WZ-IT relies on NetBird

Our NetBird Implementation

At WZ-IT, we use NetBird as the backbone of our entire IT infrastructure to manage customer systems, establish network boundaries, and isolate systems effectively.

Through integration with Zitadel as our authentication provider, user management becomes exceptionally simple. We also support Keycloak integration and secure everything with hardware keys for maximum security.

With NetBird, we only need a single VPN solution to manage our entire infrastructure efficiently and securely - demonstrating the power and flexibility of this open-source solution.

What do our customers say?

"

Timo and Robin from WZ-IT set up a RocketChat server for us - and I couldn't be more satisfied! From the initial consultation to the final implementation, everything was absolutely professional, efficient, and to my complete satisfaction. I particularly appreciate the clear communication, transparent pricing, and the comprehensive expertise that both bring to the table. Even after the setup, they take care of the maintenance, which frees up my time enormously and allows me to focus on other important areas of my business - with the good feeling that our IT is in the best hands. I can recommend WZ-IT without reservation and look forward to continuing our collaboration! (translated)
