I also like application-based access and its seamless operations.""It is customer-friendly. It is quite easy for our users to connect. There is also the flexibility of the features.""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 most valuable feature of Pulse Connect Secure is its ease of use.""The solution helps with principal decisions. It also helps with the security and configuration of many technologies.""Ivanti secures access to the corporate network from various devices and locations.""The stability of the product is its most valuable feature.""The tool's most valuable feature is remote access."

Cons
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."

More Netgate TNSR Cons →

"There is room for improvement. I'm concerned about the frequent vulnerabilities identified. As a security product, the number of vulnerabilities is concerning.""I would like the solution to be more secure and compatible. It also needs to improve integration with other systems.""We need to know how many live active users there are and we can't. We even updated the server, however, we still can't see the proper level of live connections. Right now, it's showing as 300 users and my customer does not have that many users in his organization.""The most valuable features of Pulse Connect Secure are the user-friendly connection and interconnecting.""The user experience has room for improvement.""The product's price is an area where improvements are required.""At the moment, Pulse Connect Secure is a pretty good solution, and I don't see any issues with it. Currently, I'm not aware of a new or additional feature that's needed in Pulse Connect Secure, but it would be good if the team could look at how the speed of connection could be increased. Though it's quite seamless and I didn't face any problem with the speed, it would be better to improve the speed and keep going forward, especially as the industry's changing and people would love connections to be a lot faster.""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."

More Ivanti Connect Secure Cons →

"There is a very small amount of downtime.""I don't know if it is technically feasible, however, if the Desktop App could be used as a Web App or a Chrome Extension it would be very nice.""Perimeter 81 could enhance its reporting and analytics capabilities to provide more detailed insights into network activity.""Offering in-app explanations detailing what each feature does, its benefits and potential use cases can help users better understand and utilize the tool to its full potential.""In the future, maybe P81 can improve the network traffic balancing and redundancy.""One of our challenges is ensuring the security of our cloud-based operations.""The platform still lacks relevant dashboards and the ability to customize them based on our needs.""If I were to be nitpicky, I would ask that Perimeter 81 offer the option for us to change the color of the graphical user interface, like maybe pink or green or so on."
