    I'd suggest that Perimeter81 is recommended when you want something that is easy to administrate, with little maintenance, unlike a VPN/secure network that you host and manage internally. We've had incidents when there has been downtime at Perimeter81, which has effectively locked us out of some of our secure services (anything locked down via IP). They have made improvements to their infrastructure and it seems to have improved in recent months, but this is something to keep in mind for critical connections

    I think [Proofpoint Meta (formerly Meta Networks)] is a pretty robust VPN solution that would be good for most [organizations].

    In the beginning, it was a bit rough getting it to work and getting any kind of quality support from customer service. But recently they really improved their service and customer service. I believe they raise 100M in new funding which provides them the resources to make a better product with better tools and a better help desk.

    Meta was agile and gave us the product we were looking for. the other vendors were lacking a lot of features or had a difficult deployment.

    Return on Investment
    Check Point Software Technologies
    • I think it is just a cost of doing business.
    • I don't think the cost is too prohibitive.
    • We also use it as an example of what a small cost can provide big protection for your security.
