Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is customer-friendly. It is quite easy for our users to connect. There is also the flexibility of the features.""The product is easy to use.""This is a very secure and stable tool.""The new UI that they are providing right now is very good.""The most valuable features of the solution are reliability and uptime.""The most valuable features of Pulse Connect Secure are multi-factor authentications, and VPNs and SSL VPNs we are using.""Ivanti secures access to the corporate network from various devices and locations.""It's a very convenient and user-friendly application."

"The platform makes the mobile device management process straightforward to handle.""AirWatch has one of the best User Interfaces and it's quite easy to figure out where particular items are within the menu system.""If an outside person tries to track or hack information, it is not possible without us being notified.""The feature that we find most valuable is the corporate email pushing.""VMware Workspace ONE has been stable so far.""The most valuable feature depends on the use case of the clients. However, one feature I like is the Kiosk Mode. In the Kiosk Mode in most cases, the clients only can make available one application developed by the solution and permit the employee or the final client to use only this one application for interaction. This provides a security control layer limiting only one application functionally.""The product has fully automated features that help people do tasks easily.""We recently integrated Workspace ONE with our intelligence report, and this is a great tool from a reporting point of view. In our daily business, we get several requests from businesses to provide an Adobe request for monitoring, whether it is for Android or iOS devices. The main benefit of this tool is that we can exclude the report for applications."

Cons
"The product's price is an area where improvements are required.""We need to know how many live active users there are and we can't. We even updated the server, however, we still can't see the proper level of live connections. Right now, it's showing as 300 users and my customer does not have that many users in his organization.""At the moment, Pulse Connect Secure is a pretty good solution, and I don't see any issues with it. Currently, I'm not aware of a new or additional feature that's needed in Pulse Connect Secure, but it would be good if the team could look at how the speed of connection could be increased. Though it's quite seamless and I didn't face any problem with the speed, it would be better to improve the speed and keep going forward, especially as the industry's changing and people would love connections to be a lot faster.""This solution normally works but at times, we have had trouble with connectivity.""I would like the solution to be more secure and compatible. It also needs to improve integration with other systems.""Pulse Connect Secure could improve the reporting, it is lacking in detail and should take the report automatically.""The solution can be improved by addressing the failure to connect on public 2-step networks.""The product could use additional dashboards."

More Ivanti Connect Secure Cons →

"The Content Locker cannot inherit permissions for the Windows Public Folder. If they could integrate with Microsoft on this point, it would be the perfect functionality.""There is room for improvement in customer service and support.""Sometimes, we have challenges with remote patching and remote version upgrades.""The pricing could always be better.""They need a more flexible pricing model.""The solution needs to adapt to the cloud based reality of the current world model. Some customers may have reluctance to this, but it is the next level for all of the big providers. Azure, AWS and Google are all on the forefront of cloud-based solutions.""Windows 10 management is there, but VMware only recently developed that part, and it's not fully mature. Patch management and other integrations are there as well as the application-pushing part, command line, mandatory commands, etc. Some out-of-the-box solutions should be available to better integrate a broader range of applications and handle application push. That's the roadmap we should look at.""The app installer is something that they should really change. It creates a lot of confusion for the user."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The cost of the product is high, but worth it because of the utility and great product support."
  • "The price of Pulse Connect Secure is expensive."
  • "A license is required for you to use Pulse Connect Secure, but I'm not aware of how much it costs."
  • "The pricing for Pulse Connect Secure is not low and not high, so it's good. It's a six out of ten for me, price-wise."
  • "Pulse Connect Secure is relatively cost-effective."
  • "I rate the product price a six to seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price."
  • "The pricing is quite nominal. We pay on a yearly basis."
  • More Ivanti Connect Secure Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "You should take out a dedicated license agreement of your MDM fleet and invest heavily in innovating in this space."
  • "In terms of pricing, this solution is definitely much more expensive compared to other solutions, like MobileIron or MaaS360 or any other product in the market. This solution is more expensive by 30 or 40 percent."
  • "I have no opinion about the pricing of the product."
  • "The pricing and licensing are affordable. They are not too high."
  • "I think the pricing of the product needs advisement. It would be great to bundle the VM products together. I think the actual box itself should be included in the license. At present, it is not paired with the mobile device."
  • "If you purchase it for one year, it is very expensive. If you get it for three years or up to five years, then you can bargain a better price."
  • "There is a separate cost for technical support and extra premium features. The pricing should be simplified."
  • "The cost is a little bit high."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Below is some feedback from our PeerSpot users who are currently using the solution:

    PeerSpot user Patrick B., Cybersecurity Architect at a tech services company, says, "Its UI is extremely easy to use whether you're an advanced user or a novice user. When I first opened it up and had to learn the product, I was easily a novice. By the end of the third month, I was digging into the backend of the system and using it as a highly advanced user to accomplish what I needed to accomplish, and I was able to do it through the UI mostly."

    Roshan T., Partner Manager North America at a tech company, mentions how satisfied he is with the product, saying, "You can put all your applications on a mobile device, be it a phone or tablet. It is secure and easy to use. Because it is centrally managed, you don't have to do any configuration on the phone. I just got the phone and connected to the central applications. I just downloaded one thing and everything got rolled out. Email, calendar, and other things were deployed centrally. If you don't have AirWatch, you have to configure your phone manually. For example, you need to deploy and configure your email manually and then synchronize everything. It is much simpler when a mobile device is centrally managed."
