What it really isTruGrid SecureRDP — Zero Trust VPN-free remote access to Windows desktops and apps.
Our takeTruGrid replaces the VPN+MFA+RDP stack with a single cloud-authenticated, Zero Trust gateway that keeps corporate networks invisible to the internet.
TruGrid is a Secure Remote Desktop / DaaS connectivity product targeting IT teams and MSPs. Pricing is tiered: a flat $12/mo Basic entry and $15/user/mo for Business (20-user minimum).
Why we rate itSame-day deployment with built-in MFA, Zero Trust enforcement, and compliance hooks (PCI, HIPAA) make TruGrid a credible VPN replacement for lean IT teams at a price far below legacy RDP brokers.
The catchBusiness tier requires a 20-user minimum, so small teams either stick with the single-user Basic plan or overpay.
Mobile client maturity has historically lagged the desktop experience, and the platform is Windows-centric with limited cross-OS reach.

Best / not good for

Best for
  • IT admins replacing legacy VPN + RDP setups
  • MSPs managing multi-tenant Windows environments
  • Compliance-driven orgs (HIPAA, PCI, cyber-insurance requirements)
Not good for
  • Teams needing cross-platform remote access beyond Windows
  • Very small teams under 20 users who need scalable per-user pricing
  • Organizations looking for full remote-support or screen-share tooling
Trade-offs

Friction report

Trade-offs to know before signing up.

  1. Time to value
    Fast: same-day deployment with no firewall changes; cloud auth is provisioned in minutes.
  2. Scale breakpoint
    Per-user cost at 20+ users on Business tier accumulates; MSP pricing requires a direct conversation, adding a sales-cycle delay at scale.
  3. Walled garden
    Moderate: tightly coupled to Windows/Active Directory/Azure AD; migrating away requires re-provisioning all user auth flows.
Still a fit?
If none of these block you, try it on the official site.
