Infrastructure Team Lead at Scalecomputing
Remote work has become simpler and cost-saving but reliability still needs consistent improvement
CloudConnexa can be improved, particularly because they have many features, but they do have stability issues. I see many times where the stability is not good, and I have seen a few outages with a huge ETA for those outages. It takes a while for them to give a proper ETA, and they often come up with workarounds that I need to run for a long time to address stability. For the log stream, they have a facility to forward logs, but they do not have a good dashboard to filter those logs in their dashboard itself, which for troubleshooting often contains meaningless information. The support is good, and they respond immediately, but the stability issues and the engineering work need to be improved. Stability and logging are the main areas that need improvement.

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.
