Secure network access for remote teams
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Perimeter81 provides us with a secure network to connect our team members to, primarily from remote based locations, allowing us to tunnel securely into other cloud services or lock down access to web services to a specific static IP (provided by Perimeter81). We use the Perimeter81 agent on a mixture of Windows, Mac and Linux endpoints, which then allows us to connect to one of the secure networks we've setup - it's easy to setup for new starters.
Pros
- Administration of network / tunnels is straight forward
- Easy to install for new starters
- Support for a mixture of operating systems
Cons
- Automatic agent upgrades - sometimes these fail and require a manual update
Most Important Features
- Secure network / VPN
- Support for linux (many providers only support Windows and OS X)
- Simple agent deployment
Return on Investment
- Decreased the amount of time spent on VPN maintenance
- Sped up the onboarding of new starters
Much better in 2022, Helpdesk 100% better
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use it for worldwide VPN networks and to help authenticate our employees logging into several different applications. The service allows you to segment to dial in via various regions around the world. They help with a delay in speeds etc. I only use it when I need to log in to corporate databases and systems that require I use our VPN.
Pros
- Simple easy to read icon.
- You can hover over and see if you are logged in via the systems tray on your computer.
- Easy to switch between regions around the world.
Cons
- Customer support was lacking before, now seems better.
- Had much difficulty using Chrome as my browser to install the app.
- Increase the throughput speeds at time would be nicer.
Most Important Features
- Worldwide coverage.
- Ability to switch to different regions.
- One bill for the whole organization.
Return on Investment
- 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.
