Very user friendly but configurations can be a bit complex

We use the solution to access company information via the cloud. The solution is very user friendly. Configurations can be a bit complex. I have been using the solution for two years. The solution is stable. Technical support is very helpful so I rate them a seven out of ten. Neutral…

Reliable remote access and tunneling enhance work efficiency, but upgrade processes need improvement

Ivanti needs improvement in its seamless upgrade and migration procedures, particularly with the browser components, which are fragile and sometimes cause issues depending on the Windows version, the browser version, and the different modules being used. On the client side, browser-initiated sessions are complex and require a more robust approach for non-admin users.

Cons

"Configurations can be a bit complex."

"Pulse Connect Secure could improve by having better integration with NAC solutions, such as Cisco ClearPass integration with Pulse Connect Secure. Additionally, they need better integration with Microsoft Azure AD and Azure Authenticator."

"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."

"The solution can be improved by addressing the failure to connect on public 2-step networks."

"The stability could be better. There are sometimes bugs in the system."

"The solution must be more user-friendly."

"User experience and after-sales support could be better. For example, over the last couple of years, when this COVID scenario was going on, there were multiple attacks on these types of solutions. SQL has been attacked numerous times, and there were a lot of vulnerabilities, and our customers had to update and upgrade the devices every two weeks or every month. This was a headache. It could also be more scalable."

"The product's price is an area where improvements are required."

"Setup is complex. A few users had some issues with it."
