Game changer for multiple VPN replacement
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to set up, manage and integrate with our IDP. Seamless for our user base to access apps and services anywhere we want. Decent price point compared to competitors.
What do you dislike about the product?
Still a young product so it does lack some features, however the team are very active in development and great at communicating upcoming changes and new features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solving our issues of multiple remote access methods required for different environments. Saves us time managing multiple identities and connection clients. Outages are a thing of the past.
The crew at Twingate are great! The software has been easy to install and update.
What do you like best about the product?
Twingate provides excellent one to one client support with solid and deep documentation available online.

Having to restart the client after logging out occasionally; this has been the only issue experienced.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Twingate provides the exact solution for my remote and hybrid workforce to work how they want(phone, tablet, computer) and where they want with minimal setup or complicated maintenance.
Great Zero Trust access tool
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to give access to users (or groups) to specific resources (private or public) and enforce strong authentication is awesome!
What do you dislike about the product?
Connectors management could be easier but we still need to test the terraform + helm integration which should improve our usage!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Twingate allows our engineers to have access to private resources in our cloud infrastructure as if it was publicly accessible but without compromising security!
A solid remote access solution
What do you like best about the product?
Twingate is very easy to configure and deploy and users enjoy the ease of use and ability to access company resources without being beholden to the Corporate web filter.
What do you dislike about the product?
There were some steps that we we're aware of in the begin and navigating the documentation wasn't always intuitive.
Specifically the setup of non-FQDN hostnames/addresses and on-domain (AD) over twingate where something to learn and didn't have an easy way to setup.
also the client updates with non-admin users is rather clunky, I usually end up downloading the installation file again instead of using the built-in update functionality.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
reliability and speed have been improving the entire time that we've used Twingate and it's obvious that they're working to make it a solid VPN replacement.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
it's a worthwhile product,
deployment of the connectors is easy and the clients function well

Growing secure remote access solution that gets better with time
What do you like best about the product?
Of all my infrastructure initiatives, Twingate is by far the component I get the most praise for, even if I just purchased it and deployed a few connectors. As a remote-first startup, everyone from devs to management loves how easy it is now to access our development and private infrastructure. Fast and solid network performance while connecting to many remote isolated networks at once, no more switching destinations as with traditional VPN solutions. Innovating and quickly adding new features like to direct connect (peer-to-peer without traffic relay) has been awesome as we are not as reliant on Twingate's relay server infrastructure for performance. They are working on better client authorization with Trusted profiles to have even more control over who and what can access our remote infra. We rely on Twingate to allow our developers to access our development AWS RDS/elasticsearch instances which traditionally required a VPN or ssh tunnelling. The ability to move all our SSH bastion hosts into a private subnet and additionally add an extra 2FA prompt allows us to feel a bit more secure. I love that they added a free tier so I can run their solution for my home lab.
What do you dislike about the product?
There have been some growing pains with outages as well as they often have scheduled maintenance windows to upgrade their backend database (3-5 mins). While having higher performance, they have not yet closed the gap on features, nor do they have as generous of a free tier as Cloudflare Access.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Twingate allows us to seamlessly access multiple isolated cloud resources simultaneously which was not possible with a traditional VPN. Tying network access to resources based on our Okta groups makes management a breeze, and onboarding automatic. We can access our remote internal resources using the same internal DNS name as is used by the services deployed within that network. No more looking up the external names or adding load balancers/proxies to access resources.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use the free tier to evaluate the performance and features against the other next-gen VPN and remote access solutions. Ensure your leverage the API access, don't deploy this infra by hand even if it's the method sales engineers promote, save yourself time in the long run by automating the deployment and automatic upgrade of the Twingate Connectors and Resource URLs.
Reliable service, great support
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use client for my users (MAC). Easy to use admin interface. Easy to create docker command. Support team is very good.
What do you dislike about the product?
For my internal mac resources I have to run a full docker container
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
security
Provisioning of Access to specific service in our Helivent App K8 clusters with Twingate is reliable
What do you like best about the product?
Twingate follows a zero-trust security model in which implementations are carried on with the least access privileges for our customer platform. It doesn't allow one single resource to take overall traffic control management independently for preventing network breaches and operates with node distribution strategies. We can regulate the user access authorization by implementing approval stages for sensitive decision-making and visibility enhancements.
What do you dislike about the product?
Twingate deployments don't require any networking technical expertise as its simple & straighforward. We needn't make any changes to our existing network infrastructure thanks to its dynamic resource discovery feature. Twingate connectors also aid with composing our resource definitions and group membership policies of our Kubernetes deployments.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Twingate defines logical sets of all resources which are accessible through remote networks via Twingate connectors. These connectors can also be deployed on Amazon Linux instances using Docker which is light-weight and efficient for our use cases. We are able to customize access privileges on a granular level to our Helivent application clusters which are accessible using its Internal IP address or its K8 DNS name. We can also add up new resources and Twingate will authorize users to access K8 services through a private DNS address.
" Zero-trust network with tight security "
What do you like best about the product?
Twingate is a VPN alternative that uses a zero-trust model, and keeps our business and personal traffic separate. It protects our cloud infrastructure so good. So I think this is an amazing platform as it is very easy application to setup. Also Its price is also affordable.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing much to dislike but I faced one problem with their support. It is not actually available when I need it. My business hours don't align with support hours. And this problem should be fixed as soon as possible.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As this is much secure platform, I used this one as a replacement of VPN. And I think I can make the best use of this platform. Before I was using many accounts for many sites but this one really impressed me. And I am now the regular user of Twingate.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
As this is a super platform to use and highly secured, this is highly recommended for anyone for those who need easiness and secured platform like this.
This is how remote connectivity is supposed to work
What do you like best about the product?
the simplicity of setup and the support provided are outstanding
What do you dislike about the product?
Some people just don't understand that it is not a vpn.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Remote access into a network based on proper network level controls
Innovative and evolving secure access to our resources
What do you like best about the product?
Peace of mind when it comes to secure access, ease of deployment has been vital as we already worked remotely during the migration to Twingate. The ability to scale both the user licenses and resources has been essential during recent globally tricky times.
What do you dislike about the product?
More visibility of successful\failed connection attempts and current active connections. Posture checking of both antivirus and patching\windows updates.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing secure access to resources in our Azure cloud has become a lot easier and manageable.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
We found it very easy to migrate from a Cisco VPN model whilst working remotely. The team at Twingate has helped us at every step from initial migration to administration with no task too small or big for them.
