Overall happy with the product and support.

Very easy to use, constantly updated, good cooperation with the support team, and quick response.

Works Great!

PROS

I don't have to think about it. It's fast, It always connects and stays connected, even after my laptop has been asleep. I've used many other VPN clients and they've always been a pain; slow and unstable. I'm much happier with Perimeter 81

CONS

The first time I logged in was not strait forward. There were more steps than I would like and I required help, but once that is done it's been great!

Nice start up, but not fully matured yet.

We moved away from P81 due to it missing some features, however when speaking to them they were on the road map. I think the product has a lot of potential to grow and evolve.

PROS

Easy to use, some nice features as well. Easy to manage.

CONS

Not enough on the security side Poor logging No good traffic views or IPS/IDS ability

What can I say? It just works!

Superb. Sublime. Stupendous. Sensational. Okay, I've hit the character minimum now.

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).

Reasons for switching to Perimeter 81

Because my company required it (turned out great for me either way!) (Also I don't recall the specific previous product but I think it was through viscosity client)

Importance on using VPN

it's important to note that while VPNs offer many benefits, they are not a foolproof solution. It's essential to choose a reputable VPN provider and be aware of the limitations and potential risks associated with VPN usage. Additionally, the legality of VPN usage may vary depending on your country and the activities you engage in while using the VPN.

PROS

encrypts your internet connection, making it more secure and protecting your data from potential eavesdroppers or hackers. It helps prevent unauthorized access to your personal information, especially when using public Wi-Fi networks, which are often unsecured.

CONS

masks your IP address and replaces it with the IP address of the VPN server you're connected to. This helps maintain your anonymity online, making it more challenging for websites, advertisers, or other entities to track your online activities or identify your true location.

Easy to use and very accessible

I am currently having an amazing experience as a user of Perimeter 81. It provides great security for my Zoom classes and good VPN access.

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.

I use it because it is my company's requirement

I'm happy with it and even I can use it on my personal mobile so it is extra security. My company compliance a lot in terms of privacy and security

PROS

Easy to use. You don't realize you are connected through a VPN. It is just a plug&play

CONS

I remember the setup was a bit tricky but not sure if it was so due to my company process itself

Finally a safe and simple VPN

I can manage the onboarding and offboarding of external users and suppliers quickly and easily. I can also create WebApps to facilitate access for users or even IT administrators.

PROS

It is a Cloud service that lightens management and maintenance activities, making the end user independent from expensive hardware solutions or complex software solutions. It integrates seamlessly with many identity management solutions. Unlike other VPN solutions, it also contains many features that increase the security of users' endpoints (eg DNS filtering and VPN Kill).

CONS

I believe that password management and synchronization with IdPs can be improved, it would also be necessary to make it possible to create granular access rules.

Happy Perimeter 81 user

Easy to use and great support.

PROS

The support has been fantastic when we had any issues or problems. Another thing was how easy it was to get it working with our existing Azure networks.

CONS

Our windows users has not been as happy the rest of us that use Mac, but they do not want to go back to the OpenVPN solution that we used before

Reason for choosing Perimeter 81

Price and ease of use

Reasons for switching to Perimeter 81

Security we needed two factor authentication and cost of ownership we spent to much time on keeping the old solution running

Great solution for Remote access and security

Connecting remotely is very quick and easy, without a lot of cumbersome steps. The security aspect is definitely important when my sales team travels. This is a great solution for remote work.

PROS

Perimeter 81 is more of a "behind the scenes" software program for us. The confidence that it provides in gaining access to our internal IT systems when my sales team is working remotely is unmatched. The security benefit is a huge plus too.

CONS

The software comes without any negatives. From a user standpoint it is extremely simple to use.

VPN & SDP are useful for small teams

Overall I'd recommend P81 for remote startup teams but it is far from an enterprise grade product at this point.

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.

Does the job

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.

Best VPN I've Ever Used

I have used several other VPN options in the past from various implementations. Perimeter 81's architecture is smart, fast and easy to use and I would happily recommend it to any other IT administration team as it reduces the number of customer support calls they're likely to receive.

PROS

The architecture of Perimeter 81 is such that it allows me to be remotely connected to the company's logical network without reliance on AD. It's a very intelligent design choice.

CONS

I have not yet experienced a challenge with Perimeter 81. It always performs exactly as, and often better than expected.
