"The command feature is valuable.""The technical support services are excellent.""It's basic functionality is probably the most valuable feature.""It's much faster to deploy a power source. If you need to deploy a firewall in the cloud of software, it's much easier and much faster than deploying the office firewall in a rush.""The features we found most valuable are using the IDS and IPS during protection. The application filtering feature is great.""The initial setup was very straightforward. There was no problem. The initial deployment took about one hour.""The pricing is reasonable.""It is deployed on the customer site, and we manage the firewalls on this side."

Cons
"It would be better to connect to an application portal from any device. Documentation and support could be better.""One thing that kind of sticks out to me is the ability to do a proper non-split tunnel. VPN tunnel-wise, it is not really a true unsplit tunnel, but I think that's just because of the way it's designed. A split VPN basically allows your system to talk to other systems without being forced down the tunnel. A VPN running in a non-split tunnel mode forces all the traffic down the tunnel to wherever you're VPNing to. It forces the traffic down so that the traffic is subject to the firewall and rules that you have in your corporate environment and such. It helps to prevent remote malicious folks that may be talking directly to that box from piggybacking into the corporate environment through it. They do it partially, but it would be nice to see more of an enterprise-level solution there.""The user interface should be improved as it is not very easy to work with the updates.""On the cloud, when you make some changes, it may be difficult.""One limitation is that it's harder to provide access to multiple applications in the company with Appgate, but that's probably because of poor management.""They could provide a single-box solution to manage tools for 4000 users. Additionally, they could add extra features to enhance remote micro connection."

More Appgate SDP Cons →

"VPN access is an area that needs improvement.""The solution can be improved by allowing automatic updates for the OS devices.""In the next release, I would like to see improvements made to the GUI because it isn't very good.""We worked with Cisco's support and Juniper's support and there are some differences, to be honest, Cisco is more available and is more competent at addressing our cases.""We experienced some technical issues during implementation""The reporting can be improved.""It could use more tutorials.""Fortinet is more user friendly than Juniper. In terms of remote access, I actually prefer using Fortinet. It's much easier to configure."
