"It keeps us all accountable and ensures secure internet connections while we all work remotely."

"Even after restarting, it tries to quickly reestablish connection which is very helpful."
"Perimeter 81 has increased my security and privacy while maintaining solid internet performance."

"This is a very expensive solution."
"Currently, the product offers everything we need. I can't recall any features that may be lacking."
"The solution could improve the documentation."
"For integration with other AWS environments, we do some tie-ins with some autoscaling groups. This has been challenging for us. We have had issues, where when autoscaling groups scale up, there are some instances which are not showing up in the proper size. Then, those IPs would get registered with F5, but never get released. Therefore, we are ending up with a whole bunch of ghosted IPs."
"A Google Chrome extension would be handy instead of logging into the app."
"The overall UI could be improved and updated to bring a simpler feel to the application."
"Offering in-app explanations detailing what each feature does, its benefits and potential use cases can help users better understand and utilize the tool to its full potential."
"What would be useful would be a notification/warning that a session is due to timeout after exceeding the default connection limit."
"One of the more negative experiences using Perimeter 81 is the fact that I am logged off after a pre-determined amount of time which cuts off access to some of my company's resources."
"It would be nice to have a notification sound when Perimeter81 disconnects, as I sometimes don't notice when the icon shows that it's disconnected, and I end up wasting time waiting for my browser to load a page that shows an error, usually error 404."
"I don't know if it is technically feasible, however, if the Desktop App could be used as a Web App or a Chrome Extension it would be very nice."
"The platform still lacks relevant dashboards and the ability to customize them based on our needs."
