Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Citrix, Ivanti and others in SSL VPN."The product is easy to use."
"The best feature of Pulse Connect Secure is the good security it provides. It gives a secure connection to your network."
"It's quite stable."
"This is a very secure and stable tool."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"It's a very convenient and user-friendly application."
"From an end-user perspective, the setup phase is easy."
"The stability of the product is its most valuable feature."
"Conditional access has helped us tailor and enforce our security policies in the mobile space."
"It is a stable solution."
"One of the biggest advantages of Microsoft Intune is that it brings the management of Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and even Linux under a single pane of glass."
"Based on my experience, I find Intune very flexible for managing Windows devices. We can use scripting, and we can make use of the self-service portal or the company portal to publish some of the applications for Windows."
"The key benefit of Intune is its integration with the Microsoft ecosystem."
"The feature I like the most is that we can perform remote tasks. If we want to retire or wipe out personal data or corporate data from a device, we can use Microsoft Intune remotely, and with the click of a button, data is removed automatically. Nothing needs to be done from the end-user side."
"For Windows services, there are multiple options within Intune to modernize it to be more internet-facing and dynamic."
"The ability to push applications on devices is valuable. You do not have to manually install applications one by one. If you like to use ten different applications, you do not have to manually go and download them one by one. Intune can compile a package for you, and then you can just push them from the admin center."
"Connection-wise, Pulse Connect Secure could be faster, and this is its area for improvement."
"Ivanti Connect Secure needs to have faster connections. It also needs to improve the stability."
"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."
"The stability could be better. There are sometimes bugs in the system."
"This solution normally works but at times, we have had trouble with connectivity."
"I don't have any downsides to report about the product at this time."
"The product could use additional dashboards."
"An area for improvement in Pulse Connect Secure is the concurrent connections, particularly needing a license if you want to use Pulse Connect Secure with your Microsoft or Windows machine."
"Microsoft Intune fails a lot when it comes to device compliance."
"It would be good if, in addition to the minimal patching and compliance, we could also use Intune for application deployment. For instance, if a device is not patched, Intune should have the ability to push not only a Microsoft patch but also other patches, such as a browser patch."
"The most important thing is reporting. They should improve their reporting. They should give a free hand to users. In SCCM, I can create my own reports. For example, in SCCM, I can create an inventory report for my PC or for all PCs, but in Intune, we don't have an option to create any report. Microsoft claims that Intune is a successor of SCCM, but SCCM is more powerful than Intune. So, they should develop Intune more and make it equivalent to SCCM. Then, their product will be great in the market."
"I'm still playing around with it and haven't had any issues with the product yet, but support can definitely be improved."
"Lacking ability to leverage more iOS device management internally."
"The solution could improve by having better integration with Apple."
"Intune has limited integration with non-Microsoft solutions."
"Technical support is not that great."
