Our company uses Pulse for remote VPN access / authentication -- I work on our international account and am often traveling, so it's extremely important. It will only connect when it has identified a safe connection, again imperative for transmitting sensitive information.
It is very sensitive --- connection resets if remaining idle for too long, or if my laptop simply closes
VPN, secured access to our servers for transmitting sensitive information
Makes connecting to internal applications easier than OpenVPN, Cisco VPN, etc. I also like that it is possible to integrate it with Duo.
The client on Linux isn't great. I've taken to using OpenVPN sometimes. BeyondCorp / zero trust is a better architecture moving forward.
I'm able to connect to internal-only resources.
I was easily able to VPN into my school network when I was not on campus. This gave me easy access to textbooks and other resources that were only available on the university network.
It would randomly stop working and I would have to restart it.
I was able to access resources only available while on campus network.
Now that the program is downloaded onto my computer, I like the ease of use. I am the end user of this program at my job so I don't have much experience with the back end up set up. However, my office has a wide variety of computer users, and everyone is able to log on when needed without any issues which seems like a miracle in itself.
At this time, I don't really have any complaints as I am a sometimes user. I did have trouble initially getting the right program onto my computer and setting it up, but that was more at fault of my company's computer settings than the actual program.
With my role, I spend a good bit of time working from outside of my actual office. This program is a life saver in that it allows me to access heavily guarded files and programs with out having to be hardwired to my network.
This VPN is easy to use and gets set up very quickly.
If you don't have a stable connection upon start up, it will take very long and might even disconnect you!
It allows me to do my job while being wireless
The following are the few features which I like the most about this tool: - Easy to use once the gateway is set up. - Highly customizable - It offers secure way to connect to the company or other institution's network - User friendly User Interface (UI)
The following are the few points which I don't like about this product: - Setting up gateway can be time consuming and tricky at times - The Help section of the documentation could be improved. - At times, it complains about the java version installed on the machine and require it to be updated to a more latest version
This tool is used by me and other individuals in my company to connect to the company's network securely from any public network. It is highly secure and easy to use.
I like that this VPN system is easier to use. All that is needed is the code that is sent to my phone and then logging in. I like that it is efficient and that there is not much necessary input from my end. I like that I don't need to access the system through a web portal. That reduces the risk of wifi connection issues messing with the VPN connection.
I wish the connectivity was better and I am not sure if that is a Pulse issue or something to do with my network with my company.
It has made my life easier when I need to continue to work but from home. I don't have to stress that my connection will always fail and I might miss a meeting or not be able to hit a deadline in time.
The automated VPN access to users is easy to use once set-up. I use it nearly every day for a quick email check.
I did not find the installation and setup process impossible, but it could have been easier at the same time. Someone had to show me how to do the configuration the first time around.
The largest benefit is connecting a secured VPN environment in order to work remotely from home. It doesn't take much time to do so, either. It seems stable when connected to the VPN and I don't remember it ever failing.
It's easy to log in and use on a daily basis. I like that it keeps my data protected from people seeking to steal our data. The program has an icon on in the bottom right that moves when you login indicating it's in process. I like it that the VPN can be suspended without having to fully log out of the program.
I would like it more if it automatically popped up when I started my computer every day. I wish the display was bigger though but otherwise, it works great from the user perspective.
This is firm mandated VPN tool used to protect firm data. We use it to ensure that our proprietary data is safeguarded from online theft.
It has an user friendly interface. Easy to use buttons in UI. When connecting remotely it offers confidentiality to network elements and connection. Basically offers secure connection.
Connection is very slow and gives lot of buffering. Disconnects without knowledge when working and takes longer to reconnect. Should get some bug fixes as there will be updates
It encourages secure connection throughout when connected remotely for work from home or work from anywhere. It requires constant internet connection to work better.
It is easy to configure and start using it once you have an account
The server configuration is probably the more complex here.
