[Upgrade your plan](https://my.g2.com/netbird/upgrade?utm_campaign=s3&utm_medium=claim-popup&utm_source=g2) to enhance your branding and engage with visitors to your profile! NetBird is an open-source Zero Trust Networking platform designed by engineers, for engineers. NetBird makes it radically simple to deploy secure private networks for modern organizations. Built on the trusted, high-performance WireGuard® protocol, NetBird eliminates the limitations of traditional VPNs by establishing  high-throughput, low-latency decentralized private networks. NetBird’s robust architecture  provides a single, intuitive management console to enforce granular, identity-based access policies, integrating with your existing Identity Provider (IdP) for SSO and MFA. With native and built-in integration with your identity provider of choice, your devices, servers, and cloud resources form direct, encrypted tunnels to each other. A central control center gives full visibility and simple, point-and-click management for remote access. NetBird's decentralized architecture has several benefits: - \> Zero bottlenecks: Traffic flows directly between peers, eliminating the latency and bandwidth limits caused by routing through a central gateway. - \> Enhanced resilience: With no single point of failure, NetBird ensures continuous connectivity. If your on-premises data center goes down, users can still reach cloud resources and cloud-to-cloud links remain fully operational. - \> Scalability and privacy: NetBird’s lightweight client runs on each peer, while its cloud-based management plane handles authentication, key exchange, and policy distribution. Because data traffic never passes through the management service, you maintain maximum performance, privacy, and scalability and full ownership of your data. - \> NetBird integrates seamlessly with CrowdStrike, Microsoft Intune, SentinelOne, pfSense, OPNsense, and many others. NetBird also empowers MSPs to securely manage and connect multiple customer networks through a single, unified platform. Use it for: - Radically Simple Secure Remote Access, connecting anything, anywhere - Zero-Config Deployment: Replace legacy VPNs with a peer-to-peer WireGuard®-based network - Seamless IdP integrations for SSO and MFA - Dynamic Posture Checks and Device Compliance for Zero Trust - Centralized Network Management - Detailed Activity Logging and Auditing - Multi-Cloud and Hybrid Connectivity - Access Control & Micro-Segmentation - Multi-Tenant Management for MSPs: Manage all customer networks securely from one unified dashboard * * * Seller [NetBird](https://www.g2.com/sellers/netbird) Discussions [NetBird Community](https://www.g2.com/products/netbird/discuss) Languages Supported English Overview by Mikhail Bragin Show More ## Pricing Pricing provided by NetBird. ### Free Free Per Month ### Team $5.00 1 User Per Month [ View More Pricing Information ](https://www.g2.com/products/netbird/pricing) ## Top-Rated Alternatives [ ![OpenVPN Access Server](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "OpenVPN Access Server") OpenVPN Access Server 4.5/5(358) ](https://www.g2.com/products/openvpn-access-server/reviews) [ ![Okta](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Okta") Okta 4.5/5(1,366) ](https://www.g2.com/products/okta/reviews) [ ![Check Point Next Generation Firewalls (NGFWs)](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Check Point Next Generation Firewalls (NGFWs)") Check Point Next Generation Firewalls (NGFWs) 4.5/5(595) ](https://www.g2.com/products/check-point-next-generation-firewalls-ngfws/reviews) [ View All Alternatives ](https://www.g2.com/products/netbird/competitors/alternatives) ![Verified User in Semiconductors](/assets/icons/anonymous-avatar-purple-4ae1032bdb50ee5682003170c8184aee790d25958bd397abbd384ba52c596a7b.svg "Verified User in Semiconductors") AS Verified User in Semiconductors Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 8/6/2025 "Easy to setup, zero trust, point to point, next gen enterprise VPN" 4.5/5 What do you like best about NetBird? We switched to Netbird from Fortinets SSLVPN which was single sign on enabled. What the change has done for us: - Made it possible to restrict individual VPN users to the resources they should have access to without managing firewall rules across multiple sites. This is all done in the netbird management interface - Allowed us to onboard individual devices into the network that weren't SSO capable without having to manually set up individual tunnels - Create fast P2P connections to resources in different networks at the same time instead of having only a single point of connection - Automatic reconnection after a network change - Device level authentication instead of user level, especially important for BYOD scenarios. All in all it is now easier than ever to onboard new users and have them set up for the least privileged access all while having a centralized management interface that allows administrators to on the fly change access control rules. User needs access to something new, just add them to the right group or set up a new group / rule. Default is that people have no access to anything and you set up individual access instead of the other way around as many VPNs still work traditionally. It was easy to setup and implement as a self-hosted solution. We use it everyday to connect our users to our network. Integrating it into the workflow for onboarding new users was seamless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about NetBird? The management interface needs a system where you can delegate group management to individuals without allowing them to change access rules. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is NetBird solving and how is that benefiting you? Connecting users with resources they need access to in a least privilege manner from anywhere in the world with unparalleled ease of use. Keeping our network secure.

Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 3/15/2024 "This is the future of Software Defined networks!" 5/5 What do you like best about NetBird? How easy was to install this across a large network and actually start getting useful for everyone, was amazing! Also, the fact that we can switch to a self-hosted controller is a big attractive point, since not all clients will be able to afford paid solutions. Being OpenSource Software is a big part of the decision my company had to adopt Netbird for our clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about NetBird? It's not as advanced as more mature offers in the market, but knowing that it's a "recent" project and that is fully Open Source, makes us believe this is not a negative aspect of it. (just follow every week updates on releases). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is NetBird solving and how is that benefiting you? Helping connect large number of clients across the globe, in private networks, without the use of jump hosts or traditional VPN. Also, the fact that once established we can basically do peer to peer is incredible, since we don't rely on a single VPN exit point, and can controll access to certain internal services with the use of Access Rules.
