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 →

"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.

The solution is scalable.""The Azure tool is useful and powerful and availability for clients. The updates are very good and reliable.""The most valuable feature is the networking. I didn't have a good experience with the networking that Sophos has.""It is scalable and depends on your chosen network bandwidth.""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.

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

More Netgate TNSR Cons →

"It isn't stabilized on the first day, and you need to set up the channels properly.""Connectivity could be improved in Microsoft Azure VPN Gateway because it's not as stable, particularly when connecting a device tunnel.""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.""In future releases, I would like to see the ability to inject BGP routes.""The connectivity should be faster.""More configuration options could be included in Microsoft Azure VPN Gateway.""Considering my past interactions with Microsoft's support team, it is difficult to get the right support unless you find the right person to speak with from the customer support team.""They should release a less expensive version of the solution."

More Microsoft Azure VPN Gateway Cons →

"Sangfor SSL VPN should provide advanced protection against ransomware and better data analysis.""No solution is perfect, so there is room for improvement.""The technical support team takes around two months to respond to queries. It is very time-consuming.""I think Sangfor can provide a web-based SSL VPN version.""In redundancy mode, when the firewall goes off, the VPN should be able to connect to the secondary firewall automatically."

    A VPN gateway is a specific type of virtual network gateway that is used to send encrypted traffic between an Azure virtual network and an on-premises location over the public Internet. You can also use a VPN gateway to send encrypted traffic between Azure virtual networks over the Microsoft network. Each virtual network can have only one VPN gateway. However, you can create multiple connections to the same VPN gateway. When you create multiple connections to the same VPN gateway, all VPN tunnels share the available gateway bandwidth.

    Sangfor SSL VPN provides support for remote user to access the enterprise network from anywhere as long as you are connected to the Internet. Remote access is provided through a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) enabled by a SSL VPN gateway. The SSL VPN gateway allows remote users to establish a secure Virtual Private Network (VPN) tunnel using a web browser. This feature provides a comprehensive solution that allows easy access to a broad range of web resources and web-enabled applications (e.g.: Easy Connect) using native HTTP over SSL (HTTPS) browser support.

    Sangfor SSL VPN provides SSL VPN remote-access connectivity from almost any Internet-enabled location using a web browser or a APP that natively support SSL encryption. This feature allows your Company to extend access to its secure enterprise network to any authorized user by providing remote-access connectivity to corporate resources.
