Remote workstation is great with NordLayer
Reviewed on 09/08/2022
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.

It's mostly great. The channel account manager has been helpful, was able to connect me to the right people in support to get me up and running.
Pros
The ability to connect the VPN in a router in order to connect a device to their VPN that otherwise wouldn't support VPN on its own. Their desktop clients are easy enough to use, even on Linux (which is entirely done in the terminal using the command line interface).
Cons
Hard to use without a static IP. I intend on getting a static IP later, but for now I have been holding off. Every time my public IP changes, I need to get level 2 support to update the VPN server to connect to the new IP. They say they'll have a feature in the portal some time next year allowing me as the admin to update it myself, but I'll probably have a static IP by then.

Good VPN but lacking features and customisation
Reviewed on 05/12/2022
Pros
User interface is very simple and straightforward. Easy to install and deploy. Team management is also easy.
Cons
Having used NordVPN, it seems it has less features. Customer support is very unhelpful. When trying to use other protocols, they don't always work.

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.
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.

Useful and secured VPN - used for security in a banking software environment

Easy to setup, easy to deploy, easy to manage, and secured.
Easy to setup, easy to deploy, easy to manage, and secured.
Pros
Easy to setup, easy to manage access for teams and members.The dedicated VPN server with static IP address.New members joining the team are activated with only a few actions and are ready to work within a few minutes.The security is really important to us, and we rely on NordLayer to access protected IT resources securly.We also appreciate the availability on multiple devices (smartphone, Windows, Mac OS...)
Cons
Sometimes, the network fails to establish connection and we need to reboot the computer to get network back - mainly after application updates.But it seems that since latest versions we don't encounter this issue as much as we did.
