Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Citrix, Ivanti and others in SSL VPN."From an end-user perspective, the setup phase is easy."
"The stability of the product is its most valuable feature."
"The most valuable features of Pulse Connect Secure are multi-factor authentications, and VPNs and SSL VPNs we are using."
"This is a very secure and stable tool."
"It's quite stable."
"It is customer-friendly. It is quite easy for our users to connect. There is also the flexibility of the features."
"I like the host checker, which thoroughly checks the security posture of the machine before allowing access. I also like application-based access and its seamless operations."
"The most valuable feature is being able to securely connect and use virtual desktops."
"One of the biggest advantages of Microsoft Intune is that it brings the management of Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and even Linux under a single pane of glass."
"The stability of Microsoft Intune is good."
"Remote Wipe and Autopilot is one of the best features."
"The solution has reduced the risk of security breaches by 30%."
"The many policies available in Microsoft Intune for managing our devices are valuable."
"The main advantage is that Intune performs its intended functions effectively."
"The most valuable includes managing everything from a single console."
"The ability to send configurations to our systems is valuable, particularly as we don't have a regular Windows AD server. Our current environment doesn't have a Windows AD, which limits our ability to push GPOs. However, this is where the solution can step in and help us push policies."
"At the moment, Pulse Connect Secure is a pretty good solution, and I don't see any issues with it. Currently, I'm not aware of a new or additional feature that's needed in Pulse Connect Secure, but it would be good if the team could look at how the speed of connection could be increased. Though it's quite seamless and I didn't face any problem with the speed, it would be better to improve the speed and keep going forward, especially as the industry's changing and people would love connections to be a lot faster."
"We want to switch to another solution because there are some challenges with the support from Pulse. The quality of documentation is also not good. It is sometimes very hard to find documentation that provides a solution and describes how all this works."
"Pulse Connect Secure could improve the reporting, it is lacking in detail and should take the report automatically."
"Ivanti Connect Secure needs to have faster connections. It also needs to improve the stability."
"I would like the solution to be more secure and compatible. It also needs to improve integration with other systems."
"The user experience has room for improvement."
"Setup is complex. A few users had some issues with it."
"The product's price is an area where improvements are required."
"We need the capabilities of the Cloud Management Gateway (CMG) to be enhanced through Intune instead of Azure."
"Microsoft Intune's support for Mac devices is lacking and could be improved."
"I would like to see micro VPN. I like the way that some of the other providers have done something similar where, as you open that app on an end-point device, it creates a micro VPN straight into your device, which is quite a nice little feature. Also, Microsoft Intune relies heavily on its fellow products in the suite. It would be nice if Microsoft Intune could stand on its own two feet."
"It's the granularity: 'Is your firewall on? Is BitLocker on?' It's not amazing granularity. But I've looked into other products, like Duo, and they're all similar."
"It would be better if I could integrate it with my core group policy. I would like to have a group policy in my current environment, which has strict control, but those things are still missing. Although it has maximum compliance and security, it's not available on-premise."
"Once it's configured it is unobtrusive, but it does take some hands-on to configure and deploy it properly."
"It would be nice to have a location tracker for the mobile device management tool. I'm not sure if it exists but hasn't been configured or if it's missing, but we've been unable to utilize the location features."
"Regarding mobile devices, Intune is good, but there are other services that I would say are ahead of Intune from an administration and reporting point of view."
