Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Citrix, Ivanti and others in SSL VPN."The most valuable features of Pulse Connect Secure are multi-factor authentications, and VPNs and SSL VPNs we are using."
"The product is easy to use."
"Ivanti secures access to the corporate network from various devices and locations."
"What I like the most about Pulse Connect Secure is that it's user-friendly. It's easy to use. You just need to connect, and that's it."
"The most valuable feature of Pulse Connect Secure is its ease of use."
"The best feature of Pulse Connect Secure is the good security it provides. It gives a secure connection to your network."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"I like the host checker, which thoroughly checks the security posture of the machine before allowing access. I also like application-based access and its seamless operations."
"It is a comprehensive security solution that not only controls access to enterprise resources but also tracks and prevents unauthorized access, ensuring the protection of sensitive data and preventing potential data loss scenarios."
"The initial setup is not overly complex or difficult."
"Its direct integration with all the other products that we have from Microsoft is valuable. We're using the E5 license, and we have a whole wealth of different products available. It just makes it easier to have everything from one provider."
"With on-premises Active Directory, the main challenge was that we had no control when a user was working from home. We didn't know what exactly a user was doing and whether the AV was up to date or not. Intune provides better control of their machines."
"Agile and easy to deploy MDM solution that covers the maximum number of policies. Stable, scalable, and with knowledgeable technical support."
"We are using the mobile feature, and we are also using MDM to lock the devices, to push restrictions, et cetera"
"Intune's feature that I have found most valuable is its auto-pilot feature."
"For our office workers who are not based in Norway, when we order the PC, we can do some of the settings for them. These are standardized settings. We can set them up exactly as they are in Norway so that they're the same."
"The solution can be improved by addressing the failure to connect on public 2-step networks."
"The solution must be more user-friendly."
"The stability could be better. There are sometimes bugs in the system."
"There is room for improvement. I'm concerned about the frequent vulnerabilities identified. As a security product, the number of vulnerabilities is concerning."
"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."
"This solution normally works but at times, we have had trouble with connectivity."
"Pulse Connect Secure could improve the reporting, it is lacking in detail and should take the report automatically."
"Zero test FDP (Fraud Protection and Prevention) should be improved."
"It needs certificate provisioning for S/MIME purposes."
"It should be simplified. I've worked with many different mobile device management solutions, and Intune is one of the more complex ones. It could be more simplified, and some of it is related to the wording that is being used, such as a configuration profile versus a policy. They really should have had different names to make it less confusing."
"In terms of what can be improved, I am looking for better enhancements regarding Apple management, not only on the mobile device, but also on the laptop."
"Lacks the ability to deploy more ways of management, managing devices and processing the policies."
"It's the granularity: 'Is your firewall on? Is BitLocker on?' It's not amazing granularity. But I've looked into other products, like Duo, and they're all similar."
"There's quite a lot of development that they can do within their Intune dashboard. I think there are too many lines hyperlinked to move you around. Others, in contrast, give you a simple dashboard and an intuitive administrative walkthrough."
"I'm still playing around with it and haven't had any issues with the product yet, but support can definitely be improved."
"The reporting and cost have room for improvement."
