Ivanti Secure Unified Client vs. ManageEngine Access Manager Plus

It is well suited for large corporations for granularity on users' roles, security levels for each application, and for logging in with an extra security layer. For doing demanding network tasks, like downloading a large set of data or for streaming, it could get slower than with a direct connection.

ManageEngine Access Manager Plus is ideal where you have numerous external contractors who need privileged temporary access to secure systems, it is also ideal for the elevation of privileges of internal users. Access can be controlled very precisely and sessions can be recorded and access can be revoked at any time.

I wasn't a part of the decision process to use Pulse Secure. I believe NordVPN Teams and ExpressVPN are both far superior products. Modern UI (Pulse Secure's UI is incredibly outdated), less reconnects, cheaper, less hacks (On April 20, 2021, CISA issued an "Emergency Directive on Pulse Connect Secure"), and simply faster overall connection speeds.
