Nowadays, this is critical, especially when you do all of your work online.""It connects quickly and stays connected. The user interface is pretty neat too.

"Security is an area of concern in the product where the solution needs to improve."

More AWS PrivateLink Cons →

"The overall UI could be improved and updated to bring a simpler feel to the application.""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.""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.""Perimeter 81 could enhance its reporting and analytics capabilities to provide more detailed insights into network activity.""One of our challenges is ensuring the security of our cloud-based operations.""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.""In the future, maybe P81 can improve the network traffic balancing and redundancy.""There is a very small amount of downtime."
