Perimeter 81

Pros

Its easy and fast i love that i dont need to think a lot before loggin in

Cons

you need to sign in everyday again (it is not save your info)

Pros

It will automatically connect depending on what SSIDs or Domains you have whitelisted and let you know if you're connected to a trusted network or not.

It is very easy to manage users and their connections.

The firewall capabilities allows us to regulate when, how and what 3rd parties are able to connect to.

Cons

The setup process for a new user is a little lengthy for users who aren't as tech savvy or familiar with MFA.

Occasionally it seems to break itself and the application needs to be reinstalled on the user's workstation.

Pros

I liked the features advertised. It seemed like a good solution for my client

Cons

The website was nearly impossible to get a login to. I had to send multiple emails and they kept just telling me to use the MFA token that wasn't setting up. It was like someone had set up the account before, and I didn't have the token. I could not convince them to reset the token. 10 emails later that was done. I logged in and got the software, and installed it on my clients computers. It seemed to work, but I got no reports. When I attempted to do the Google Inegration, it blew up and cut all clients off from any network access. I tried to call, no support for SB. I texted for 2 hours with their support and they told me I needed to get a zoom or teams meeting with a rep. I sent an email to get that arranged. 6 days later I was sent an email stating if I did not respond to that email they would close the call. I was never contacted about training. It still doesn't work for my client.

Pros

Okay, fine. So I'm just an end user, going about my day and doing my coding thing. I don't have to pay for the company VPN or manage the company VPN or anything like that.

BUT! Perimeter 81...this right here is the BEST VPN I have ever had the pleasure of using. Before Perimeter 81, I had this line in my bashrc file to greet me in a 'fun' way every time I opened the terminal:

```
figlet 'Are you on the VPN?' | lolcat
```
...because the VPN would disconnect so often, and so much of my work depended on me being on it, and I would forget that it was disconnected and be sad or confused, rinse, repeat.

HOWEVER, with Perimeter 81, it never disconnects! It just stays happily connected! Now I can make my terminal say 'hello' or something in fun big text instead. Because I never have to worry about the VPN.

10/10; great product (for this happy guy who doesn't have to administrate it or pay for it at least). Highly recommend.

Cons

Honestly, I can't think of anything right now. I didn't even have to set up my own weird files or anything like I've had to in the past (maybe ask our IT folks though how much work that was).

Pros

What I liked the most about Perimeter 81 is the ease of access. It is so easy to use and I can easily turn on and turn of the VPN access straight from my toolbar.

Cons

It would sometimes slow down my device. If there would be further trainings on access and management, I would definitely attend so that I know how to work around the slowing down problem.

Pros

Perimeter 81 as one of the best network connectivity.

Cons

Sometimes it misbehaves when I try to switch my Wi-Fi.

Pros

The application interface is extremely easy to navigate. The mobile app has a similar interface. Both run well

Cons

It will sometimes not connect automatically to the VPN and it’s easy to forget to reconnect manually which can be annoying.

Pros

Very easy to use, makes easy to all be connected to the right network

Cons

sometimes it crashes and logs you off and you have to log back into system

Pros

easy installation and no further action needed as all tasks are managed by corporate office. Great user interface and easy to connect to company network.

Cons

All functionality is as expected. No regret installing it.

Pros

Works stable and flawlessly from a user perspective.

Cons

There are no cons from my user perspective.

Pros

Simple to use, fast policy enforcement, invite users via email, and support for agentless methods (SSH, VNC, RDP), Super fast tech support chat responses

Cons

It says ZTNA, but I don't think the agent method has the same powerful micro-segmentation capabilities as agentless.

Pros

Simple to use as a VPN client, I barely notice it is there

Cons

It would benefit if it could show some kind of status when connection has poor connectivity

Pros

Works great from multiple locations: various countries outside the US, hotels, cafes, etc.

Cons

The initial set up is not the most intuitive - feels circular. Eventually got to the right place. Depending on where you're connecting from, VPN can cut in and out affecting performance. I had to turn it off a few times because the reconnecting was disrupting a virtual meeting.

Pros

Easy to access my application and resizing my screen

Cons

copy paste password to the remote machine login screen is not working

Pros

This is really Secure & user friendly even our fresh resources understand the usage.

Cons

It goes Slow sometimes so we have to login again sometimes on daily basis.

Pros

I need to have safe, secure internet because I work from "home" which is my RV. We travel all over the country and I need the peace of mind.

Cons

My company installed it and it's the first VPN I've ever used so I have nothing to compare it to.

Pros

Easy to connect and use. User friendly and relaible.

Cons

It has everything I needed for my work and is very good working order.

Pros

Easy to connect to system most of the times

Cons

Sometimes takes ages t connect to system which annoys me a lot

Pros

The ease of use on Mac, I hit one button and select the VPN I wish to be on, then go to work - switching is flawless especially during a meeting!

Cons

Nothing, in my current role functionality is what is most important and ease of use and explanation to teammates

Pros

The software defined perimeter for remote work is helpful but the product is inconsistent.

Cons

We've had issues with network speeds, disconnections, and the support we've gotten has been lackluster.

Pros

It provides a user-friendly, equally safe interface and flexible remotely accessible environment ideally suited for small businesses.

Cons

Occasional issues with connectivity and performance scalability

Pros

It is always up!!! Ease of use and very reliable

Cons

Nothing yet. So far it has been incredible
