User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend	Nord Security 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 Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Twingate The product as well as the admin panel is getting richer. Would love port-level access control as well as some more analytics in the admin panel. From what I hear, the team is actively working on it Tanuj Chatterjee SVP of Engineering Read full review
Pros	Nord Security Easy to use Simple user interface desgin Support many VPN protocol Fast and reliable connection Incentivized YA Ye Thiha Aung ICT Read full review	Twingate Easy access management for cloud resources, better security than VPN or IP allow lists 2FA via Google Login or OKTA Easy to onboard external team members (contractors, partners, clients, etc) Was easily approved by my partner security teams to use alongside their VPN client with no conflicts. Zero-trust security is a must-have feature these days! You pay for User, not Client or Resources--easy to roll out to all devices used by your users. No more hassle of maintaining IP allow lists for WFH/remote teams Maksim Pavlishin Sr Director, Engineering Read full review
Cons	Nord Security 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 Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Twingate Windows installation had a small glitch, customer support helped quickly resolve the issue VM Vaibhav Mathur Product Manager Read full review
