"The system is nice and the servers are fast."
What do you like best about Ivanti Connect Secure?

Allows us to connect to the vpn network in a stable and secure way. It offers us to deny any type of access to unwanted users outside the company, its interface is totally secure and blocks false requests. This platform is a wonder. In addition to the fact that its platform is attractive and has simple tools with stable and different servers with connection to countries and faster speed, browsing is much safer.

What do you dislike about Ivanti Connect Secure?

Since our company has many employees, we were forced to buy several licenses for its optimal operation, since it was denied access by the maximum number of users. You can improve by adding more features and integrating more servers in order to deliver results.

What problems is Ivanti Connect Secure solving and how is that benefiting you?

It allowed us to configure our different vpn in a very easy way thanks to its interface, as many employees are working remotely they can access our VPN and it makes their work more fluid and smooth. Browsing is safer and we leave trackings aside which we leave aside the problems of loss of information.

"browsing is faster and safer"
What do you like best about Ivanti Connect Secure?

The use of the IP encryption system is a system that is implemented in most companies, Connect Secure is a system that for us is a total change of life that has allowed me to improve the way in which we can publicize our services without worrying about a type of information theft since the IP encryption system we can use where we want to enter any type of page and improve web browsing, without the need to lose information.

What do you dislike about Ivanti Connect Secure?

I have problems with the Connect Secure system, sometimes it can decrease the original speed of the Internet system, that is why the networks must be optimized to offer a better service when using the system and not miss the opportunity, to navigate calmly in the Web.

What problems is Ivanti Connect Secure solving and how is that benefiting you?

Correctly, it has offered us solutions because we have been able to navigate much more securely without the problem of losing information, all this solved with a single Connect Secure system. Navigation is much more secure. We can navigate without any type of problem. The time to navigate with an IP encryption is more visible since it is easier to enter pages or send documents.

"Great for Secure Internet Usage When Utilizing VPN"
What do you like best about Ivanti Connect Secure?

This platform helps to encrypt browsing activity and therefore protect confidential company data while accessing the internet offsite from a company office.

There is not much to dislike about this platform. It actively encrypts data and automatically connects VPN on computer startup when not docked into a secure corporate network.

What problems is Ivanti Connect Secure solving and how is that benefiting you?

This solution has helped the company to actively protect its confidential information and relevant trade secrets from leaving the organization.

"Easy, Fast And Secure Way To Connect To Networks."
What do you like best about Ivanti Connect Secure?

I'm using Pulse Secure as first option always that I have to connect, in my case, to my network's business. It's very easy to configure, it haves a good security and also It's faster than others similar tools. The most thing that I like is that it haves an easy configuration. You only have to add a new connection, insert the URL and then your credentials.

What do you dislike about Ivanti Connect Secure?

I'm not sure but I think it doesn't works okey with some kind of url, on depends the connection.

What problems is Ivanti Connect Secure solving and how is that benefiting you?

About the problems I don't find problems by the moment. About the benefits I think it's one of the easy and fast tools to connect by VPN to different networks.

"The VPN for work "
What do you like best about Ivanti Connect Secure?

Pulse secure keeps updating and getting better, pluse they use a really nice two factor authentication with Duo that makes live so much easier than carrying fobs around all the time to get keep track of access codes. I do like that every few weeks they keep updating and plugging their UX with better desings, and faster responses.

What do you dislike about Ivanti Connect Secure?

It's basic, it used to take 3-4 login screens before it would start, and it always wanted to redownload themselves to your computer. Which was superbly annoying. because you'd login in, log in again, hit connect, do the two factor authentication, it try to download itself back onto your computer, while opening a dialoge box allowing you to refuse your own connection or confirm the connection.

What problems is Ivanti Connect Secure solving and how is that benefiting you?

This has been a good solution for providing admin network access to our student works, and our remote workers. Being at a higher education facility the rules in place by the Networking team and Active Directory guys blocks student workers from having access to the network servers they need to get to, to do the job we hired them for. The alternatives are provide them with Ethernet connections, or VPNs for the social teams, event techs, and web tech crew who were all given newer macbooks with no ethernet port. So we started using Pulse Secure to solve the problem. It works great, I can be remote, I can work with students, and not have to limit the connection to fulltime employees (not even our contractors have admin network access).

"Pretty Straighforward!"
What do you like best about Ivanti Connect Secure?

- Pulse is easy to use and generally does its job as expected. - The best feature is the minimalist dashboard and status button that shows the if my connection is still active!

What do you dislike about Ivanti Connect Secure?

Couple of things that are troublesome: - Its pretty hard to configure by yourself even if you are updating the version. The IT department has to do it for you. - Sometimes the connection is problematic and its hard to determine the cause. I had to involve IT desk to solve it for me.

What problems is Ivanti Connect Secure solving and how is that benefiting you?

I used pulse VPN to connect to office drives when I am working away from office or from outside the country.

"In terms of security, Pulse secure is very good."
What do you like best about Ivanti Connect Secure?

The security and authentication methods are pretty good. And it is a user-friendly operating system. I also like the ability to have access to multiple servers at the same time with the same credentials

What do you dislike about Ivanti Connect Secure?

The consistency of the connection is a bit off. And dynamic or automatic server change is not present. it will not suggest the best server for a more flexible and fast connections

What problems is Ivanti Connect Secure solving and how is that benefiting you?

The main problem is connecting securely to the network folders and remote desktops. Solved it by implementing Pulse secure. Providing multiple servers for a decentralized network was a benfit.

"Clean and minimalistic UI - generally stable when properly configured"
What do you like best about Ivanti Connect Secure?

- UI is very clean. Few buttons, it's very straightforward and quick to connect. - Very stable once connected to the VPN. I think I have almost never seen it fail.

What do you dislike about Ivanti Connect Secure?

- Unfortunately sometimes it's hard to connect. This generally happens in case of misconfigurations. - If I close the laptop lid without before exiting from Pulse Secure, I'll get it in a weird state for which DNS lookup gets somehow broken and I have to restart my laptop. - UI is so minimalistic that there is not much to try out when something fails. I wish there would be some diagnosis center or logs or a help center.

"Used based on IT requirements, difficult install Mac OS users"
What do you like best about Ivanti Connect Secure?

Once it's configured it works well and provides automated VPN access behind the scenes. Reboots and auto-logins aren't an issue, the software handles it for you (at least on a Mac).

What do you dislike about Ivanti Connect Secure?

The installation and setup process was difficult and in fact not possible to do individually. The IT department I worked with to configure this needed to install this with virtual screensharing software because specific codes and keys needed to match a specific version that only they could provide. This may or may not be the fault of the software, but either way an improved workflow for installation would be beneficial.

What problems is Ivanti Connect Secure solving and how is that benefiting you?

Connecting a secured VPN environment in order to work with an enterprise client and adjust onsite secured servers they maintained.

Connect secure is the best app to connect to VPN for remote users. It restricts unauthorized access to the internal network, making the connection very safe to use.

What do you dislike about Ivanti Connect Secure?

There is only one disadvantage: Sometimes it disconnects automatically; not sure what the reasons could be. Otherwise it is very easy to use.

So being a part of a global fintech organization, we are working remotely from many places, so with the help of Connect Secure, it has been straightforward now to connect to any VPN that is secured by the company without stressing on security points and hampering productivity.
