Tailscale Reviews & Product Details

I absolutely love Tailscale, and it has fundamentally changed my development workflow. As a Full Stack Developer, I rely on its seamless networking capabilities to securely access internal resources from anywhere. The ease of setup, combined with the wide range of support available, has been fantastic. It feels incredibly secure, is very well-documented, and is extremely easy to use, typical of the best tools in this space. I use the free tier which has been more than sufficient for the needs of my business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I personally don't have any negatives when it comes to using Tailscale. It checks literally all my boxes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Being able to install it on my Mac mini (home server of sorts) and use the subnets to be able to access my routers, and generally act like Im at my house, while away. Also this works for my NAS, I can not remove any exposure to it from the internet, and allow only LAN access, which allows me to access it remotely with TS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Tailscale is good for small “home scale” networks. I find it very cumbersome for large scale networks (eg at production scale networks) where you have to want to do more advanced stuff like DNS routing, granular ACLs, etc. Some of it is technically possible with Tailscale but it is very cumbersome and doesn’t scale well. For personal use, I think netbird and zerotier to be functionally similar and different pros/cons. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s easy for me to use, and the software feels very familiar. The dashboard and overall UI are easy to understand, and they’re flexible as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Almost everything is fine, but there’s one thing I really dislike. The free plan is okay, but the Teams plan is very expensive, and as the number of users grows over time, the cost will increase as well. Aside from that, everything is fine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like Tailscale's ability to connect devices peer-to-peer using the WireGuard protocol, regardless of the network situation or device status. It's great that the device doesn't need a public IP for others to connect to it. I use Tailscale with PFSENSE and a few other servers, especially AWS, and it works great in terms of security and ease of use. Its ability to support multi-platforms like Apple TV is a really great feature. The initial setup of Tailscale is very straightforward, and the manual and documentation contain everything that's needed. If I find anything confusing, I can easily refer to YouTube videos to walk me through the setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the thing that Tailscale doesn't work well is the authentication. A lot of times, almost always, you would have to sign in your Google account to authenticate a device. And sometimes if you have not used Tailscale for a long time, it'll prompt you for re-signing in your Google account to log in to your Tailscale account. In some cases where the device is sitting behind a network with strict regulations preventing Google access, like in China, you wouldn't be able to authenticate yourself and thus can't use Tailscale effectively.

Almost everything is fine but one thing I hate is about for free plan is fine but teams plan is very high chargable and as time number of users is grow, cost will also increase. so apart from that, everything is fine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Super easy way to create a private network between my laptop and my servers so that only I can access them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing, it works great and does the job. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Tailscale enables directly connect computer, any cloud-based server, virtual machines and more just with simple click and easy to manage in one place with having different network. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Only one thing is I can't access properly my laptop or any machine from my phone, this feature should be added in future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like how Tailscale is simple to use. It’s straightforward with a Mac desktop, where you just plug in your credentials and the client's credentials, and you’re good to go. The software has simple installations and clear guides. The setup was really easy with the documentation provided, and everything went smoothly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it might be a blocker, I would say. You might be blocked out every now and then. For example, maybe they have some caches, so they keep your credentials locally for around forty-eight hours or seventy-two hours, so you might be logged out. Network isolation or something needs to be taken care of. That could be improved for better connectivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I thought that a WordPress installation was Stupidly Simple. I was ready to spend a few hours learning the TS (TailScale) dashboard and its implementations. I think that I'm all of 15 minutes in and have 4 devices already connected.

For the devices such as my managed switch that don't have a way to add the TS client, it's ridiculously easy to subnet to it through one of my NAS's or PC. I can't seem to find anything negative to say about my experience so far. I'll be curious as time goes by to see if I'm ever connected to the DERP server. Great job TailScale team!

I can't seem to find any at this time to report. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

probably that is not that complicated to use, once you get the context its pretty straight forward Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

probably the process of disconnecting, its always turned on and sometimes you do not need the VPN as youll probably be doing other tasks that do not require VPN Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
