Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"In this version 9.1, lots of changes are done for the dashboard, User Store etc.""Other than it provides us with remote access, so it's fairly easy to install, fairly easy to set up, and provides us the ability to get into our corporate environment.""It's a good tool. It's pretty straightforward.""It is easy to use.""It offers more platform support, like Apple, Android, and Microsoft.""The two-factor authentication is most definitely valuable and moves us closer to being able to check off those important boxes for compliance.""Cloud-based service and management.""The tool has been very stable, in my experience.

Cons
"Maybe Symantec could consider providing a step-by-step guide for first-time users.""In the next release, I would like the ability to work offline with remote access.""I would like to see the solution meet the integration needs at our company...Improving the solution's integration feature would be beneficial.""It gets out of sync with Active Directory or whatever it might be, whatever the authentication piece is on Active Directory, and they just reset it on the backend. I never have to contact the vendor.""The User Store synchronization part needs to improve. Also, the logs, reports, and dashboard can be improved.""If they had dashboards or a report for managers or executives, then it would allow them to see the status and have it make sense to them.""The gateway server is a RADIUS server, but it lacks the functionality of returning RADIUS attributes other than those that are required for the gateway to authenticate the users.""Every time that I have a new phone or computer, it takes a little longer to deploy it."

"Lacks the ability to integrate network monitoring solutions and authenticate the app users.""There's a dependency on Microsoft Azure.""SafeNet's reporting and monitoring features could be improved."
