Provides connection with roaming users with easy deployment

It is easy to integrate other solutions with Connect Secure. We are currently using Ivanti Connect Secure with client-based connectivity. Implementing clientless connectivity enable us to connect without the need for any client software. This allow us to access office resources such as URL-based or SAP SaaS-based systems. Additionally, Ivanti is working on enhancing this feature, which is a positive development. In terms of competition, backups from other providers like Cisco AnyConnect and Fortinet are also considered. I've worked with Cisco Connect and FortiGate, which are relatively easy to work with. FortiGate does have quite a few bugs, making some applications not visible, which can cause discomfort during implementation. The only concern arises from the vulnerabilities that are found. Ivanti Connect Secure's security is a priority, since they're operating on a legacy OS platform. Approximately 22,000 Ivanti users have transitioned from Juniper to Pulse Secure and then to Ivanti. I strongly recommend avoiding the use of any legacy platforms for security reasons. It's advisable to utilize the latest platforms equipped with comprehensive security management features. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"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."

"It's quite stable."

"VPN tunneling is a very valuable feature of Pulse Connect Secure. I also like that it is straightforward to use, and you can see traffic logs on it."

"I can safely say this is one of the best solutions I have seen for VPN access. It can achieve what other vendors may not be able to. This product will train you about exactly what an SSL should be. You can leverage it to do whatever you wish, the way you wish to do it. This is the solution if you want a perfectly scalable product for your enterprise that can help your mobile users and integrate with the latest technologies."

"The best feature of Pulse Connect Secure is the good security it provides. It gives a secure connection to your network."

"The product is easy to use."

"It is customer-friendly. It is quite easy for our users to connect. There is also the flexibility of the features."

"The initial setup is straightforward."

More Ivanti Connect Secure pros

"It has all of the features that we need to use and that we want to use."

"The solution has a lot of capabilities, and it is easy to manage and customize."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is the tracking of the devices."

"The most valuable feature is the interface with SCAP, which is the Security Content Automation Protocol."

"Remote management is most valuable. It allows you to manage multiple types of devices. It is not just limited to laptops or desktops. You can also manage IoT devices. If a device is lost or stolen, you can easily take control of the device without letting any information get leaked."

"The remote management and location capabilities are good."

"The solution's Self-Service feature is valuable because it gives a single managed application that users can download and use based on their preferences and productivity."

"We can impose cybersecurity requirements."

Cons

"I would like the solution to be more secure and compatible. It also needs to improve integration with other systems."

"User experience and after-sales support could be better. For example, over the last couple of years, when this COVID scenario was going on, there were multiple attacks on these types of solutions. SQL has been attacked numerous times, and there were a lot of vulnerabilities, and our customers had to update and upgrade the devices every two weeks or every month. This was a headache. It could also be more scalable."

"Pulse Connect Secure could improve the reporting, it is lacking in detail and should take the report automatically."

"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."

"I don't have any downsides to report about the product at this time."

"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."

"The support team of the product needs improvement. Sometimes we have issues with multiple authentications, but there is no help from the support team."

"The stability could be better. There are sometimes bugs in the system."

More Ivanti Connect Secure cons

"The security features could always use improvement, although there has already been a huge improvement from years ago."

"Patching, fixing, and training for VMware Workspace ONE are areas that need to be improved."

"AirWatch doesn't seem to empower IT admins to try new things or get creative with implementations."

"The integration on the application side could improve."

"Feature-wise, it is fine, but its pricing could be better, given that Microsoft is on a bundling spree. AirWatch would benefit from reducing the license pricing per user per month."

"They need a more flexible pricing model."

"I would like better integration for deploying programs with binary files."

"vIDM could be improved with the multi-tenant capabilities that VMware tends to offer—features like customization branding and the integration of the app catalog based on the branding. Since the integration has been at top-level OGs, you were not able to then do rebranding if you were required to use specific user groups to highlight specific applications. At the time, I was personally opening feature requests for these things. I haven't worked with the latest release, so I don't know if these features were already deployed or not."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Pulse Connect Secure is expensive."

"Pulse Connect Secure is relatively cost-effective."

"A license is required for you to use Pulse Connect Secure, but I'm not aware of how much it costs."

"The cost of the product is high, but worth it because of the utility and great product support."

"The pricing is quite nominal. We pay on a yearly basis."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"The license is paid annually."

"VMware Workspace ONE can fit any organization because if you need more devices there are only additional fees."

"There is a licensing fee for the users, and we pay a low amount for our support costs."

"We are paying about $145,000 a year on a three-year subscription with no ability to scale up or scale down within that class model."

"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."

"There is a separate cost for technical support and extra premium features. The pricing should be simplified."

"The pricing currently is higher than the competition."

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."
