Pros
"The tool's most valuable feature is remote access.""The most valuable feature is being able to securely connect and use virtual desktops.""VPN tunneling is a very valuable feature of Pulse Connect Secure.

"They always add more features to this product.""The remote management and cloud-based maintenance features of this solution are very useful for our organization.""I like the level of interaction that the product offers with the other products in our company's environment.""In terms of valuable features, we liked the lock feature, the roll-out white feature, and the find feature. I think that Sophos had a GPS locator, so you could figure out where the phone was from a GPS location.""The most valuable feature is the mobile device management capability. You can easily manage all of your mobile devices.""The utmost importance lies in mobile security and its performance.""Sophos can block the Wi-Fi connection on a mobile device. That's one feature we wanted, but the main thing is the ability to disable the device if it's lost or stolen. We need to shut down PayPal, so it can't be used to make unauthorized purchases.""The solution provides us with data protection."

Cons
"The user experience has room for improvement.""There is room for improvement. I'm concerned about the frequent vulnerabilities identified. As a security product, the number of vulnerabilities is concerning.""The product's price is an area where improvements are required.""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.""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 stability could be better. There are sometimes bugs in the system.""Pulse Connect Secure could improve by having better integration with NAC solutions, such as Cisco ClearPass integration with Pulse Connect Secure. Additionally, they need better integration with Microsoft Azure AD and Azure Authenticator."

More Ivanti Connect Secure Cons →

"The product does not work well in iOS.""To manage the Apple devices is not that straightforward there are a lot of features the other third parties solutions are offering which Sophos Mobile is not.""The setup should be made easier.""It could be more secure.""In terms of what could be improved, the initial configuration and setup of the environment could probably be made a little bit easier. There are so many pieces that go into it. Intune is absolutely insane and Sophos is better, but it still is a bit complex to get it all set up correctly.""We encounter issues while working with iOS.""For Sophos Mobile, it is difficult to get good support.""We would like to see graphics showing the use of each device."
