Cloudflare Zero Trust Services vs. GoodAccess

I wanted to securely connect to my servers without getting tracked by malicious attackers, even though I was on public Wi-Fi. Security was my top priority, and I also wanted a setup that was easy and quick to start and provided great network performance. Cloudflare's Zero trust matches my criteria for becoming my first choice.

The GoodAccess solution allows you to secure access to cloud resources and environments, and easily manage access for remote work teams, who can be working from anywhere. Because it has the ability to assign one or more Gateway IP addresses that are exclusive for company use, you can manage access from remote environments through whitelists and keep them protected.

• Block access to known bad, risky, or unwanted destinations at the DNS or HTTP level.
• Excellent protection for remote users.
• Best in class browser isolation techniques.

• Ease of use/onboarding, it's very easy for an IT admin to deploy to users
• Simplicity, their management interface is dead simple to use and still powerful
• Static VPN locations! We were looking for a pretty specific place, and they offered many of our second choices as well.

• Cloudflare picks the nearest device location to route the traffic, but It would be great if we could select any particular location.
• Cloudflare enables monitoring for all the connected clients; it would be great if we could monitor any individual client device while keeping some client devices private.
• Sometimes, its DNS is not able to resolve a few project websites; we have to manually purge the cache and even disable the Security to get the work done. So, it would be better if we could manually provide a DNS list or whitelist some websites.

• I believe the pricing model could use some better math for scalability, but it's still highly competitive and simple to upgrade with. For a mid-startup it will be harder to choose a company I believe, but for a 2-10 person organisation, there won't be any better.

I was tired to find good VPN service and want to help everyone to find real good quality and team. Want to advice Goodaccess to everyone, just try it, you'll see yourself. price is good, quality is the best and what is important, when you are buying package, you know what you will get.

Within a few hours, new engineers are trained in basic tasks and are quite happy they are able to resolve issues independently. After SSO is configured, onboarding is as simple as signing into m365 via a web browser popup.

Good chat support from the portal for basic questions and minor issues. The enterprise support line is provided as well.

We have hardly had any incidents because the service works very good, but when we have had doubts about the implementation of the gateway to connect ours clouds, the GoodAccess service has been fast and efficient. We have been able to implement and deliver our infrastructure faster with their help.

As long as all Cloudflare products and services rely on anycast technology, in a complex approach Cloudflare is faster and more relevant for cloud applications. The balance between security and performance is fully established. Also, Cloudflare has quite a good stack for API connection protection, like the API Shield example, which makes it more effective compared to F5 for example. Warp as a ZTNA agent gives better visibility and device posture information than FortiClient does.

GoodAccess specifically addresses our need for a static IP gateway. Other products come with too many features irrelevant to us. We have very specific needs that must be enabled in a very short time frame and GoodAccess was good for us like that, basically, turn key. GoodAccess connection also shows good connectivity speed and that was good enough for us.

• Cloudflare has provided us with 100% uptime even during planned maintenance
• Cloudflare has reduced time for engineering fixes from hours (or days) to minutes in some cases (primarily through Workers)

• Thanks to this solution, we were able to secure access to our cloud resources and stop threats that we received frequently.
• GoodAccess allows us to grant and withdraw access to our resources in a very simple way, in the event that there are changes in personnel in the work teams or contractors.
