Easy to use, good support

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: 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.

Easy to use

5.0 last year

Pros:

How easy and automatically it turns on and off when needed, you don't even feel like it is there but you know it is there helping.

Cons:

The first time I logged in, it made my computer run really slow for about 1 hour.

Nice start up, but not fully matured yet.

4.0 4 years ago

Comments: 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.

Pros:

Easy to use, some nice features as well. Easy to manage.

Cons:

Not enough on the security side Poor logging No good traffic views or IPS/IDS ability

Works Great!

5.0 last year

Pros:

I don't have to think about it. It's fast, It always connects and stays connected, even after my laptop has been asleep. I've used many other VPN clients and they've always been a pain; slow and unstable. I'm much happier with Perimeter 81

Cons:

The first time I logged in was not strait forward. There were more steps than I would like and I required help, but once that is done it's been great!

I use it because it is my company's requirement

4.0 last year

Comments: I'm happy with it and even I can use it on my personal mobile so it is extra security. My company compliance a lot in terms of privacy and security

Pros:

Easy to use. You don't realize you are connected through a VPN. It is just a plug&play

Cons:

I remember the setup was a bit tricky but not sure if it was so due to my company process itself
