Overall Satisfaction with Twingate

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)
  • 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.
The team has been extremely responsive with ideas on features additions. They were able to handhold us on the setup (which turned out to be easy). The product fundamentally works! We haven't had to use much of their support.
For the end-user, it is essentially an on-off switch integrated with our Identify Protection Solution.
