Tailscale vs ZeroTier

How do Tailscale and ZeroTier compare? And what does Netmaker offer?

Businesses have been migrating towards a "remote first" and "cloud first" posture for many years. In this world, traditional corporate firewalls with physical routers and switches are going away. Simultaneously, the rise of IoT and Edge Computing have produced new networking challenges, with corporate devices deployed in untrusted or public networks.

Benefits of Enterprise

1

Metrics & Monitoring

Netmaker EE offers built-in network metrics for all machines in your network, including latency, connection status, and bytes sent/recived. It also includes data exports for Prometheus and Grafana, with custom dashboards

2

User Management + Access

Netmaker EE includes fine-grained user and group permissions, a dashboard that segments users by permissions, and VPN login with OAuth (even 2FA):

  • Give users the ability to "log in" to your VPN with restricted access
  • Limit the number of machines users can have on the network
  • Enable remote access VPN scenarios
3

Relay

Netmaker EE enables Relay Nodes, which will automatically relay machines in hard-to-reach places. This creates better network health and can better fit certain network designs.
