Cons
"When we go to print, we have to go through secure print. The secure printing kind of takes a while. It is a little latent.""INGPU for engineering software is an area of improvement."

More Citrix Secure Workspace Access Cons →

"The support can be more efficient. Google has different layers of support, like layer one, layer two, and layer three, but normally, the response from layer one is not very useful.""As an individual developer, I would like Google Cloud IAP to offer more flexibility, especially for smaller-scale usage.""I think that the solution needs to be made available in a local region of every country, especially in countries like Taiwan.""The hard part is creating the pack because our applications are in Azure Data Proxy, Data Fabric, and Data Factory. Our team used these tools in Azure, but in the future, they will transition to GCP.""The initial setup was quite complex.""The solution is a bit complex and could be made easier to use.""The product’s user interface must be more user-friendly and detailed.""The platform’s stability and scalability need improvement."

  • More Citrix Secure Workspace Access Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "I think that the cost is metered based on the data, but I don't have the details."

    Overview

    Access control is a fundamental component of data security that dictates who’s allowed to access and use company information and resources. Through authentication and authorization, access control policies make sure users are who they say they are and that they have appropriate access to company data. Access control can also be applied to limit physical access to campuses, buildings, rooms, and data centers.

    Google’s mission is to organize the world‘s information and make it universally accessible and useful.

    Since our founding in 1998, Google has grown by leaps and bounds. From offering search in a single language we now offer dozens of products and services—including various forms of advertising and web applications for all kinds of tasks—in scores of languages. And starting from two computer science students in a university dorm room, we now have thousands of employees and offices around the world. A lot has changed since the first Google search engine appeared. But some things haven’t changed: our dedication to our users and our belief in the possibilities of the Internet itself.
