With GoodAccess, the connection is as fast and stable as in the office. All of our employees are working from home nowadays. I see the biggest advantage in easy administration of users and systems.

Constantly locking up and disconnecting for the price you pay its not even remotly worth it when the competition is far more reliable and cheaper.

I use the Linux client. It is very unreliable. For no reason, the status frequently goes from "Connected" to "Failed. And everytime it does, I have to restart my laptop for it to work again. That kills productivity.
