Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Citrix, Ivanti and others in SSL VPN."It is customer-friendly. It is quite easy for our users to connect. There is also the flexibility of the features."
"From an end-user perspective, the setup phase is easy."
"Pulse Connect Secure is a stable solution."
"The most valuable feature of Pulse Connect Secure is its ease of use."
"The most valuable features of the solution are reliability and uptime."
"The new UI that they are providing right now is very good."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The most valuable features of Pulse Connect Secure are multi-factor authentications, and VPNs and SSL VPNs we are using."
"The central administration con dashboard is very easy to use and provides very good oversight on all that needs to be monitored."
"It works pretty well for us."
"The reporting and analytics features in Microsoft Intune have been a lifesaver."
"There are so many features, but Windows Autopilot is one of the features that are very valuable for most customers."
"The initial setup is not complex."
"Intune can wipe devices. For example, if a disgruntled employee wants to leak the data on their company phone, Intune can terminate their access and wipe the entire device with a click."
"It is a comprehensive security solution that not only controls access to enterprise resources but also tracks and prevents unauthorized access, ensuring the protection of sensitive data and preventing potential data loss scenarios."
"It's really easy to access."
"The most valuable features of Pulse Connect Secure are the user-friendly connection and interconnecting."
"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."
"Pulse Connect Secure could improve the reporting, it is lacking in detail and should take the report automatically."
"There is room for improvement. I'm concerned about the frequent vulnerabilities identified. As a security product, the number of vulnerabilities is concerning."
"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."
"I would like the solution to be more secure and compatible. It also needs to improve integration with other systems."
"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."
"Setup is complex. A few users had some issues with it."
"Additional application deployment options e.g. MSI deployment with more complex parameters or additional side-by-side files, and non-MSI deployment options."
"There are a lot of small use cases where we realized that some technical solution was missing in Microsoft in comparison to other products. For example, it lacks something similar to sensing or location-based rules and configurations."
"There can be delays in the deployment of new policies."
"The synchronization could be improved."
"The configuration could be better by consolidating options and making it simpler."
"I would like to see micro VPN. I like the way that some of the other providers have done something similar where, as you open that app on an end-point device, it creates a micro VPN straight into your device, which is quite a nice little feature. Also, Microsoft Intune relies heavily on its fellow products in the suite. It would be nice if Microsoft Intune could stand on its own two feet."
"Reporting and troubleshooting for the application deployment could be better. It's very difficult to understand."
"Microsoft Intune's support for Mac devices is lacking and could be improved."
