We previously were using FortiGate VPN. The main difference between FortiGate VPN and Pulse Connect Secure is FortiGate VPN is lacking security features and the configuration is not as easy.

Our clients previously used Cisco AnyConnect and it was their choice to move to Pulse Connect. 

I used Cisco VPN prior to using Pulse Connect Secure. When comparing the two Pulse Connect Secure is better in flexibility and security.

Five years ago, we were using Cisco in our company.

The product's cost and stability are why my company's customers want to use Ivanti Connect Secure over Cisco.

I used Norton before using Pulse Connect Secure, and I found that Pulse Connect Secure is better in terms of multiple integrations, which isn't available in Norton.

We previously used the open-source version which did not have the same scope so we switched to the licensed version to meet our organization's requirements.

We were using a Cisco VPN solution in the years starting around 2002 or 2003. A Juniper solution was chosen back around 2007. It changed names and we have been using it ever since.

I used a Cisco solution and another solution.

Pulse used to be much more flexible than Cisco. You could do more with Pulse, like different realms and authentication policies for different types of users. But the latest still needs to be improved, and users see much more user-friendly solutions. As I mentioned, other solutions exist, like Zero Trust Networks Access.

So these are getting much easier for users. But for installing a solution for the first time, ThoughtSpot was much easier than Cisco.

Pulse Connect Secure could improve the speed at which it connects. It is slow at the moment.

Personally, I have used Cisco ASI and F5 devices. Pulse Connect Secure was already in place at this company when I arrived, so for this company there was no reason to test or use another solution. 

The product was already in place when I joined the company.
