We used the product as a VPN for remote users.  We are a small office with a single server (HP Proliant 360p) environment running Windows Server 2019 and previously employed the use of a SonicWall TZ500 as our firewall.  

We had, at most, three remote users and six office users connecting at any given point in  time. NetExtender was the VPN solution provided by SonicWall. The setup for Net Extender was tempermental (it had issues connecting to LDAP for authentication) and the overall experience was a nightmare. We ended up switching to another provider for our firewall and VPN.

We primarily use the solution for file transfer due to the fact that our exchange is in the cloud. We don't need it for our Outlook, however, we do have large files, being a construction company. We set it up at job sites and wherever anybody needs it remotely, it comes back in securely and we don't have that many latency issues We're doing very good with it.

We use their SSL VPN specifically because we can link it to the identity management that is on Microsoft Office 365 portal.

This solution is not used internally. It is meant to be used externally because it is the VPN client. It is used for external access to the company.

I do a fair bit with the virtualized SSL VPN appliances to keep the VPN termination off of the firewall because it's a heavy load on the firewall. It also allows for better integration with so many customers being on the Microsoft 365 portal.

We can't do SAML integration/authentication on VPN clients that are loaded on the firewalls, but we can do that when we put them on VPN-specific appliances.

NetExtender is for client VPN. Users can use it to connect through a VPN and remotely access the internet services.

The solution is used as an enterprise infrastructure VPN.

We have our users connecting if they work from home, for example. We are using NetExtender for connecting our users to the office.
