Everyone said it was an upgrade. So we moved 50 devices from ZeroTier to Twingate. The marketing is compelling. The reality is a list of trade-offs.
The good: The admin console is cleaner. User onboarding for non-techies is marginally better. That's about it.
The bad: Latency increased. The magic 'internet overlay' isn't so magic. Certain legacy apps that didn't care about ZeroTier's layer 2 saw timeouts. Twingate's connector model is a single point of failure unless you pay for more. And the audit logs? Basic. Try getting a raw feed for your SIEM without jumping through hoops.
It works, if your definition of 'works' is a prettier UI with more potential bottlenecks. The exit strategy back to something self-hosted is now a project, not a config change.
Doubt everything
