Pros and cons

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.
With 30 active users on our account. The overall experience was great.
It provides a user-friendly, equally safe interface and flexible remotely accessible environment ideally suited for small businesses.
Sometimes takes ages t connect to system which annoys me a lot.
At times I have noticed that the software will make my computer lag.
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.

Easy to use, good support

Reviewed 5 months ago

Overall happy with the product and support.

Pros

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

Cons

Don't see any cons at this time. In the past I had issues with updates and logging in after, but they're gone now.

Happy Perimeter 81 user

Reviewed 10 months ago

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

Great solution for Remote access and security

Reviewed a month ago

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.

Excellent Resource

Reviewed 14 days ago

So far I am completely satisfied with the user experience.

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.

Finally a safe and simple VPN

Reviewed 2 years ago

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.

VPN & SDP are useful for small teams

Reviewed 10 months ago

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.

Perimeter 81 works well when other VPNs don't

Pros

I like that when the Great Firewall gets more difficult to get around for work, Perimeter 81 continues to work well.

Cons

It takes a bit longer than other VPN software to startup, but once it's going it runs well and in the background.

perimeter 81 , la tua rete è al sicuro!

Pros

Una delle migliori VPN aziendali disponibili sul mercato. La parte migliore è il supporto tecnico. Letteralmente, in pochi minuti rispondono e risolvono le tue domande lo stesso giorno o anche entro la stessa ora. complessivamente mi piace molto la velocità, la facilità d'uso e l'affidabilità. Se gestisci un'azienda , ti consiglio a cuor leggero Perimeter81 VPN.

Cons

dovrebbe avere molti più paesi nella scelta dell'IP.

Awesome support experience

Reviewed 5 years ago

I've found their support and software to be simple yet competent at every level.

Pros

Easily configurable cloud VPN with convenient software and excellent support. I was able to easily configure clients on mac, windows, and even ubuntu, and their excellent support team helped us to get our AWS VPC networked with the VPN.

Cons

No issues so far. Some sites were able to detect and block traffic as a proxy, but that hasn't been an issue.
