Cons
"They could provide a single-box solution to manage tools for 4000 users. Additionally, they could add extra features to enhance remote micro connection.""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."

More Appgate SDP Cons →

"The solution can be a bit pricey.""As Citrix Gateway is a third party solution, we wish to have one which is more integrated and involves less administration.""Its interface could be made a lot easier. It is very kludgy.""The initial setup is very complex.""Sometimes the input-output has issues.""Lacks access through a mobile device.""As an organization, our initiative is to move to the cloud, Citrix Gateway needs to improve its cloud capabilities and make the cloud solution more robust.""I'd like to see support for reverse proxy and more security features."

  • "I believe the pricing is comparable to SaaS"

  • "There are two or three different models, but you can actually have a CapEx where you purchase the unit outright and then there's a yearly maintenance cost on top for years two and three, and four, or you can actually do a subscription purchase through Citrix cloud and you pay on a monthly basis, or you can have a three-year subscription contract as well. I give the solution a six out of ten for its cost."
