NordLayer Reviews & Product Details

What I appreciate most about NordLayer is how seamlessly and securely it enables remote access, letting teams connect to private networks from any location. The intuitive interface, along with centralized management, makes it easy for IT teams to deploy and manage access without hassle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One downside of NordLayer is that occasional connection drops can occur, especially on unstable networks. Some advanced security features are only available in higher-tier plans, which can limit functionality for smaller teams. Additionally, initial setup for larger organizations can be slightly time-consuming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nordlayer is quite simple to setup and use. The user UI is simple, and small features such as Auto Login and Sign in with Gmail, make the user experience smooth.

There are plenty of countries to choose from, and setting up static reserved IP was quite easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If you plan on doing slightly more complicated VPN configuration such as split tunneling, I would definitely look for another solution.

1. While the admin console might look like you'd be able to configure and set your split tunnel configurations, you, actually cannot. It's just a text box to send an email to request the configuration, and once it's live, you can't see it in the admin console.

2. When you do make such a request, you get a 24 hour SLA, but there is no way to know if and when exactly the cutover will happen.

3. If you do end up needing to rollback, you will again, need to talk to support, who will request a senior engineer, and they will not give you an SLA to remove the configuration.

4. While navigating this maze with support, I was blatantly attempted to be upsold for services (Cloud Lan) that had nothing to do with my split tunnel configuration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nordlayers settings are straightforward and very easy to configure. You will just need common sense a little bit of knowledge to configure it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are so many settings that are not accessible to a Team Admin role. You are a "Team Admin" but youre limited to doing user management. I wish they could fix that. Also they team admins and owners cant reset MFA. You'll have to delete the user to reset it which doesnt make sense cause you'll have to setup name and password all over again Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing to say anything tis working good Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The core products (NordPass/NordLayer) are technically advanced and very reliable in daily use. The user interface is intuitive, which simplifies onboarding for new employees. The central management via the control panel is also clearly structured and easy to use. The security features meet high standards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The business practices and pricing are the biggest disadvantage. We entered into a multi-year contract with an agreed discount per license. When we wanted to add more licenses, Nord Security refused to grant this price, calling their own written offer "expired." This breaks trust and makes long-term budget planning impossible. For growing companies expecting a reliable partnership, this non-transparent approach is a significant risk. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Simplicity to add and remember members and distribute licenses between team members. Very straight forward to setup and when i did have a snack customer support hooked me up in a few minutes with a resolution. We use it practically every day on the sepcific project we bought it for.
