Appgate
It is best suited for larger companies with lots of remote workers that need complex access management. We've barely scratched the surface on what Appgate can do via its API.

It's a great VPN overall. We got it bundled with Dashlane which is great value. We use it to connect to our system and services when outside of our designated office workspace which is secure and encrypted. VPN is easy to use, not complains there. It just works! I would recommend it! At this price point, there is not a better solution.

Cons
Appgate
  • Live logging in the client. Currently you have to "download" the logs into a zip file and then open that zipfile to look at the logs. There's no logfile to tail or watch.
  • Load balancing between controllers could be better. Currently relies on round robin DNS and sometimes a browser will pick a different IP than previous and you'll get a big "LOST CONNECTION TO CONTROLLER" message.

The company has been supportive overall of our needs and desired features. I have not personally called the support services, but I've heard no direct complaints either.

Alternatives Considered
Appgate
The existing system was FortiGate. The management of the system was a hassle. Because IT personnel had to manually create VPN accounts, user passwords were known to who created them and the end user did not have a way to change them. This created a security issue in the event an IT engineer left the company.
