GoodAccess
Chose GoodAccess
We've additionally used VPNStatic, and they had quite a lot of downtime and an inflexible pricing model. NordLayer/NordVPN had exactly what we needed but for a lot more money, and no OpenVPN profiles. We tried GoodAccess on trial for a week and I was immediately sold, it had …
Chose GoodAccess
Implementation is in minutes, and its payment method is simple. GoodAccess is much easier and simpler to implement and manage, no advanced knowledge is required for its configuration, and user management can be done from the administration console.
Chose GoodAccess
GoodAccess is by far the most affordable option and has one dedicated gateway included in the basic service.
Chose GoodAccess
As I found there is a lot of other VPN companies but they don't clearly describe what you will get exactly after payment. Also, they only have prices for personal usage. If you need team package, you must contact manager and they will offer, this is not comfortable for me.
I had …

GoodAccess
If you have a widely distributed team that needs to access a secure network based on a fixed IP address for whitelisting restriction, GoodAccess is the right tool for you. As a robust all-purpose VPN solution, we have not tried that so lack experience to comment, but it can likely do the job well, too.

NordLayer has become an invaluable resource for our security posture and day-to-day activity. The primary use case is preventing staff members from accessing sensitive resources on an unencrypted connection, applying NordLayer and conditional access policies in congruency. The ability to create teams and assigned them to specific dedicated servers is also helpful and allows for further security segmentation

Pros
GoodAccess
  • Ease of use/onboarding, it's very easy for an IT admin to deploy to users
  • Simplicity, their management interface is dead simple to use and still powerful
  • Static VPN locations! We were looking for a pretty specific place, and they offered many of our second choices as well.

Cons
GoodAccess
  • I believe the pricing model could use some better math for scalability, but it's still highly competitive and simple to upgrade with. For a mid-startup it will be harder to choose a company I believe, but for a 2-10 person organisation, there won't be any better.

  • The browser plugin needs some work, or some research about what browser/OS restrictions may limit its functionality. Ours does not work at all even after contacting support so we do not use it
  • Toast/Windows notifications scheduled or deployed through admin center would be amazing. The ability to remind a user who has been disconnected for X hours would be a great feature

GoodAccess
We have hardly had any incidents because the service works very good, but when we have had doubts about the implementation of the gateway to connect ours clouds, the GoodAccess service has been fast and efficient. We have been able to implement and deliver our infrastructure faster with their help.

It's better suited for companies and small teams than for individuals, so we chose GoodAccess. Also, we are happy to have advanced technical support and we are able to talk with someone from the company if needed. Access logs and other features are must-haves in our security policy and we can see our usage in company.
