"It allows everyone to work from home. If no one could work from home, then we wouldn't have a company, especially now during COVID-19. It's mission-critical, especially since it's currently being used. If there is a problem with it, we would really be screwed. We would be hard-pressed because we would have to figure out what solution we're going to go with, how to deploy it, how long it would take to deploy it, and how we'd even get it on people's computers if we couldn't VPN to them. It would be near impossible to just change to a new VPN solution right now."

"The most valuable feature is that it is secure."
"The technical support is very responsive and fast"

"This is the best version we are using, however, if some changes can be made in the next release, I'd like to see adjustments to the time period and internet connectivity."
"When you need to create something, you have to follow many steps and I think that should be simplified."
"You have no ability to reserve a total number of licenses. The VPN user licenses are assigned per gateway, and if you enable MEP function is not so easy to size the gateway licenses."
"The ability to allow split-tunneling while still following our corporate policy needs to be on the table."
"In an environment with multiple cluster checkpoints, the global properties common to all clusters in some cases give problems."
"The non-standard setup is quite complex as you have to do changes via GUI and CLI."
"There is always room for innovation and the addition of new features."
"They could add more features, like the security to block off the doors, or create another hatch, something like this. They could make the features safer, add malware to make my mail and the Kryon system safer and to protect data at an earlier stage."
"Its interface could be made a lot easier. It is very kludgy."
"Technical support could be improved."
"It's extremely complicated and it's not intuitive. The solution requires a lot of training to get going on it."
"I would like to see improved logging because it doesn't keep much information for the session monitoring or historical sessions."
"We are currently looking at automation. It would be good if there is some way to automate it in a fast way. It should be easy to automate. It also has some security issues."
"As Citrix Gateway is a third party solution, we wish to have one which is more integrated and involves less administration."
"The solution has unnecessary limitations."
"Their VAS product should be more productive because right now, we are using other VAS solutions but not using this one."
