The number one ranked Enterprise Infrastructure VPN solution according to PeerSpot users is Fortinet FortiClient.
Valued Feature: Security
Ganesh S., Information Security Engineer at a healthcare company, says, "It is a fantastic product. Its overall security is valuable. We are very impressed with the web filtering and the application firewall it provides."
Another user, who is a SOC Expert at a computer software company, agrees. “This solution allows developers and programmers to connect endpoint users with security.”
Suggested Improvement: More Frequent Updates
Martin Y., Senior Network Consultant at a financial services firm, suggests, “Not too many releases have been made. The latest concerned version seven. The one before it, six, was around for a long time. From the client's perspective, there has not been released anything which fully stacks up against Cisco. There should be more frequent releases or updates. The solution can initially be a pain for new users and may take around two weeks for one to properly familiarize himself with it. “
#2 Prisma Access by Palo Alto Networks
PeerSpot users rank Prisma Access by Palo Alto Networks the number two Enterprise Infrastructure VPN Solution.
Valued Feature: Traffic Analysis/Threat Protection
PeerSpot user Tejas J., Sr. Cloud Security Architect at a computer software company, tells us, “It provides traffic analysis, threat prevention, URL filtering, and segmentation. Its usage for segmentation is less because we are also using their firewalls. On the transport side, we are using SD-WAN. We cannot do away with any of these features simply because we expect this platform to provide Next-Gen filtering capabilities. URL filtering is definitely important because we don't want to buy another dedicated solution. Threat prevention is like antivirus and anti-spyware, and all IPS functionalities are absolutely mandatory for us. Technically, it does everything that a typical Next-Gen firewall is supposed to do, but it does that in the cloud. So, you get all the scalability and visibility. We absolutely want all these features, and that perhaps was one of the reasons why we went for Prisma Access instead of another product.”
Another user, who is a Manager Network Engineering at a computer software company, agrees, "The solution also provides traffic analysis, threat prevention, URL filtering, and segmentation. That combination is important because it enhances the protection and makes the traffic more secure. It also keeps things more up-to-date, enabling us to deal with more of the current threats."
Suggested Improvement: Needs SD-WAN Capabilities
PeerSpot user Dhananjay B., Network Security Engineer at a tech services company. suggests, “I haven't seen any SD-WAN configuration capability. If Prisma Access would support SD-WAN, that would help. There are some trending technologies in networking with SD-WAN. SD-WAN is nothing more than optimizing your WAN. SD-WAN devices should be able to reach Prisma Access, and Palo Alto should support different, vendor-specific devices, not just Palo Alto devices, for SD-WAN configuration.”
#3 Check Point Remote Access VPN
The number three ranked Enterprise Infrastructure VPN Solution according to PeerSpot user reviews is Check Point Remote Access VPN.
Valued Feature: Control Traffic
PeerSpot user, Alex T., Cyber Security Manager at H2O Power, shares, “The unified platform view is great. Being able to manage NGFW alongside our Remote Access Policies allows us to control traffic in one way. Be it if our users are at home or in the office the same policy applies to them allowing us to have one corporate view on the traffic within our organization. Being able to integrate the policy with things like Active Directory groups, Azure cloud objects, RADIUS integration, and load balancing capabilities is wonderful. All of these things are built into their NGFW policy which we leverage to implement on our Remote Access policy.“
Fausto G., Especialista Certificado en Administración de Servicios de Tecnología de la Información at AZZAIT, supports this idea, "We have more control over the activity that users have on the internal network, thanks to the monitoring offered by Check Point and the security provided by the gateway."
Suggested Improvement: Better Integrations
Oleg P., Senior Network/Security Engineer at Skywind Group, suggests, “The Compliance software blade is available only for the Windows operating systems family, so no macOS security checks are implemented and performed. This is valid for at least software version E82.30, which we currently use. In addition, there is no full client of the Check Point Remote Access VPN available for the Linux operating systems families. That is important since some of our administrators prefer to use this OS even on their home PCs. We hope that Check Point would develop a client for Linux in the future.
#4 Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client
PeerSpot users have ranked Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client the number four Enterprise Infrastructure VPN Solution.
Valued Feature: Easy to use
A PeerSpot user who is a Specialist in Electronic Document Management & Data Mining at an energy/utilities company tells us, “This solution allows me to connect to my office network seamlessly. I have yet to have any issues with it.”
A SOC Expert at a computer software company agrees, “It's a tight solution. It's easy to use and secure. The product is a stable solution that helps avoid leaks cases. The solution scales well. The installation process is not difficult. “
Suggested Improvement: More Transparency
A Technical program manager at a manufacturing company, suggests,” Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client could improve by optimizing the use of the system resources, it is heavy on the resources. Additionally, there could be more transparency.”
#5 Perimeter 81
The number five ranked Enterprise Infrastructure VPN Solution according to PeerSpot users is Perimeter 81.
Valued Feature: Fast Connection
A PeerSpot user who is an Underwriter at GraceKennedy relates, “It connects quickly and stays connected. The user interface is pretty neat too. The app has in-house support with user guides that give you step-by-step walkthroughs on navigating the app. In addition, there is a live chat feature that offers prompt assistance on the go."
Another user agrees: “The Perimeter 81 VPN is fast and secure. It also is very easy to use, with a simple yet elegant UI. I like how this software will automatically turn on my VPN and connect whenever I hop on my machine. The Always On VPN really can't be beaten.
While I'm using this service, I never even notice that I'm using it (due to the overall performance of the program), which is really what you want when you're using a VPN. This has to be the most valuable part of this software, along with the user-friendly interface.”
Suggested Improvement: Login Instance
F. Nunez, Release Manager at Copado, suggests, “In order to have to bypass the login using the website, a good feature for Perimeter 81 to have is a login instance in the Perimeter 81 application. I'm using a Mac and we don't have that functionality. I'm using a Mac and we don't have that functionality. On the other hand, in order to connect with an application, we could have the opportunity to use a Google Chrome application/extension. That will make it easy to use and we can skip situations related to admin permissions in order to install the application on some laptops and computers.
