What is Twingate?
Twingate allows businesses to secure remote access to their private applications, data, and environments, whether they are on-premise or in the cloud. Built to make the lives of DevOps teams, IT teams, and end users easier, it replaces outdated corporate VPNs which were not built to handle a world in which "work from anywhere" and cloud-based assets are increasingly the norm.

Why we left our corporate VPN for Twingate
Pros
- Eliminates public attack surfaces
- Granular least-privilege access
- Fast & Reliable - our international teams have a much faster connection between their machines and our network resources, esp. on the ones on the cloud
- Easy to deploy & manage - we were able to convert the entire organization to use Twingate in 24hrs
Cons
- The solution doesn't have access control to servers at the port level (yet)
Return on Investment
- Directly, we were able to save costs ($70k annually) vs our VPN solution.
- Indirectly, much better bandwidth between remote workstations and corporate/cloud resources are much faster; improved security posture - we haven't calculated the ROI yet.
Usability
Access management for cloud-based resources
Pros
- 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
Cons
- The Linux client was only recently released, so it took a while for my entire engineering team to get on-boarded. Twingate's customer support has been great, and they expedited Linux support based on our feedback.
Return on Investment
- Better security
- No more hassle of maintaining IP allow lists for WFH/remote teams
- Easy Access Management
- Was easily approved by my partner security teams to use alongside their VPN client with no conflicts.
