As two mainstream off-site networking tools, Aweseed and ZeroTier have their own unique advantages and characteristics. This will be from the access speed, ease of use, compliance and security protection dimensions, a comprehensive comparison of Aweseed and ZeroTier, designed to provide a reference for users to choose the right networking solutions.

Access speed: enjoy the experience, the Aweseed is better

Aweseed, when network conditions permit, it can easily realize remote networking and open P2P direct connection. Data transmission can directly go through the "VIP channel" and can easily run full bandwidth without passing through the transfer server. For example, both sides are telecom gigabit broadband. After networking, automatic P2P direct connection can easily run full upload and download bandwidth, delay can be about 10ms, and remote access delay can be as low as 2-3ms.

However, the official networking server of ZeroTier is abroad and has not been optimized for domestic lines. Networking equipment needs to communicate with the official server first. If the network conditions of both parties do not permit and P2P direct connection cannot be realized, data transmission will have to go through foreign transit servers. This is just like taking express delivery by detour, with slow speed and high uncertainty. Especially in some network environments, even direct access is impossible, which seriously affects the use experience.

Ease of use: Novice friendly, Aweseed easy to get started

Aweseed built an easy-to-use graphical client for users, supporting Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS and other operating systems.

The Aweseed provides users with a simple and intuitive graphical interface and a fully functional cloud management platform. Users only need to install a client on the device and log in to the same Aweray account to quickly realize networking without complicated settings. The Aweseed also provides detailed Chinese and multi-language documentation and tutorials, and official customer service and technical support teams are on standby to solve problems encountered during use.

ZeroTier is not friendly enough for ordinary users. Command-line tools deter many small white users. They need to enter commands on the command line to manage the network and members. For example, they need to enter "zerotier-cli join [network-id]" when joining the network. For users who are not familiar with command-line operations, this is undoubtedly an insurmountable threshold. Although there is also an interface, it is simple and intuitive, making it difficult for novices to get started quickly.

Security: multiple protection, Aweseed guard data

The Aweseed uses SD-WAN technology to encrypt the transmitted data throughout the process to ensure the security of the data in the public network environment. By establishing a private network, it avoids the direct exposure of LAN services and equipment to the public network environment, and reduces the risk of external attacks on the network. The remote terminal needs strict identity authentication to join the network, which further guarantees the security of the network.

Although ZeroTier also provides end-to-end encryption technology, because its servers are located overseas, data is stored and transmitted across borders, just like putting a baby in someone else's cellar, facing the risk of supervision by laws and regulations in different countries, and there is a hidden danger of data leakage or malicious use.

Compliance: Domestic self-research, Aweseed adaptation to the domestic environment

Aweseed, as a domestic self-research program, fully complies with domestic laws, regulations and regulatory requirements, and can well meet the compliance needs of enterprises for data security and privacy protection. For enterprises with higher data security requirements, Aweseed also supports private deployment, deploying data and servers in the internal network of enterprises, further enhancing data security and compliance.

The ZeroTier is not officially operated in China, and the official website interface and login method lack adaptation to the domestic environment. For example, the official website default English interface and quick login method only support Google and GitHub, which is extremely inconvenient for domestic users. If an enterprise or individual wants to build its own service, it needs to file a public network IP, if it uses a domain name to access it, which involves a large amount of materials and time costs, and needs to meet regulatory requirements in the future, which is extremely troublesome for both individual and enterprise users.

On the whole, Aweseed has shown obvious advantages over ZeroTier in terms of network access speed, ease of use, security, and compliance. Whether you are an enterprise user or an individual user, if you want to achieve an efficient, convenient and secure network connection, Aweseed is your better choice.
