The Tailscale Mesh Network solution delivers a secure solution to keep all your assets and network environments private, and all from an easy-to-use user interface. The use of SAML SSO and the requirement to authenticate each machine (client node), provides a strong and convenient security control with a defence-in-depth approach to your operational security. Then we throw in ACLs, IdP conditional access policies, Tailscale SSH, exit nodes, Tailscale sharing to guests, and it becomes an obvious addition to your networking infrastructure.

I would like to be able to reference my IdP (Azure AD, Okta, etc.) security groups when defining my ACLs.
Implementing a DNS solution has not been straightforward, since we heavily use node-relays. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Deploying and configuring tailscale on remote stations is quick and simple. The system is very reliable, works exactly as needed and the connection is quick and allows realtime data monitoring from remote sites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Convenience features like grouping systems and preventing certain specific stations from seeing eachother exist but are more complex than it should be to set up Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The best part about Tailsacle is being able to have devices talk to each other regardless of how they get their internet is indispensible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Tailscale doesn't allow for arbitrary WireGuard exit nodes. It would be useful to allow clients to connect to a WireGuard server while still being able to ping each other. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is so easy to setup and use. Also, tailscale is very good at finding the shortest route between devices - giving it an edge over using a standard self-hosted vpn like OpenVPN or Wireguard. Additionally, tailscale allows you to "share" devices, this, in addition to the simple setup process, makes it an invaluable tool when doing troubleshooting for others.

The IOS app needs some heavy improvement. As far as usability, the app works relatively fine, however it tremendously drains battery life. Also, in networks where 'tailscale.com' is blocked, the app will not connect - this is also an issue when using a desktop computer. The DERP servers should be implemented in a way that allows for connection around this method of blocking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Tailscale provides a simple client that interlinks various devices together. This allows any devices on the Tailscale network to access each other regardless of any firewalls or network obstacles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Their Android client is lackluster, making it difficult to use an Android phone as a server for various purposes such as app testing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Tailscale makes it easy to interconnect all of our devices, from servers running in a rack to the laptops of each employee. The simple, yet secure mesh VPN Tailscale provides means we don't have to worry about managing complex VPN configurations, making things just work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The lack of an official self-hosted option means we must depened on the cloud for a production-ready solution. Our business takes data privacy seriously, and having to depend on the cloud means yet another provider. While solutions such as Headscale exist, they lack important business features like SSO.

Self Hostinging and that I can access my home and computers whereever I am without compromising on security Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Headscale setup, third party admin console Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Unlike other VPNs, which can be complex to set up, Tailscale is easy to deploy and configure. I appreciate that it works across a wide range of platforms. Provides secure access to my network resources without the need for a dedicated server or VPN gateway.
Another feature that stands out for me is its security. Tailscale uses WireGuard, a modern, advanced, high-performance VPN protocol that's designed with security in mind. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
While Tailscale's pricing may be reasonable for some users, it may be relatively expensive compared to other VPN solutions, especially for larger organisations that need to connect many devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Tailscale simplifies a WireGuard VPN so that anyone can set it up. The setup is easy, and maintenance is even easier. It also provides peer-to-peer connections which can be cumbersome to implement with raw WireGuard Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is no official self-hosted option. This forces us to rely on Tailscale's cloud, which may not always be available if one day they disappear. While an app called Headscale does exist, it lacks some functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Fastest and simplest VPN I have ever setup. Rolling it out to the organization was even easier. First time I've used wireguard but I highly recommend tailscale. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I wish there was an LDAP integration or another way to manage users besides solely through one of the three sso providers.
Works fine for most cases but my person stuff I would appreciate but having to use Google, Microsoft, or GitHub. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We're a small startup and product development team (under 15). Because of our business, we do need some physical hardware in our office, but we also are taking advantage of the flexibility of the cloud.
On the infrastructure development side, Tailscale gives us flexibility to connect cloud and physical resources securely. It lets us design our network and security in the logical fashion we'd like without physical locality constraining us.
Our team is partially remote, and many of them _don't need_ to know whether the resources are local or in the cloud. They can work effectively from wherever they are.
Tailscale has been reliable for us and has allowed us to adapt quickly as the sands of startup life shift beneath our feet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I didn't initially understand the differences between "teams" and "business" plans from their page because I didn't understand how their ACLs work. I think much use of ACLs will likely require a switch to the business plan.
I don't think there's anything terribly _wrong_ with this; it was just a surprise to me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
