Why we left our corporate VPN for Twingate
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Twingate checked all of our boxes for a remote access solution, and we recommend it. We replaced our legacy corporate VPN solution for the entire organization of 300 people in 3 continents with Twingate.
We were looking for a solution that was easy to implement, could scale well with network traffic, and improve our security posture. We were sensitive to the last point as a security company ourselves. VPNs have a publicly facing attack surface that the Twingate architecture eliminates. We use Twingate for private access to an on-prem network as well as cloud VPCs in AWS.
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)
Likelihood to Recommend
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.
