"It works perfectly for me. It is very user-friendly in terms of the configuration and the setup process."
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."
"Pulse Connect Secure could improve the reporting, it is lacking in detail and should take the report automatically."
"The support team of the product needs improvement. Sometimes we have issues with multiple authentications, but there is no help from the support team."
"The product could use additional dashboards."
"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."
"Zero test FDP (Fraud Protection and Prevention) should be improved."
"An area for improvement in Pulse Connect Secure is the concurrent connections, particularly needing a license if you want to use Pulse Connect Secure with your Microsoft or Windows machine."
"The product's price is an area where improvements are required."
"Ivanti Connect Secure needs to have faster connections. It also needs to improve the stability."
"It isn't stabilized on the first day, and you need to set up the channels properly."
"Their technical support could be better. If you don't have a support contract, it takes longer."
"Connectivity could be improved in Microsoft Azure VPN Gateway because it's not as stable, particularly when connecting a device tunnel."
"Make it completely routable, for example, if I have a gateway, I should be able to connect to whatever network I want on either side of the gateway, and the gateway should figure out which packet goes where."
"They should release a less expensive version of the solution."
"The marketing material in the portal is not very user-friendly."
"Microsoft Azure VPN Gateway could improve by providing IPS zero-day threat protection. For example, the IPS zero-day threat protection can monitor the user behavior to protect the infrastructure. The solution can only be used as a VPN, it is lacking features."
"In future releases, I would like to see the ability to inject BGP routes."
