Find out what your peers are saying about Palo Alto Networks, Zscaler, Cisco and others in ZTNA as a Service."The flexibility of the tool is valuable. It is very robust. It has a very robust configuration capability."
"The simplicity of the SDP platform is a standout feature; instead of navigating through intricate details, users can seamlessly connect to the company's network or switch to the internet with minimal effort."
"One of the most important features is stopping lateral movement across our network."
"It is a scalable solution...The support answers your questions very fast."
"It is pretty stable."
"The interface is really friendly. It's simple to understand."
"It is much easier to scale and troubleshoot compared to regular Windows-based VPN solutions or PPTP daemon."
"I have set the default routes to the VPN server so that all traffic is encrypted."
"It allows our employees to work remotely across Mac, Windows, and Linux platforms."
"It was very easy to set up users."
"The most valuable feature of OpenVPN is that it is open source. I can do anything with the solution, such as change, build, and collect. Additionally, it is safe to use the solution and there are frequent updates."
"We use the solution to access remote services."
"The product’s adaptability is valuable."
"I like that it's free."
"They could provide a single-box solution to manage tools for 4000 users. Additionally, they could add extra features to enhance remote micro connection."
"It would be better to connect to an application portal from any device. Documentation and support could be better."
"The user interface should be improved as it is not very easy to work with the updates."
"One limitation is that it's harder to provide access to multiple applications in the company with Appgate, but that's probably because of poor management."
"On the cloud, when you make some changes, it may be difficult."
"One thing that kind of sticks out to me is the ability to do a proper non-split tunnel. VPN tunnel-wise, it is not really a true unsplit tunnel, but I think that's just because of the way it's designed. A split VPN basically allows your system to talk to other systems without being forced down the tunnel. A VPN running in a non-split tunnel mode forces all the traffic down the tunnel to wherever you're VPNing to. It forces the traffic down so that the traffic is subject to the firewall and rules that you have in your corporate environment and such. It helps to prevent remote malicious folks that may be talking directly to that box from piggybacking into the corporate environment through it. They do it partially, but it would be nice to see more of an enterprise-level solution there."
"I think right now the GUI part of it is locked out behind the pay wall. It could use something that gives it a very basic, minimal, graphic interface for logging in, for the community version. That would probably be a good step forward."
"The connections could be faster and more stable."
"It could include a configuration wizard so that users who do not follow instructions well can configure a connection."
"They may have this already, but it would be nice to be able to get more notifications if a site drops unexpectedly."
"When there are too many concurrent users trying to connect at the same time, there may be a bit of a bottleneck."
"I would like to see continued advanced security implementation."
"There is always room for more security features."
"Working on a faster connection might be a good idea for the product's next release."
