Cons
"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.""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.""They could provide a single-box solution to manage tools for 4000 users. Additionally, they could add extra features to enhance remote micro connection.""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.""On the cloud, when you make some changes, it may be difficult."

"An improvement would be to update the look and feel of the interface, which is very traditional and doesn't fit the current market trend.""The product's configuration, administration, and user interface are areas of concern."
