It is positive because it offers a secure and practical way to manage remote access for teams. It is especially useful for organizations that want stronger network security, easier user control, and a more manageable alternative to traditional VPN setups.
Pros: Its strong security features combined with a simple user experience. It provides secure remote access, identity-based controls, and centralized management without feeling overly complicated for everyday use.
Cons: Troubleshooting connection or access issues can sometimes take extra time, especially when policies, gateways, or user permissions are involved. The experience can also feel a bit limited when deeper customization is needed.

Wir haben einen Mehrjahresvertrag mit einem vereinbarten Rabatt pro Lizenz abgeschlossen. Als wir Monate später weitere Lizenzen hinzufügen wollten, weigerte sich Nord Security, den vereinbarten Preis zu gewähren. Für uns ist das ein Vertrauensbruch, nicht nur eine Kostenfrage. Als schnell wachsendes Unternehmen erwarten wir von Anbietern eine verlässliche Partnerschaft.
Pros: Die Produkte selbst (NordPass/NordLayer) sind technisch solide und funktionieren gut. Von der Nutzerseite her erfüllt es alles, was wir brauchten.
Cons: Die Preisgestaltung ist intransparent und unzuverlässig für wachsende Teams. Rabatte gelten nur für den Erstkauf, und Lizenzen werden bei Erweiterung unerwartet teurer. Selbst schriftliche Angebote werden mit der Begründung "abgelaufen" nicht eingehalten, obwohl sie die Grundlage für einen laufenden Vertrag sind.

Lion L. · CEO · Computer Software · October 3, 2025
Pros: NordLayer is the perfect way to keep a safe connection, specially while handling private data from patients, wherever I'm at.
Cons: Sometimes it logs off automatically, which requires a new connection to make sure I'm able to keep a safe connection while I work.
Rebeca C. · Front Desk Representative · Hospital & Health Care · June 19, 2025
I have it on every work computer that I use for it to work and protect all of the software that I use.
Pros: Very good and usefull tool for every network security needs. It's a very reliable software that i cannot recommend enough
Cons: I don't have any specific negative aspects to say about the software. It's a very good tool for everyday security
Andy M. · Senior account executive · Health, Wellness and Fitness · June 19, 2025
I have been using it for a year and It's very good, it provides a reliable VPN connection. The interface is very user friendly too.
Pros: It's very simple to use and provides a stable and reliable VPN connection. I really like that it doesn't lower your normal Internet speed at all like other apps do.
Cons: When you use it for the first time and haven't logged it yet, by default it is on "always on VPN" which means it disables your Internet until it's connected to the VPN. It does have the option to disable it, however, it's a little hard to see, so if you don't know about it, you will be without Internet connection and not realizing why.
Sally G. · Customer Servicer Auditor · Health, Wellness and Fitness · April 22, 2025
It's mostly great. The channel account manager has been helpful, was able to connect me to the right people in support to get me up and running.
Pros: The ability to connect the VPN in a router in order to connect a device to their VPN that otherwise wouldn't support VPN on its own. Their desktop clients are easy enough to use, even on Linux (which is entirely done in the terminal using the command line interface).
Cons: Hard to use without a static IP. I intend on getting a static IP later, but for now I have been holding off. Every time my public IP changes, I need to get level 2 support to update the VPN server to connect to the new IP. They say they'll have a feature in the portal some time next year allowing me as the admin to update it myself, but I'll probably have a static IP by then.
Joel D. · Financial Representative · Insurance · October 27, 2023
Overall, the experience has been good. Could be improved with more fine-grain settings that provide more control which is needed in an enterprise environment.
Pros: NordLayer integration is fairly easy. The App is straightforward and easy to use on both computer and phone. Seamless login with Azure AD SSO.
Cons: $8c
Brian M. · Sys Admin · Professional Training & Coaching · January 25, 2023
NordLayer is the best VPN I've used so far especially when I started working remotely. As the Admin Lead of our organization and the EA to our CEO, security is our topmost priority so the peace of mind that this software provides us is the number one selling factor, followed by its competitive price point.
Pros: Ease of installment and deployment and adding team members
Cons: Failure to connect to the internet when VPN is on -- does not happen as frequent though and is usually resolved by restarting the application
Kate L. · EA to CEO · Hospital & Health Care · December 13, 2022
This has been really useful for allowing our international workers to easily connect to and user services inside the US, since many websites and services block international connections. Since this is our major use, our experience has been mostly great. Occasionally it appears that the IP our employees our using seems to get blocked by some sites, so they have to disconnect and reconnect a few times to try and get onto the site.
Pros: This allows us to easily manage VPN connections for remote employees without having to run a dedicated VPN service in our office. This keeps our bandwidth needs in office lower. It’s also super easy to manage our users using this software. Very customizable, with us being able to add dedicated IPs as needed.
Cons: We had a unique situation where we wanted to connect some of our multimedia devices to this service (Firestick, Apple TV), but we were unable to because no app was available to connect these. I know a NordVPN app exists on these devices, but it would be nice if a NordLayer one did as well. Or, if we could sign into NordLayer through the NordVPN app.Also, I can’t seem to find a way to request the app cycle your IP to another address. We have had issues where websites we connect to seem to have blocked the IP address currently used.
Alex V. · IT Manager · Real Estate · December 13, 2022
Pros: The UI is very nice and easy to use. Easy to setup and remove access. Works well on all devices.
Cons: The seperation of nord and teams is a little confusing. You can't tell at a glance on the device which "service" is being used.
Brandon W. · Lead Software Engineer · Telecommunications · December 13, 2022
Pros: Nordlayer VPN is good, only used to connect to DC.
Cons: Sometimes connection is intermittent....
Harsh J. · Helpdesk Manager · Telecommunications · December 13, 2022
Assez satisfaite de l'utilisation du NordLayer. Je le trouve entre les autres VPN que j'ai utilisé le meilleur
Pros: Je l'utilise depuis plusieurs années pour me connecter quand je suis en voyage ou depuis un réseau pas sécurisé
Cons: Un peu difficile pour installation et pas beaucoup des pays pour se connecter
Alexandra A. · Assistante de recherche · Health, Wellness and Fitness · December 9, 2022
Our employees connect to our overseas clients that have requirements to have the IP coming from the client's region
Pros: Easily manage user access and a breeze to setup
Cons: No negative experiences as of the moment.
Leonardo Jr C. · Technical Support Consultant · Information Technology and Services · December 8, 2022
With all staff suddenly working remotely, we needed a secure option that allowed a dedicated gateway for remote staff to use. NordLayer allowed us to configure 50 staff easily and without any major disruption to business thanks to useful team admin interface and ease of setup/installation via the Windows and Linux client.
Pros: The online user interface and the software interface itself are easy enough for all staff to navigate, in particular admin can restrict settings within the app to ensure correct use and reduce tickets from staff having issues connecting.
Cons: Downtime on our dedicated UK Gateway has been frequent enough that we had to provision a backup server located in France which we end up using several times a month. Support not always helpful and tend to refer to basic troubleshooting when clearly a server issue.
Fred L. · IT Admin · Financial Services · December 8, 2022
Easy to setup, easy to deploy, easy to manage, and secured.
Pros: Easy to setup, easy to manage access for teams and members.The dedicated VPN server with static IP address.New members joining the team are activated with only a few actions and are ready to work within a few minutes.The security is really important to us, and we rely on NordLayer to access protected IT resources securly.We also appreciate the availability on multiple devices (smartphone, Windows, Mac OS...)
Cons: Sometimes, the network fails to establish connection and we need to reboot the computer to get network back - mainly after application updates.But it seems that since latest versions we don't encounter this issue as much as we did.
Benoît B. · CTO · Banking · December 8, 2022
Daily usage for remote work and access to restricted servers from home. All admins and agents working with the Nord Layer are very happy
Pros: Ease of setup, how easy it is to obtain a static IP address in a country that we needed. Very easy for all users to use the software. Great customer support that replies in a short time and answers the questions.
Cons: Nothing to note, we didn't find anything so far that we don't like.
Mario D. · Training Manager · Consumer Services · December 8, 2022
It has been good and done the job for our company. The service is extremely fast and works all around the world (which has been tested by our staff).
Pros: Super fast VPN, we are able to host and stream with no issues and very little delay. Straight forward user panel and very friendly support.
Cons: The Mac App though the Appstore has caused me some issues in my MDM environment. The start with computer start features turns off sometimes and it is recommended to add the programs manually to the start up program on System Preferences. Also is there a way to link the app and the device so it will not sign out on occasion. Dropbox app has a way of doing this, and it remains signed in, even if your Mac Keychain is reset (in the case I user gets locked out of Mac and needs to use recovery / FileVault keys to gain access).
Raymond P. · AV Director · Hospitality · December 6, 2022
good experience
Pros: easy vpn usage, was easy to roll out with team
Cons: pricing is a little high, I heard from staff they sometimes get kicked out of VPN
Greg S. · President · Insurance · December 5, 2022
This allowed us to get a VPN up and running quickly to provide secure access to our systems during the pandemic.
Pros: The ease of setup allows you to get a VPN up and running for your company within minutes. Getting a gateway means you'll have a static IP for all of your VPN users, making it easy to poke holes in your firewall/add IPs to your cloud allowlists to get your users connected to your assets securely.
Cons: The app requires updates constantly, which is annoying to end users and tech support. A third party app is required to manage updates silently.
Sean R. · VP of Technology · Financial Services · December 5, 2022
Pros: NordLayer makes it easy to implement a company VPN and secure company communications and traffic at a reasonable price. Great customer support makes it even easier.
Cons: Monitoring reporting is very limited, requiring the use of other tools if that’s important to your organization.
Ned S. · CEO · Management Consulting · December 5, 2022
Pros: User interface is very simple and straightforward. Easy to install and deploy. Team management is also easy.
Cons: Having used NordVPN, it seems it has less features. Customer support is very unhelpful. When trying to use other protocols, they don't always work.
Lawrence C. · Head of Service Operations · E-Learning · December 5, 2022
Excellent. Easy to setup. Easily forgotten once connected. I never think; will I be able to do my work today? Will I be able to complete my work before the VPN provider kicks me off my dedicated IP? I haven't needed to contact support. As far as I know, we've only had a handful of issues connecting which were solved by a local (home) router reboot.
Pros: We as a team love that NordLayer doesn't get in the way of our work. Previous VPN providers we used were constantly causing issues. Once connected to NordLayer's VPN, you forget that you are connected. This is, in our opinion exactly what a VPN should do.
Cons: The software delivers on everything we need. There's nothing to complain about.
Chris H. · CTO · Package/Freight Delivery · November 30, 2022
Pros: I love the easiness of adding new users, and adding subscriptions. Simple billing and online portal.
Cons: I feel as if the customer service and custom options could be improved (i.e. bulk discounting)
Luke C. · Admin Asssitant · Management Consulting · November 29, 2022
Enabling Remote Workers to access work resources that are not typically available in their country has been incredible. Our alternative was a cloud based private VPN solution that was going to cost $6k to deploy and hundreds per month in operational fees. NordLayer does it for less than $100 a month.
Pros: The ease of use for both the admin configuration and the end user setup portion. Inviting new users is easy and teaching them how to connect to the VPN is quick. The network quality is also impressive. Our primary use is for our VoIP system, and there are no latency issues compared to local workers.
Cons: I don't have any cons. NordLayer has met all of our needs and I have never needed support, the product has just worked as advertised.
Taylor M. · IT Specialist · Logistics and Supply Chain · November 29, 2022
I am overwhelmed by this VPN. Highly recommended.
Pros: It is very easy to access the vpn with NordLayer tool. VPN gateways can be changed within a second.
Cons: There are so many updates and sometimes it it slow.
