Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Citrix, Ivanti and others in SSL VPN."This is a very secure and stable tool."
"The best feature of Pulse Connect Secure is the good security it provides. It gives a secure connection to your network."
"It's a very convenient and user-friendly application."
"What I like the most about Pulse Connect Secure is that it's user-friendly. It's easy to use. You just need to connect, and that's it."
"Pulse Connect Secure is a stable solution."
"The new UI that they are providing right now is very good."
"The product is easy to use."
"The solution helps with principal decisions. It also helps with the security and configuration of many technologies."
"For our office workers who are not based in Norway, when we order the PC, we can do some of the settings for them. These are standardized settings. We can set them up exactly as they are in Norway so that they're the same."
"...Intune itself integrates with that entire Microsoft ecosystem. As an individual product itself, it's okay. It holds up. But when you start saying "I've bought this as part of a wider solution, as a company we are going Microsoft throughout," then it makes more sense to have Microsoft Intune... so you have that single dashboard."
"Autopilot is the most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune."
"The stability is good."
"Its security is most valuable. It gives us a way to secure devices, not only those that are steady. We do have a few tablets and other devices, and it is a way for us to secure these devices and manage them. We know they're out there and what's their status. We can manage their life cycle and verify that they're updated properly."
"Fortunately, now everything is streamlined into a single, unified platform."
"It's easy to manage."
"There has been a noticeable increase in productivity for both my organization and clients."
"I don't have any downsides to report about the product at this time."
"This solution normally works but at times, we have had trouble with connectivity."
"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."
"Pulse Connect Secure could improve the reporting, it is lacking in detail and should take the report automatically."
"The solution can be improved by addressing the failure to connect on public 2-step networks."
"The product could use additional dashboards."
"Pulse Connect Secure could improve by having better integration with NAC solutions, such as Cisco ClearPass integration with Pulse Connect Secure. Additionally, they need better integration with Microsoft Azure AD and Azure Authenticator."
"Connection-wise, Pulse Connect Secure could be faster, and this is its area for improvement."
"It would really be helpful to have the option to manage server operating systems as well, like Windows Server, at least. That way, we could scrap the use of SCCM, which requires a lot of on-premises infrastructure."
"It would be great if Intune offered better data protection controls for BYOD Windows PCs."
"I would like some integration with the Microsoft reporting platform Power BI."
"I think that there is room for improvement with the reporting. If this is done, it will be a better product."
"The pricing can be expensive if you are not combining it with other products."
"We faced issues with macOS support. The product should have better inventory and asset management."
"It needs incorporation of Knox, ZeroTouch, etc."
"The main disadvantage seen today is regarding Linux clients. We have a lot of development resources that have Linux on their clients, and we can't manage them on the same platform, as we do with other clients such as macOS and Windows. So, it should have support for Linux clients. It should also have better support for macOS."
