"easy to use VPN technology"
What do you like best about Ivanti Connect Secure?

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.

What do you dislike about Ivanti Connect Secure?

It is very sensitive --- connection resets if remaining idle for too long, or if my laptop simply closes

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

VPN, secured access to our servers for transmitting sensitive information

"Easier to configure than OpenVPN, has Duo support"
What do you like best about Ivanti Connect Secure?

Makes connecting to internal applications easier than OpenVPN, Cisco VPN, etc. I also like that it is possible to integrate it with Duo.

What do you dislike about Ivanti Connect Secure?

The client on Linux isn't great. I've taken to using OpenVPN sometimes. BeyondCorp / zero trust is a better architecture moving forward.

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

I'm able to connect to internal-only resources.

It would randomly stop working and I would have to restart it.

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

I was able to access resources only available while on campus network.

"your next Secure VPN Network Access solution"
What do you like best about Ivanti Connect Secure?

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.

What do you dislike about Ivanti Connect Secure?

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.

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

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.

"Easy VPN Connection"
What do you like best about Ivanti Connect Secure?

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.

What do you dislike about Ivanti Connect Secure?

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.

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

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.

"Customer-friendly!"
What do you like best about Ivanti Connect Secure?

The automated VPN access to users is easy to use once set-up. I use it nearly every day for a quick email check.

What do you dislike about Ivanti Connect Secure?

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.

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

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.

"Nice VPN tool"
What do you like best about Ivanti Connect Secure?

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.

What do you dislike about Ivanti Connect Secure?

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.

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

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.

What do you dislike about Ivanti Connect Secure?

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.
