NordLayer

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

Pros: Nordlayer VPN is good, only used to connect to DC.

Cons: Sometimes connection is intermittent....

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

Pros: Easily manage user access and a breeze to setup

Cons: No negative experiences as of the moment.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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)

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.

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.
