this is the worst adapter client i've ever seen. Can't believe you network nerds talked enterprises into this shit.

Works for my company and our 10's of thousands of endpoints

I suspect like anything it's often the implementation and not the product that's flawed

literally i just push "connect" because the SSLvpn profiles are pre-loaded and auto-updated by IT.
and then enter username/password and it's done.

only thing easier is having an 891 router at home that's permanently VPN'd into work and just connecting wirelessly to it gets me online.

Anything can VPN.

Here are my gripes:

Doesn't get along well with any enterprise AV.
Doesn't get along AT ALL on a multiple user environment.
In segmentation mode you are essentially piggy backing off the other user and literrally a require for auth.

At least for me - it errors up all the time with host scan errors and security requirement failures.

Fire your VPN people

Both my current and my previous workplaces have used it with a high degree of success. Not sure what your guys are doing wrong.

vpn is so 90s. put it in the cloud, secure it properly, use bastions where necessary.

i’ve had no issues with it, works fairly well

You guys are clearly not using it in an industrial DoD environment.

Over 90% of my clients use a Citrix/Cisco VDI/VM solution for contractors and employees. Many of them are letting employees use personal devices and they connect over a VDI solution. I've seen horrible implementations of it and great implementations of it.

The biggest pain in the ass for me is having 6 projects going on at once and having to connect to 6 different vpn/vdi/vm solutions at once. Then they make us use their internal emails/calendars and I have to keep track of meetings across 3-4 Exchange servers.

Don't get me started on clients that can't figure out modern technology and actually ship laptops to us with VPNs.

One time I had a client in Canada who didn't like the idea of SFTP so they had me bring all their data back to the US and our data center on secure hard drives from Best Buy.

I see clients getting tired of providing contractors equipment to use to connect to their resources. Never seen VDI in action but im guessing thats the future.

Of the 25 or so clients I've worked with in the past couple years only 2 have actually provided physical laptops. It's almost always a VM or VDI solution that doesn't let you copy/paste out of it so you can use it on personal devices. It saves the company's money because they can just have a bunch of thin clients on prem and then if users want to work remotely they can use their own devices. I'm seeing more and more companies not provide laptops to their employees and only give them that option.

As someone who designs VDI environments for a living, VPNs can die in a fire.
