Likelihood to Recommend This is a VPN for a technical user. It's not the easiest VPN to use and, while very secure, the quirks and issues it has will frustrate your standard users. It's a great backup and secondary VPN option for me as a technical user, but I think for the average user I would recommend something a bit more friendly. For all you IT folks out there or more tech-savvy people, I would definitely recommend checking it out though!
Read full review With proper design, VMware NSX can and should be deployed to virtually any VMware virtualization environment, but the deployment should be tailored to the needs of that environment. There isn't really a one size fits all deployment design for all environments. That versatility is what provides its greatest strength to a business.
Read full review Pros The speed you get is actually really good. I have connected it to multiple locations and very rarely had issues with slow speed. There are multiple servers across different locations. So you always have a lot of choices. Simple to use. The UI is really clean and easy to navigate. Works almost with a single click. You also get access to the mobile version which works really nicely as well. Good support. They were really helpful and responded quickly when I contacted them.

Read full review Interoperability in multi-vendor environments Advanced networking and packet acceleration options can be improved Read full review Alternatives Considered I tried a few alternatives (Cyberghost, Private Internet access etc) before settling on this. Of all the different options I looked into this one performed most reliably for me. It was also the fastest of the different options I tested. It was also backed up by good reviews online and solid support team. It is a little pricier than some competitors but I feel I get good value out of it.

Cisco ACI and VMware NSX, and while they have different strengths and capabilities, I would recommend VMware NSX, as it can be used in all VMware environments, without costly physical infrastructure changes.
Cisco ACI provides some of the same capabilities, but not all. It's focus relies on physical networking changes.
Read full review Return on Investment A single leak of data or hack easily makes this worth it. Its low cost makes ROI and justifiability easy. Read full review Ability to move workloads more easily with the ability to stretch/move networks across multiple physical locations. The added flexibility allows you to expedite tech refreshes since you're no longer constrained by the hardware. Read full review ScreenShots
