Why we left our corporate VPN for Twingate

Rating: 10 out of 10
Incentivized

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.

Access management for cloud-based resources

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Access management for our AWS resources is now much easier via Twingate's web admin dashboard. Before that, my teams were constantly wrestling with getting our users on VPN or maintaining everyone's home IP addresses in an allow list. Glad to be using the latest and greatest for our WFH teams!

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.

Twingate is well suited for access management for cloud-based resources.

Best access solution for WFH and remote teams

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Twingate is a great product for teams working remotely. We replaced our internal IP whitelisting and VPN processes with Twingate across the org. Our teams are able to access AWS cloud resources, staging environments in CloudFront, and internal analytics dashboards in Tableau (self-hosted) via Twingate on iOS, Mac, Windows, Linux and Android devices. Was super easy to install, and they have great customer support. So glad to be done with the IP access/deny lists!!

Pros

  • Super convenient to install and use
  • Excellent customer support
  • Easy access management, and top-notch security

Cons

  • Windows installation had a small glitch, customer support helped quickly resolve the issue

Likelihood to Recommend

Twingate is great if you're securing access to any self-hosted or cloud-hosted resources and have remote teams that need authenticated access. One thing that's pretty neat is now we have two-factor authentication across all our resources and 'identity' based logins (vs IP-based or shared logins).
