Sangfor EasyConnect vs Tailscale

Sangfor EasyConnect provides remote access to Windows desktops, applications, and business systems. Organizations can use it to connect employees, branches, partners, and customers to internal resources such as OA, ERP, CRM, and project management systems, with access governed by assigned permissions. When an enterprise deploys an application server and EasyConnect device, the service can send live images of running applications to client devices through a secure tunnel. Supported platforms include Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS, and web browsers; the product also lists virtual portals and application single sign-on. Sangfor describes protections that include encryption, multiple authentication methods, identity and data safeguards, permission controls, and auditing. Its SSL VPN gateway can establish a tunnel through a browser. Organizations can deploy EasyConnect in a hybrid model, and Sangfor lists 24/7 online support alongside documentation, tickets, community resources, and security advisories. Pricing is on request.

Tailscale is a zero-config VPN for connecting users and devices across a network. It uses WireGuard to form low-latency peer-to-peer connections, which Tailscale says are end-to-end encrypted so it cannot read users’ traffic. Administrators can use access control lists to specify which users may connect to which devices. Supported identity providers handle authentication, and SCIM supports user and group provisioning. Monitoring features include configuration audit logs, network flow logs, webhooks, and log streaming to SIEM partners. Device posture information can be used in connectivity rules. Taildrop transfers files between devices, while node sharing lets users share a node without exposing it to the public internet. The service runs on Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, web, and Windows. Personal is free forever for non-commercial use and supports up to six users; Standard costs $8 per user per month. Premium costs $18 per user per month and includes priority support.
