Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • I like how there's three different settings, or at least the way my uni's configured it, there's three settings. There's the split tunnel, where you use your own internet connection for common things (which is great, because all VPNs result in a little slower internet, and there's no point in slowing down, say, your Google searches), the full tunnel which is needed to access university specific stuff at the library, and then a third, 'restricted' connection which I assume is what researchers use.

Cons

  • Installing it was a little confusing, I guess? It's a slight hassle to input my username and password every time I turn on my computer? There's not much to dislike here.

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.
