Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Citrix, Ivanti and others in SSL VPN."The product is easy to use."
"VPN tunneling is a very valuable feature of Pulse Connect Secure. I also like that it is straightforward to use, and you can see traffic logs on it."
"The tool's most valuable feature is remote access."
"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."
"The most valuable features of the solution are reliability and uptime."
"Ivanti secures access to the corporate network from various devices and locations."
"The flexibility in their management is great."
"From an end-user perspective, the setup phase is easy."
"There are so many features, but Windows Autopilot is one of the features that are very valuable for most customers."
"We have not experienced any bugs or glitches with this solution."
"I haven't used other mobile device management solutions, but compared to SCCM, we eliminate a lot of on-premises infrastructure and maintenance by using Intune."
"It is helpful for managing devices anytime and any place without requiring dependency on the local networks."
"The solution is easy to use, simple to understand for those new to using it, and combined with the other Microsoft products it makes for an overall good package."
"The conditional access policies that we set up are very useful."
"One of the main features of the solution is it allows the management of many devices in different ways."
"The Microsoft Windows Autopilot and Defender policies are the most valuable features of this solution."
"Setup is complex. A few users had some issues with it."
"There is room for improvement. I'm concerned about the frequent vulnerabilities identified. As a security product, the number of vulnerabilities is concerning."
"Connection-wise, Pulse Connect Secure could be faster, and this is its area for improvement."
"The product could use additional dashboards."
"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."
"I would like the solution to be more secure and compatible. It also needs to improve integration with other systems."
"The solution can be improved by addressing the failure to connect on public 2-step networks."
"The user experience has room for improvement."
"One area for improvement is app deployment. Another is the Windows update rollout. If you're rolling out an object to a device that's offline, Intune stops trying to reach this device after it sits idle for a bit. We are forced to find a workaround that could help manage that."
"Microsoft Intune could enhance its patch management for various devices, ensuring regular updates and tracking of device privileges."
"I'm still playing around with it and haven't had any issues with the product yet, but support can definitely be improved."
"It doesn't economize when you scale up. We have over 14,000 employees, and we have between 7,500 and 8,000 city-owned or personal devices being used to conduct city business. Its price can be improved. It is not a cheap solution."
"I have a lot of Apple products in my environment. It would be nice to have an improved integration of Apple products with Microsoft Intune without Jam."
"The reports that are generated aren't so great. They don't give a lot of meaning so far, but that could be down to user knowledge than the actual reporting side of things. I'm not a big user of it, but I was a bigger user of MaaS360, and we used to be able to run weekly and monthly reports. In the case of any deviations. we'd get a warning immediately. That's not so easy to do or to get in place for Intune. This could be just a user issue, but when I compare both, that's the only thing that's lacking for me."
"I think there should be a better tracking of the cell phones used on the Intune."
"It just doesn't handle software updates well at all by itself. You need to be a scripting wizard to make those happen properly, or you use third-party tools. The Windows feature updates are very difficult to implement. I would like to see a proprietary built-in remote control tool. I know that they have Team Viewer integrated, but it is not seamless. It would be nice if they had a seamless remote desktop capability directly from the Intune console."
