Exceptional Customer Service
This service integrates super easily with Heroku, which is what we use for this particular deployment. Their customer service is also second to none -- I couldn't ask for a more friendly and responsive experience.
CONSThe dashboard could benefit from some more granularity in terms of bandwidth usage.
Vendor Response
Thanks for the kind words and I agree, our dashboard could use a bit more granularity WRT the different logging scenarios people need to help dig into their traffic patterns. We're working on it and your feedback helps light a bit of a fire to get it out the door ASAP.

Better than Fixie Socks
We had a lot of trouble getting a ruby rails app connecting to an external database that required a static IP address. We tried Fixie Socks because they said they offered TCP support for databases but their implementation did not work for ruby database drivers. I spent an entire afternoon trying to get Fixie Socks to work with no luck. Once I switched over to Quotaguard I had my configuration working as expected within the hour.
PROSTHe static IP proxy worked right away as intended. We had some issues figuring out some setup but that was more of a Heroku problem than anything else, as soon as we reached out to Quotaguard's support team we had our issues resolved within the hour.
CONSI would hope to find better documentation for database connections. When I googled how to connect a ruby rails app to a proxy for database connections the only results that came back were regarding HTTP connections and not TCP connections for databases.
Reason for choosing Quotaguard
We found a stack overflow post saying they were able to get a setup similar to ours working and it was the only article on the internet that did what we wanted. All the other posts gave bad advice like "open up your whitelist to the whole internet" or "whitelist all of AWS's IPs."
Reasons for switching to Quotaguard
Fixie socks had poor documentation and connecting to a database with ruby database drivers was literally not documented anywhere on the internet.
Vendor Response
Thanks for the in depth review and I'm happy we were able to get this to work for you. Documentation is something we're working on with a large focus right now to try and outline how to do connections to a high number of different endpoints via a number of different protocols. We'll keep at it so it's easier for everyone in the future!

I liked it, but lacks documentation
Overall a good experince
PROSEase of use. No code changed required. other products at same price requires change in code and its tedious to get started. QG dashboard is good as it not much jazzy but includes all required info. Support is great.
CONSDocumentation seems to be old to be, many things that I came to know in support phase is not mentioned in doc. Eg: how do I tunnel basic rails features like rack console etc. I had downloaded qgtunel file that needs to place at root directory of app, but did not knew it needs renaming to .qgtunnel
Reason for choosing Quotaguard
Ease of tunneling without making code changes.

Great Product & Customer Service
Before I found QuotaGuard, I had tried to use Fixie Socks. However, I couldn't get it to work even after downloading a separate library that they recommend (fixie-wrench). So I was relieved to find QuotaGuard. The QuotaGuard team clearly cares about their product and their customers. I enjoyed my interactions with them, and their product seems reliable so far. Overall a solid choice for Heroku/MongoDB Atlas builds.
PROSThe product is straightforward in its design and it worked well with my use case on Heroku/MongoDB Atlas. It enabled me to set up static IP addresses for additional database security, and it distributes traffic between them. I was able to easily add the IP addresses to MongoDB Atlas.
CONSMy use case was slightly different than the one described in their documentation, so I got stuck while setting it up. Fortunately, the team was prompt to respond when I reached out to customer service, and they worked with me directly to find the solution. It was a refreshing experience, and I haven't had any issues since.

Customer support is amazing
Amazing that it exists painful that I did not know how to setup, I was about near ready to take a linux course to try to figure out how to get it working on my own. the instructions concerning ```bin/qgtunnel [application]``` should be made very apparent in the web docs
PROSThey reach out to you and hold your hand through the whole step of the process
CONSIt was impossible to try to setup say if you wanted an application itself to send XHR through the tunnel, not just in certain parts of the code. you must come up with a name other than vendor for your dependencies because Ruby stores its packages in a vendor/bundle directory , of which .gitiginore files gladly ignore, I would recommend to mention this in errors simply that the folder is missing place in project root, but first importantly change the vendor name to say qg-vendor, vendor is somthing that Ruby a programming language uses, quotaGuard is just a small library
Reason for choosing Quotaguard
Help they get back to you right away
Vendor Response
Thanks for the great feedback. We'll add these notes to our directions to help people in the future working on the same setup as you completed too.
