Pros
"The most valuable feature for us is the ability to use Active Directory groups as virtual containers instead of domains because it means that we can control our access groups better."

"The VPN we are using is good and working quite well.""It's a good tool. It's pretty straightforward.""The product is useful for providing user access from an in-built office server as we follow the work-from-home model.""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.""Cloud-based service and management.""The tool has been very stable, in my experience. Also, I haven't faced any issues or problems with integration or connectivity.""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."

Cons
"The user interface needs improvement."

More Gemalto Protiva Cons →

"It is challenging to use when installing a new version.""In the next release, I would like the ability to work offline with remote access.""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.""Geofencing needs improvement.""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.""Every time that I have a new phone or computer, it takes a little longer to deploy it.""I would like to see the solution meet the integration needs at our company...Improving the solution's integration feature would be beneficial.""The User Store synchronization part needs to improve. Also, the logs, reports, and dashboard can be improved."

    Overview
    Protiva is a strong authentication platform that was developed to incorporate the strengths of Gemalto's smart card technology. It consists of a family of smart card-based user authentication devices, a browser plug-in, an authentication and customer care server and a self-service user care portal.

    Symantec VIP Access Manager is the next generation control platform that integrates Single Sign-On (SSO) with strong authentication, access control, and user management. It offers users and administrators control, convenience, and compliance for public and private cloud- based applications. Symantec VIP Access Manager solves cloud security problems using identity and/or context-based access control across multiple cloud applications. In the cloud, where a traditional enterprise perimeter doesn't exist, this solution fills the gap. Through Symantec VIP Access Manager, administrators can define policies that utilize the built-in user directory or existing identity management infrastructure to enforce security and compliance for applications without getting in the way of productivity. Symantec VIP Access Manager can also protect and consolidate access management for on-premise web applications. It also simplifies compliance auditing for cloud applications by consolidating logs across all applications it protects.
