Twingate

““Twingate was the missing puzzle piece in safely scaling our access provisioning for internal resources. Our employees and IT staff love it, and the security team can sleep better at night knowing that we use it over a traditional VPN.””

““Using Twingate is definitely much, much easier compared to how we used to do things with our VPN. Twingate is easier to deploy, setup, and maintain, it’s easier for our users, and we get all the security benefits that Zero Trust offers.””

““We've invested heavily in automation at Blend and Twingate is a powerful platform that allows us to programmatically deploy and maintain a zero trust approach to our infrastructure.””

““The easier any application is to use and document compliance, that’s a big win,” Calle said. “Twingate makes audits much easier. We can find out who’s in there, for how long, and then manage the entire thing with SSO groups from Azure.””

““Our salespeople come to us because they cannot close deals without these requests in place,” Calle said. “The problem is, there’s no standardization around how companies ask for this information. We’re constantly inundated with security questionnaires. It’s turned into a full-time role.””

““The biggest pain point in the company right now is compliance. We need ways to show our security to customers, and Twingate enables that.””

““Obviously, we spent more money on Twingate. But the overall ease of training and use, deployment simplicity, and reduced employee downtime more than pays for itself. What we spend with Twingate is money well spent.””

““It’s very easy to troubleshoot — either they’re not connected to Twingate, or they have a password issue.””

““I go into Azure and block sign-in. That’s it. They’re out of everything in five seconds.””

““The average user has one group with limited access but the engineers have very siloed access. The minute a new hire signs into 365, the Twingate client installs automatically. They can literally work five minutes into being hired.””

““When we got the directive to get off of VPNs,” Calle said, “my peer in Australia described Twingate to me. I was 100% on board. Replacing VPN with Twingate is a no-brainer as far as I’m concerned.””

““The firewall was a single point of failure,” Calle said. “If it went down or you lost the internet connection, that’s it. Employees were locked out of our intranet and AWS sites. It did go down, and the CEO was screaming bloody murder about why his two hundred-person company was down because of some rinky-dink setup.””

““When an employee was offboarded,” Calle said, “you would have to go around knocking them out of systems one by one. If they didn’t get removed from AWS, they weren’t truly offboarded.””

““Onboarding employees required a one-on-one session of about thirty minutes to set them up in the VPN. Then they had to get their resources set up as well.””

““Five years ago, we were an on-premises company,” Calle recalled. “We had servers on-site. We had in-house infrastructure. It was just so archaic and bulky. Now, we have such a light profile. It’s basically about enabling sales and marketing people to do their jobs super efficiently without downtime.””

““Twingate is a zero trust solution that lets you manage secure access into any resource, demonstrate compliance, and minimize your risk exposure. Reporting to my board is much simpler with Twingate because I can demonstrate these things more easily.””

“Developers don't have to think about how to get access or whether something is compliant. It just works, securely and reliably,”

“Twingate helped us take our security posture to the next level,” Zahavi said. “Teams only see and access exactly what they need, nothing more. It's a huge improvement over the all-or-nothing access we had with traditional VPNs.”

“Moving to Twingate has made a big difference in our day-to-day operations, especially for our global team. One of the first things we noticed was the improved network performance — particularly in APAC, where our engineers used to struggle with latency and flaky VPN connections. With Twingate, access is faster and more reliable across the board.”

“"There's more we can do together," Smith said. "A lot of our delivery teams are building applications that need to be available to people outside Appen without ever being public. That's a direction we want to explore."”

“"Our new admin didn't need deep training. He was handed it and could just run with it. That's not something we can say about every vendor we work with across time zones."”

“"We didn't want to invest what it would take to build this ourselves and end up with something subpar,” Smith said. “It came down to a straightforward build-versus-buy decision, and you go with the leader in the space when your client is the best of the best."”

“"Twingate operates at the same global scale we do, both as a technology and as an organization."”

“"I want to emphasize how easy other transitions are once you're on Twingate," said Etga. "A few weeks ago I made a critical change on the Twingate side: I changed our Google SSO to Okta. It was just one click in Twingate and everything was done. So, our engineers and other end users didn't even notice anything. It was fantastic."”

““Thanks to Twingate, we don’t have to deal with VPN issues, so we have a lot more space to work on other projects,” said Etga. “For example, we’re using a lot of AI infrastructure to automate repetitive tasks. Because of the time freed up by Twingate, we can work on areas that will free up even more time.””
