"They could provide a single-box solution to manage tools for 4000 users. Additionally, they could add extra features to enhance remote micro connection."
"One thing that kind of sticks out to me is the ability to do a proper non-split tunnel. VPN tunnel-wise, it is not really a true unsplit tunnel, but I think that's just because of the way it's designed. A split VPN basically allows your system to talk to other systems without being forced down the tunnel. A VPN running in a non-split tunnel mode forces all the traffic down the tunnel to wherever you're VPNing to. It forces the traffic down so that the traffic is subject to the firewall and rules that you have in your corporate environment and such. It helps to prevent remote malicious folks that may be talking directly to that box from piggybacking into the corporate environment through it. They do it partially, but it would be nice to see more of an enterprise-level solution there."
"On the cloud, when you make some changes, it may be difficult."
"It would be better to connect to an application portal from any device. Documentation and support could be better."
"The solution should have better security."
"I would like to be able to access the remote desktop using a web-based interface, rather than having to use the client."
"The solution is unsuitable for direct external internet connections. You must set up a VPN and password handling to use it."
"Remote Desktop Services doesn't scale well."
"The pricing could be better."
"We've had issues with security breaches."
"Users have to re-enter their ID and password every time they log on, which is tedious and repetitive."
"The only issue I experienced was with the initialization of the session, which affected the stability of the solution."
