It's easy to use.

Cons
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."

More Netgate TNSR Cons →

"The user experience has room for improvement.""Zero test FDP (Fraud Protection and Prevention) should be improved.""Setup is complex. A few users had some issues with it.""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.""I don't have any downsides to report about the product at this time.""Connection-wise, Pulse Connect Secure could be faster, and this is its area for improvement.""The most valuable features of Pulse Connect Secure are the user-friendly connection and interconnecting.""Pulse Connect Secure could improve the reporting, it is lacking in detail and should take the report automatically."

More Ivanti Connect Secure Cons →

"They should release a less expensive version of the solution.""In future releases, I would like to see the ability to inject BGP routes.""Connectivity could be improved in Microsoft Azure VPN Gateway because it's not as stable, particularly when connecting a device tunnel.""In the next release, Microsoft should add an option to schedule upgrades.""Microsoft Azure VPN Gateway could improve by providing IPS zero-day threat protection. For example, the IPS zero-day threat protection can monitor the user behavior to protect the infrastructure. The solution can only be used as a VPN, it is lacking features.""Make it completely routable, for example, if I have a gateway, I should be able to connect to whatever network I want on either side of the gateway, and the gateway should figure out which packet goes where.""Their technical support could be better. If you don't have a support contract, it takes longer.""I would like for them to improve the troubleshooting features. We have some problems with traffic and I can't identify where the problem is coming from. I have to open a ticket with support until it gets resolved. Microsoft doesn't offer enough tools to resolve the issue."

    A VPN gateway is a specific type of virtual network gateway that is used to send encrypted traffic between an Azure virtual network and an on-premises location over the public Internet. You can also use a VPN gateway to send encrypted traffic between Azure virtual networks over the Microsoft network. Each virtual network can have only one VPN gateway. However, you can create multiple connections to the same VPN gateway. When you create multiple connections to the same VPN gateway, all VPN tunnels share the available gateway bandwidth.
