Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution has good performance.""It's an ideal gateway solution for small and medium businesses, i.e., around 300 devices can be easily handled."

More Netgate TNSR Pros →

More Barracuda SSL VPN Pros →

"It's a very convenient and user-friendly application.""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 new UI that they are providing right now is very good.""The tool's most valuable feature is remote access.""The most valuable feature is being able to securely connect and use virtual desktops.""Ivanti secures access to the corporate network from various devices and locations.""From an end-user perspective, the setup phase is easy.""VPN tunneling is a very valuable feature of Pulse Connect Secure. I also like that it is straightforward to use, and you can see traffic logs on it."

Cons
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."

More Netgate TNSR Cons →

"There could be more security features included in the product.""Barracuda should find other ways to stir up interest about this product.""Reporting could be improved.""Since it's not going to be getting any more software updates as per the end of this year, we have to move off to a different product.."

More Barracuda SSL VPN Cons →

"Zero test FDP (Fraud Protection and Prevention) should be improved.""The stability could be better. There are sometimes bugs in the system.""The product's price is an area where improvements are required.""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.""There is room for improvement. I'm concerned about the frequent vulnerabilities identified. As a security product, the number of vulnerabilities is concerning.""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 user experience has room for improvement.""The product could use additional dashboards."
