Cons
"One limitation is that it's harder to provide access to multiple applications in the company with Appgate, but that's probably because of poor management.""The user interface should be improved as it is not very easy to work with the updates.""It would be better to connect to an application portal from any device. Documentation and support could be better.""They could provide a single-box solution to manage tools for 4000 users. Additionally, they could add extra features to enhance remote micro connection.""On the cloud, when you make some changes, it may be difficult.""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."

More Appgate SDP Cons →

"I believe there is a lot of room for improvement in terms of integration.""From a resource perspective, the OEM can do better in terms of resource utilization.""As there are no agents in Portnox Clear, the customers of the product cannot download any agents on their devices, making them unsure if the product offers proper security."

    Overview

    Appgate SDP is a network access control tool for local and remote access, multifactor authentication, and micro-segmentation. It is a flexible, robust, and configurable tool with good documentation, interface improvements, and ease of deployment. 

    It helps organizations prevent lateral movement across networks and servers and provides a more granular access control structure than traditional VPNs. Appgate SDP's valuable features include the ability to hide servers, good support, stability, scalability, and stopping lateral movement. It is currently being used as the main VPN solution for many companies.

    Portnox CLEAR is the only cloud-native network access control (NAC) solution that unifies essential network and endpoint security capabilities: device discovery, network authentication, access control, network hardware administration, risk mitigation and compliance enforcement. As a cloud service, Portnox CLEAR eliminates the need for on-going maintenance such as upgrades and patches and requires no on-site appliances. As such, the platform can be easily deployed, scaled and managed by lean, resource-constrained IT teams across any corporate network - no matter how complex.
