GoodAccess
I currently consider it to be the best service to securely and reliably access all of a company's online infrastructures. I believe that all companies should implement VPN access and the use of Goodaccess security tools gives it a plus. CCloud infrastructures are clearly exposed to data leakage or unauthorized access.

We used it to connect our two offices together. It aids in secure file transfer for remote users. Some of the 3rd party software is only allowed to run on specific IP addresses due to the license and this is a way that remote users can utilize that software without being on-site

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.

  • some times error logs are not clear
  • Configuring 3rd party apps can sometimes be problematic
  • Limited functionality for iPhone users, but I believe that is due to an apple issue.

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.

Return on Investment

  • GoodAccess pays for itself from day 1. Priced at 10$ a month as compared to 100$ a month for setting up and managing a site-to-site VPN to get access via a static-IP address.

  • Only 2 free users, it would be nice if they would expand to 5.
  • Easy way to establish a VPN backbone between two locations
  • Great for work at home or BCP events.
