Twingate vs OptiDrop

Twingate is the most secure way to provide encrypted, least privileged access to any cloud (AWS, Azure or Google Cloud Platform) or on-premise application or resource. Twingate allows you to secure all access regardless of device platform or network. Far more secure than VPN, and using either your company’s identity provider or public identity authorities for authentication, Twingate allows you to remotely access any private application without exposing any public IPs. Twingate’s network performance is exceptional, access to private resources is audited, and you can enable 2FA/MFA on any resource with zero application changes required.
