Alternative to VPN Gateway and Express route to establish connectivity between on-prem and Azure cloud

Hi Team,

We are having a requirement to establish connectivity between on-prem servers with VMs hosted on Azure.

What we know is there are two options that Azure provides to achieve the same

  • VPN Gateways

  • Express route

What we wanted to know - Are there any other option that can facilitate connectivity that is cost effective ?

Thank you

@HatimAliJohar-5965 Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A.

I understand that you are looking for alternatives to S2S VPN and Azure ER (Express Route) to connect your on-premise to Azure VMs. The only alternate options are as follows:

  1. Connect them directly over the internet which does not provide the security and efficiency of S2S or ER connections.

  2. P2S VPN which connects individual clients to Azure Vnet in a secure connection. Here are more details regarding the same.

  3. You can also use custom VPN installed on a VM in Azure from the Azure Marketplace which can be customizable as needed. Here is an example VPN device from the Azure Marketplace- https://azuremarketplace.microsoft.com/en-us/marketplace/apps/cohesive.vns3_4x_network_security?tab=overview

Thank you @SaiKishor-MSFT for briefing on alternate options, I think option 1 and 3 are more feasible alternatives from your list.
