Johan Derycke

Network Security Engineer at a tech services company with 1,001-5,000 employees

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.

Frederic Soulier

Deputy Head of IT at a legal firm with 501-1,000 employees

Efficient technical support with good synchronization features, but it needs better security

We would like to be to secure access to all of the servers for all of the internal workers and engineers. We would like to have tools that provide us with security for our servers. I would like to see an improved repository to better see the users. We have a new project that requires a lot of security we will not continue with SecureLink. The security features offered in SecureLink are not enough.

Pros

"It is customer-friendly. It is quite easy for our users to connect. There is also the flexibility of the features."

"The best feature of Pulse Connect Secure is the good security it provides. It gives a secure connection to your network."

More Ivanti Connect Secure pros

"The most valuable feature is synchronizing the limited access for partners or sub-contractors."

Cons

"Ivanti Connect Secure needs to have faster connections. It also needs to improve the stability."

"The solution must be more user-friendly."

"Zero test FDP (Fraud Protection and Prevention) should be improved."

"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 could use additional dashboards."

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

"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."

More Ivanti Connect Secure cons

"The security features offered in SecureLink are not enough."

"The cost of the product is high, but worth it because of the utility and great product support."

"I rate the product price a six to seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price."

"A license is required for you to use Pulse Connect Secure, but I'm not aware of how much it costs."

"Pulse Connect Secure is relatively cost-effective."

"The price of Pulse Connect Secure is expensive."

"The pricing for Pulse Connect Secure is not low and not high, so it's good. It's a six out of ten for me, price-wise."

"We are not happy with the recent increase in the price."
