Exceptionally stable, cost-effective, and offers a user-friendly interface
Deploying Array AG Series isn't exactly simple as it requires expertise in handling SaaS solutions and involves a thorough study of the customer's network and requirements. Skill set and support assistance are crucial during installation. For a single-box, basic configuration, you might pull it off in about five hours, a day at most. However, achieving stability takes longer, as VPN products need time to settle in an organization. Depending on user complaints and day-to-day issues, it could take a while to get everything running smoothly. In our deployment experience with Array AG Series, five engineers, including myself, were involved in executing over twenty VPN projects across India in the last four to five years. These were substantial projects, taking about a week to stabilize the solution. As for maintenance, it is neither simple nor overly complicated. It requires careful attention because any issues can have a global impact on users over the internet. Maintenance for a single site typically requires the attention of one or two individuals.

Provides secure and simple remote access but needs improved reporting capabilities
Ivanti Connect Secure is simple and secure, making it valuable for our organization. Ivanti Connect Secure's access control feature provides global protect, which allows country-wise blocking. There are many access controls available, and policies can be created on a host basis and on the MAC address of assets that will connect. Firewall versions and OS versions can be defined, and only devices meeting these criteria can connect to the VPN. These features are effective, along with MFA. Ivanti Connect Secure is a client-based, agent-based solution, so if the agent is installed, users are able to connect to the network. Ivanti Connect Secure utilizes identity-based LDAP authentication. Ivanti Connect Secure is very effective for remote access for remote workers.
