Direct peers

• Tailscale: Tailscale provides a WireGuard-based zero-config VPN/zero-trust networking service for developers and enterprises, with similar NAT traversal, peer-to-peer connectivity, and a freemium + paid tier model. Direct head-to-head competitor in the developer-first ZTNA category.
• ngrok: ngrok provides secure tunnels that expose local services to the internet, used by developers for webhook testing, API exposure, and IoT connectivity. Directly comparable to Remote.It on developer-led secure tunneling and freemium distribution.
• ZeroTier: ZeroTier delivers software-defined peer-to-peer virtual networking for IoT, edge, and enterprise use cases, comparable to Remote.It on distributed device networking and NAT/CGNAT traversal. Competes head-to-head for IoT and embedded device connectivity.
• Twingate: Twingate offers a zero-trust network access replacement for legacy VPNs targeting mid-market and enterprise, with similar service-level connectivity positioning. Comparable in replacing VPN infrastructure with a software-defined, identity-based approach.
• Perimeter 81: Perimeter 81 is a Zero Trust Network as a Service platform targeting enterprises replacing VPNs, with comparable service-level secure access positioning. Competes for the same enterprise ZTNA displacement opportunity.
• NordLayer: NordLayer, by Nord Security, provides network access security with ZTNA, VPN replacement, and SASE elements for SMBs and enterprises. Comparable in offering VPN alternatives with managed zero-trust capabilities.

Broad incumbents

• Cloudflare Tunnel (Cloudflare Access): Cloudflare Tunnel and Cloudflare Access deliver zero-trust connectivity and application access as part of Cloudflare's massive edge network and broader security portfolio. Competes with Remote.It on tunnel-based ZTNA but bundles it within a much larger platform offering.
• TeamViewer: TeamViewer is a large incumbent in remote access, IoT connectivity, and remote support with Tensor/add-on products reaching into unattended device access. Different in being screen-sharing-centric, but increasingly overlapping on industrial IoT remote management use cases served by Remote.It.
• Cisco Secure Access (Duo/AnyConnect): Cisco's AnyConnect VPN and Duo/Cisco Secure Access provide enterprise ZTNA and VPN replacement as part of a broad networking and security portfolio. Competes for the same enterprise VPN-to-ZTNA transition budget that Remote.It targets.

Others

• Datadog (Network Performance Monitoring): Datadog provides network and infrastructure observability used alongside remote connectivity solutions. Adjacent in serving DevOps teams managing distributed infrastructure, but not a direct networking competitor.
