Has been great as we build a new product.
What do you like best about the product?
We're a small startup and product development team (under 15). Because of our business, we do need some physical hardware in our office, but we also are taking advantage of the flexibility of the cloud.
On the infrastructure development side, Tailscale gives us flexibility to connect cloud and physical resources securely. It lets us design our network and security in the logical fashion we'd like without physical locality constraining us.
Our team is partially remote, and many of them _don't need_ to know whether the resources are local or in the cloud. They can work effectively from wherever they are.
Tailscale has been reliable for us and has allowed us to adapt quickly as the sands of startup life shift beneath our feet.

What do you dislike about the product?
I didn't initially understand the differences between "teams" and "business" plans from their page because I didn't understand how their ACLs work. I think much use of ACLs will likely require a switch to the business plan.
I don't think there's anything terribly _wrong_ with this; it was just a surprise to me.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- Transparent use of devices in cloud and physical locations for team use, and product development.
- VPN-like remote access.
- Ability to switch on for full traffic protection when on sketchy networks such as coffee shops.

VPNs reimagined with Tailscale
What do you like best about the product?
I love that Tailscale allows you to access devices / local network without having to open up a port (essentially a door) on your network. This limits the attack surface for potential security threats whilst still allowing you access to your devices remotely. They make it incredibly easy to get started with a VPN.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's no ability to share network subnets with other Tailscale members. This essentially restricts access to a local network to only one person without a paid plan. I hope that they'll add this in the future.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tailscale helps me and others to remotely access a device or network from anywhere within the world easily and without having to have an open door to the internet.
Wonderfully user-friendly - some rough edges - but great in terms of concept and stability
What do you like best about the product?
Tailscale is quite fast compared to our - already fast - legacy IKEv2 VPN. We used Tailscale for our remote workers, as well as for a couple of site2site VPNs, with great success. We also use it as a bridge to an IKEv2 exit node, which works like a charm. The onboarding of users is a no-brainer, and the cross-platform experience is just superb.
What do you dislike about the product?
The ACL configuration could be better, the syntax sometimes forces you to be repetitive, and it becomes a lot (and a mess) if you are not careful. We combine it with server-side firewall rules.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We got rid of a maintenance burden and won a lot of time in the on-boarding and off-boarding of employees and externals. The fact that everything works neatly on iOS and Linux helped us reduce the number of software tools we use to one, and close the gap with our cloud.
You run routers between sites? How quaint.
What do you like best about the product?
I love the simplicy of the product and the lightbulb moment when you realise where it's useful.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's a difficult sell in environments where they are dyed in the wool cisco
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I had two sites and needed to connect the machines between them and because of double NAT one end was having issues.
