Pros
"It's an ideal gateway solution for small and medium businesses, i.e., around 300 devices can be easily handled.""The solution has good performance."

More Netgate TNSR Pros →

"The best feature is the ability to connect from anywhere.""It works perfectly for me. It is very user-friendly in terms of the configuration and the setup process.""It sends us a lot of detections when we have any anti-virus updates. It provides the extended time needed to update a set of time needs and notifications.""What I like best about Microsoft Azure VPN Gateway is that it's a managed VPN, so it's one of the most powerful VPNs I've ever found. It also provides point-to-site VPNs configurable within a few minutes.""The solution is very quick to connect.""The ability to connect old protocols like Border Gateway Protocol is valuable.""The point-to-site is pretty good for the B2C stuff. It's fairly straightforward to set up.""The Azure tool is useful and powerful and availability for clients. The updates are very good and reliable."

More Microsoft Azure VPN Gateway Pros →

"The best features are security and ease of use.""The most valuable features of the solution stem from the advanced security features it offers."

More SonicWall Connect Tunnel Pros →

Cons
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."

More Netgate TNSR Cons →

"They should release a less expensive version of the solution.""In future releases, I would like to see the ability to inject BGP routes.""More configuration options could be included in Microsoft Azure VPN Gateway.""In the next release, Microsoft should add an option to schedule upgrades.""Microsoft Azure VPN Gateway could improve by providing IPS zero-day threat protection. For example, the IPS zero-day threat protection can monitor the user behavior to protect the infrastructure. The solution can only be used as a VPN, it is lacking features.""Their technical support could be better. If you don't have a support contract, it takes longer.""It isn't stabilized on the first day, and you need to set up the channels properly.""The product must provide a single sign-on."

More Microsoft Azure VPN Gateway Cons →

"An improvement would be to update the look and feel of the interface, which is very traditional and doesn't fit the current market trend.""The product's configuration, administration, and user interface are areas of concern."
