Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • AI enabled first-seen ability to scan a website in real-time for unknown websites; great filtering and extremely fast resolver. Offers DNS relay servers with DoT. DoH is now offered for routers. Customer support representatives are very friendly, engaged, and extremely helpful. They work until there is a resolution. DNS relay server app was recently upgraded to include management ability, which has helped tremendously instead of needing to self-install.
  • + Easy to use + One-click CIPA compliance + Users can submit unblock requests directly from the block page + Changes to block lists take effect instantly + The interface is fast and intuitive + Excellent support

Cons

  • Has fallen behind other resolvers with filters. No geographical blocking (only top-level domains; cannot block by regional IPs). DNSSEC support is limited (they actively discourage it). DNSSEC support is non-existent for DoH resolver. Many filter lists do not compare to competitors. IPv6 support is behind other resolvers. NAT addresses only allow you to specify an v6 or v4 address -- not both, which severely limits ability to use non-encrypted resolvers. No v6 support for the DNS relay server software, but they are supposedly developing it.
  • We'd like to have different filtering policies based on which VLAN the user is on. This can be done but it's a bit complex if you use Active Directory integrated DNS as we do.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • IT JUST WORKED. No hassle, no tickets, no downtime. I've been using them ever since and have had NO ISSUES.
  • Easy to setup and installation. Effective administration of the team by control and monitoring setup.
  • It was less expensive than all the other providers (such as Nord) that we reviewed. The pricing was transparent and once signed up the onboarding of the entire team was simple and quick. It has been super stable - we use it daily for business critical functions and it's never let us down. The app which controls the VPN is great - very simple but effective and clear.
  • GoodAccess stands out for its user-friendly interface, making navigation and management straightforward. A key feature is its single IP address assignment for all clients, greatly simplifying access control and enhancing network efficiency. The platform's proactive threat blocking capability is crucial for cybersecurity, actively safeguarding against potential risks. Its streamlined access management reduces administrative workload, while the robust VPN setup ensures secure access to critical applications. Additionally, GoodAccess offers excellent scalability, adapting to various business sizes and requirements, and consistently delivers reliable performance.
  • The user-friendly interface is exceptionally intuitive, allowing employees of all technical levels to easily navigate and utilize the service. Its rapid setup and deployment process ensures that users can be up and running within minutes, significantly reducing onboarding time. The provision of dedicated IP addresses enhances secure and stable connections, crucial for maintaining online privacy and security. GoodAccess requires low technical overhead, minimizing the need for extensive IT support and technical expertise. The service guarantees reliable connectivity, providing consistent and dependable VPN connections essential for uninterrupted business operations. It is specifically tailored for small to medium-sized teams, making it an ideal solution for organizations with up to 50 employees. Lastly, its cross-platform compatibility ensures seamless operation across a variety of devices and operating systems, accommodating diverse technological environments.

Cons

  • Had a little trouble navigating the plans to get the right plan as a micro business.
  • Nothing to write about. May extend customer support timing to 24x7. Can consider more discount for long-term users.
  • A lack of an obvious route to the customer service team. Once contact was made however, they were exceptional.
  • Not really a con, but something to keep in mind: If you need to use the single IP feature, be aware that per user only one device at the same time can be connected. So we have created one account per user per device, to be sure, that everything works correctly and fine.
  • The pay-per-user pricing model can become quite costly for organizations as they grow in size.
