Verified User Anonymous Chose Ivanti Connect Secure The F5 product was more complicated to manage and requires more time to get used to. Juniper VPN is simpler.

User Testimonials
	Ivanti Connect Secure	OpenVPN Access Server
Likelihood to Recommend	If you can control the rollout of the client the Pulse Connect Secure is user-friendly. We often have a federation of endpoints that we do not control and those endpoints invariably cause pain during major upgrade cycles. It’s also not obvious that some of the default choices (like what type of VPN to use) actually degrades the service. Incentivized John Keenan Director of Information Security Read full review	We used it to connect our two offices together. It aids in secure file transfer for remote users. Some of the 3rd party software is only allowed to run on specific IP addresses due to the license and this is a way that remote users can utilize that software without being on-site Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Simple to deploy Provides flexibility Supports dynamic access management Incentivized JM Jeff Mullin Regional Sales Director Read full review	Secure Easy setup 2 free users automatic updates Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Noisy SIEM integration. Major upgrades are tough to implement. Incentivized John Keenan Director of Information Security Read full review	some times error logs are not clear Configuring 3rd party apps can sometimes be problematic Limited functionality for iPhone users, but I believe that is due to an apple issue. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Support Rating	At Adecco, first and foremost, we have Pulse SDP easy to use for our employees. This is a critical factor for us because employees are spending much less time calling into support than engaged in high payoff activities. However, when I have called in for support, Pulse SDP has been responsive and effective. Incentivized JM Jeff Mullin Regional Sales Director Read full review	No answers on this topic

Return on Investment	The deployment was very quick. It improved security by using compliance checks. Access to resources by external parties was improved.
