Enables us to easily see users' device compliance as it continuously monitors the devices
Security is much better than the service that we were using before. The dashboard is much more user-friendly. It is easy to add users. I can easily see users' device compliance as it continuously monitors the devices. The speed of the connections is excellent. We have two gateways set up, one for the East Coast US and one for the West Coast. Both have excellent speed and the GoodAccess team allowed us to test several gateways to determine which worked best for us prior to locking in the gateways. With the prior service, the speed was so slow that users could not work while connected.

Integrates well, highly reliable, but lacking reporting
Pulse Client is used as a client VPN or an SSL VPN The most valuable feature of Pulse Client is integration with Google authenticator for two-factor authentication. Pulse Client could improve the reports. The reports are not in PDF and we can't check the details in the reports of users who are…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Their user interface is intuitive as it is easy to navigate."
"GoodAccess offers a very available professional support service - it can be via chat service, email, or phone."
"This simple, stable, affordable VPN solution scaled with us over the first year of use, allowing for an expansion of remote/hybrid workers to remotely access key systems otherwise restricted to our internal office network."
"The speed of the connections is excellent. We have two gateways set up, one for the East Coast US and one for West Coast. Both have excellent speed and the GoodAccess team allowed us to test several gateways to determine which worked best for us prior to locking in the gateways."
"GoodAccess VPN has brought a transformative shift to our organization, notably enhancing collaboration and enabling seamless remote work."
"GoodAccess simplified our infrastructure and how we interact with clients."
"GoodAccess is allowing us to give first-hand support and access to critical client systems, in a secure way."
"The task of managing security and auditing for unauthorized entries has been substantially diminished."
"The most valuable feature of Pulse Client is integration with Google authenticator for two-factor authentication."
"The scalability of Pulse Client is good."
"It also provides an auto-connect feature. When you turn on your laptop and put it on auto-connect, it automatically connects."
 

Cons

"Adding one user at a time to the package as compared to blocks of five would be helpful. Currently, we end up with empty seats on our plans."
"They need to provide a more comprehensive app that shows more data that appears on the GoodAccess site."
"The installable app's occasional bugs have caused disruptions for some users, impacting smooth usage."
"We are having a problem with accessing Microsoft Copilot while connected. GoodAccess is working on the issue, but fixing this will be a help to us. There is nothing else at the moment that we need to have improved for our usage."
"The latest upgrade to the Windows version of the app (unconfirmed on the Mac client) adds some unnecessary stylized animation to the GUI."
"The product could improve by extending its chat support beyond 8-5 CET, Monday to Friday, to a 24/7 service for better accessibility and immediate assistance."
"There could be a better view of which type of communication is going through the system."
"The logs do not go back very far."
"Ivanti Secure Access and Zscaler provide secure access to corporate networks, their methods and features may differ."
"Pulse Client could improve the system tokens for authentication."
"Pulse Client could improve the reports. The reports are not in PDF and we can't check the details in the reports of users who are using the VPNs."
