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. What do you dislike about Tailscale?

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. What do you dislike about Tailscale? 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. What problems is Tailscale solving and how is that benefiting you?

TC Tony C. Platform Software Engineer Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 1/30/2026 "Simplifies Global Device Connectivity with Ease" 5/5 What do you like best about Tailscale? 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. What do you dislike about Tailscale? 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Tailscale solving and how is that benefiting you? I use Tailscale to connect my network stations globally, solving NAT traversal issues and enabling peer-to-peer device connectivity without needing a public IP.

Cloud Solutions Engineer Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 12/19/2025 "Streamlined Local VPN Setup, Needs Better Connectivity" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Tailscale? 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. What do you dislike about Tailscale? 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. What problems is Tailscale solving and how is that benefiting you? Tailscale allows me to work locally without the need for commercial VPNs, solving connectivity issues by enabling local setup.

JM Jim E M. Digital Marketing & Server Management Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 8/2/2025 "Stupidly Simple Setup!" 5/5 What do you like best about Tailscale? I thought that a WordPress installation was Stupidly Simple. I was ready to spend a few hours learning the TS (TailScale) dashboard and it's 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 east to sub net to it through one of my NAS's or PC. I can't seem to find anything negative to say about my experience so for. I'll be curious as time goes by to see if I'm ever connected to the DERP server. Great job TailScale team!

What problems is Tailscale solving and how is that benefiting you? Tailscale solves the complexity of building and maintaining a secure, fault-tolerant VPN mesh.

Tailscale is incredibly easy to set up and in almost all cases just works. The ACLs allow fine grained control between users and devices, regardless of where they live on the network, which massively reduces the admin burden of maintaining IP lists and allows security teams audit who has access to what and apply the principle of least privilege. The staff at Tailscale are very friendly and it's clear they want to build what their users want. The calls we have had with their teams have been very productive and it really feels like they value our feedback when deciding how to build features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Tailscale? A lot of Tailscale's features (e.g. magic DNS) are inherently tied to the tailnet DNS name, which can make integration with existing services more difficult. We'd love it if Tailscale integrated with our own domain name as this would make everything work transparently! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Tailscale solving and how is that benefiting you? Securely allowing access to our network from staff members, and between machines. Granting access based on identity, rather than needing to trust based on location or IP address. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
