job titles, two different departments. So if you have a lot of silos within your organization and you have groups that don't work particularly well together between the server team and the network team, you will have problems developing and working on this product. If your server team and your network team work well together, then you'll have a lot fewer problems, it'll work pretty well. But if your server team and your network team are like oil and water don't bother.

In the beginning, it was a bit rough getting it to work and getting any kind of quality support from customer service. But recently they really improved their service and customer service. I believe they raise 100M in new funding which provides them the resources to make a better product with better tools and a better help desk.

  • I don't think the cost is too prohibitive.
  • We also use it as an example of what a small cost can provide big protection for your security.
