The hype cycle for "Zero Trust" network overlays is something else. We ran Perimeter 81 for about 18 months. The agent was a constant resource hog, and their support's answer was always "reinstall." The final straw was trying to get reliable logs for SLO compliance. Their logging felt like an afterthought—good luck piping those events into your SIEM without a headache.
Switched to Twingate last quarter. The migration itself was straightforward; their connector model is simpler. But the pain was in the details. All our access policies had to be rebuilt from scratch—no sane export/import. Had to reconcile every resource and group manually. Took the team three solid days. The win? Agent overhead is negligible, and the logs are clean JSON we can actually use. The migration cost, though? That's the hidden tax for buying into a shiny platform that becomes a pain to leave.
