## Reviews

### "Best security tool on the market" — 5.0/5

> **Andy** | *June 19, 2025* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Very good and usefull tool for every network security needs. It's a very reliable software that i cannot recommend enough
> 
> **Cons**: I don't have any specific negative aspects to say about the software. It's a very good tool for everyday security
> 
> I have it on every work computer that I use for it to work and protect all of the software that I use.

-----

### "Best way to keep a safe connection at work" — 5.0/5

> **Rebeca** | *June 19, 2025* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: NordLayer is the perfect way to keep a safe connection, specially while handling private data from patients, wherever I'm at.
> 
> **Cons**: Sometimes it logs off automatically, which requires a new connection to make sure I'm able to keep a safe connection while I work.

-----

### "Good VPN connection" — 5.0/5

> **Sally** | *April 22, 2025* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It's very simple to use and provides a stable and reliable VPN connection. I really like that it doesn't lower your normal Internet speed at all like other apps do.
> 
> **Cons**: When you use it for the first time and haven't logged it yet, by default it is on "always on VPN" which means it disables your Internet until it's connected to the VPN. It does have the option to disable it, however, it's a little hard to see, so if you don't know about it, you will be without Internet connection and not realizing why.
> 
> I have been using it for a year and It's very good, it provides a reliable VPN connection. The interface is very user friendly too.

### "Remote workstation is great with NordLayer" — 5.0/5

> **Mas Idayu** | *August 9, 2022* | Oil & Energy | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: iPhone, Android, Linux, and Macintosh are all supported devices for this VPN, which allowed me to run the same VPN across all of my gadgets and get an excellent connection. Even during a trial version, NordLayer offers the most reliable IP address selection from various countries.
> 
> **Cons**: Currently, the only details accessible are a detailed description of the remote device's CPU and RAM and its connection time. Counting the time spent on a machine or in a group over a given period is problematic. Last week, it was impossible to identify whose computers had been accessed.

### "Fantastically easy to use but support not always helpful with backend issues" — 4.0/5

> **Fred** | *December 8, 2022* | Financial Services Software | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The online user interface and the software interface itself are easy enough for all staff to navigate, in particular admin can restrict settings within the app to ensure correct use and reduce tickets from staff having issues connecting.
> 
> **Cons**: Downtime on our dedicated UK Gateway has been frequent enough that we had to provision a backup server located in France which we end up using several times a month. Support not always helpful and tend to refer to basic troubleshooting when clearly a server issue.
> 
> With all staff suddenly working remotely, we needed a secure option that allowed a dedicated gateway for remote staff to use. NordLayer allowed us to configure 50 staff easily and without any major disruption to business thanks to useful team admin interface and ease of setup/installation via the Windows and Linux client.
