Other than it provides us with remote access, so it's fairly easy to install, fairly easy to set up, and provides us the ability to get into our corporate environment.

The tool has been very stable, in my experience. Also, I haven't faced any issues or problems with integration or connectivity.

The two-factor authentication is most definitely valuable and moves us closer to being able to check off those important boxes for compliance.

The product is useful for providing user access from an in-built office server as we follow the work-from-home model.

It gets out of sync with Active Directory or whatever it might be, whatever the authentication piece is on Active Directory, and they just reset it on the backend. I never have to contact the vendor.

The gateway server is a RADIUS server, but it lacks the functionality of returning RADIUS attributes other than those that are required for the gateway to authenticate the users.

If they had dashboards or a report for managers or executives, then it would allow them to see the status and have it make sense to them.
