Systems Admin Computer Networking Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Hard to set up, and no support for Small Business" July 18, 2024 1.0 Horrible, their support for Small Business is nonexistent. They say it is text only but if you ask anything more complex than downloading software they say you need a training session that is impossible to setup. If you have an enterprise company maybe it is better, but because they only offer text support to SB, I would not recommend. Pros I liked the features advertised. It seemed like a good solution for my client Cons The website was nearly impossible to get a login to. I had to send multiple emails and they kept just telling me to use the MFA token that wasn't setting up. It was like someone had set up the account before, and I didn't have the token. I could not convince them to reset the token. 10 emails later that was done. I logged in and got the software, and installed it on my clients computers. It seemed to work, but I got no reports. When I attempted to do the Google Inegration, it blew up and cut all clients off from any network access. I tried to call, no support for SB. I texted for 2 hours with their support and they told me I needed to get a zoom or teams meeting with a rep. I sent an email to get that arranged. 6 days later I was sent an email stating if I did not respond to that email they would close the call. I was never contacted about training. It still doesn't work for my client. Review Source JAA Jhedy Ann A. International Teacher E-Learning Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Easy to use and very accessible" January 8, 2024 5.0 I am currently having an amazing experience as a user of Perimeter 81. It provides great security for my Zoom classes and good VPN access. Pros What I liked the most about Perimeter 81 is the ease of access. It is so easy to use and I can easily turn on and turn of the VPN access straight from my toolbar. Cons It would sometimes slow down my device. If there would be further trainings on access and management, I would definitely attend so that I know how to work around the slowing down problem.

It's fast, It always connects and stays connected, even after my laptop has been asleep. I've used many other VPN clients and they've always been a pain; slow and unstable.

Trust and Safety Team Food & Beverages Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Importance on using VPN" June 5, 2023 5.0 it's important to note that while VPNs offer many benefits, they are not a foolproof solution. It's essential to choose a reputable VPN provider and be aware of the limitations and potential risks associated with VPN usage. Additionally, the legality of VPN usage may vary depending on your country and the activities you engage in while using the VPN. Pros encrypts your internet connection, making it more secure and protecting your data from potential eavesdroppers or hackers. It helps prevent unauthorized access to your personal information, especially when using public Wi-Fi networks, which are often unsecured. Cons masks your IP address and replaces it with the IP address of the VPN server you're connected to. This helps maintain your anonymity online, making it more challenging for websites, advertisers, or other entities to track your online activities or identify your true location.
