Overall Satisfaction with GoodAccess

When launching a startup, many core services and IT necessities can be very costly and complex to setup. I wanted to opt for a private server VPN setup, but after weighing the pros and cons, including costs and time consumption for maintenance, I started looking around for a startup-friendly price model, and for a static office VPN, GoodAccess just simply comes out on top. After then using them for close to a year, we have only had a very small outage that they were quick to fix, and all in all it's been a blessing to not have to deal with VPN management, simply invite users with a click and the rest is sorted by their email onboarding. Dreamy!
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Static VPN location
  • Ease of access deployment
  • Uptime, privacy
  • Keeping operational costs low for a startup
  • Securing backoffice and CMS access for employees
  • Business security
We've additionally used VPNStatic, and they had quite a lot of downtime and an inflexible pricing model. NordLayer/NordVPN had exactly what we needed but for a lot more money, and no OpenVPN profiles. We tried GoodAccess on trial for a week and I was immediately sold, it had everything we needed and then some, can't ask for more than that.
