Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature is the communication based on PKI certificates.""I emphasize the importance of automation in Wi-Fi management, particularly in tasks such as certificate renewal. The requirement extends to the ability to generate new certificates from a local server within the data center. There is a need to establish a new server for local certificate issuance and highlights the desire for automation in the deployment process. The emphasis lies in leveraging automated solutions to streamline these operations effectively."

"In this version 9.1, lots of changes are done for the dashboard, User Store etc.""Cloud-based service and management.""The tool has been very stable, in my experience. Also, I haven't faced any issues or problems with integration or connectivity.""The product is useful for providing user access from an in-built office server as we follow the work-from-home model.""The VPN we are using is good and working quite well.""It is easy to use.""Other than it provides us with remote access, so it's fairly easy to install, fairly easy to set up, and provides us the ability to get into our corporate environment.""The two-factor authentication is most definitely valuable and moves us closer to being able to check off those important boxes for compliance."

Cons
"The customer finds value in adopting a platform from Jira, particularly for the ease it brings to their processes, both for on-premises operations and batch processing. Their objective is to create a new customized server specifically designed for generating certificates. This server is intended for the generation of certificates, emphasizing that it is not meant for free domain replacement. The platform of choice for this purpose is Digital One, a product that offers full customization and aligns well with the customer's preference for tailored solutions.The process of certificate issuance from Microsoft's AB involves renewal or replacement every five years. However, an issue arises in that this particular certificate requires renewal annually instead of the standard five-year cycle. The challenge is attributed to personnel changes, where an administrator responsible for the process resigns within the five-year period. To address this, we seeks an automated solution that operates seamlessly with a single sign-on approach, eliminating the need for user IDs or passwords. The automation involves approval and subsequent deployment without complexities. Us, being a partner of DigiSet, relies on their implementer for support in service deployment, installation, and resolution of any issues that may arise.""From an automation perspective, PKI is a bit of a debatable topic and can be improved as time demands."

"In the next release, I would like the ability to work offline with remote access.""The User Store synchronization part needs to improve. Also, the logs, reports, and dashboard can be improved.""Maybe Symantec could consider providing a step-by-step guide for first-time users.""Geofencing needs improvement.""I would like to see the solution meet the integration needs at our company...Improving the solution's integration feature would be beneficial.""If they had dashboards or a report for managers or executives, then it would allow them to see the status and have it make sense to them.""The gateway server is a RADIUS server, but it lacks the functionality of returning RADIUS attributes other than those that are required for the gateway to authenticate the users.""It is challenging to use when installing a new version."
