    i believe the solution is needed and can be utilized if you have like multiple environment in your infrastructure (windows and linux) and you want easier and secure remote sessions for your admins. Also if you require comprehensive audit trail logs with good reporting for your audit team, it's also beneficial if you require live monitoring sessions by security department

    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.

    • Could do with a specific dashboard for each remote office.
    • An easier way to share filters between users and menus would be useful.

    I think the solution covered a big gap we had, and we could not find a system in the market that covers the same areas with greats features availability, the solution serves three departments in our organization, the Infrastructure, Security and Audit departments, and this demonstrates how critical and beneficial it is.

    i think manageengine access manager is better overall in the ease of deployment, and the fact that it had native RDP ssh and sql access from a single console.
    The main thing that made the difference is that integrates with the other manage engine solutions ecosystem.
    additionally i believe the overall cost was better in manage engine

    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 Modern UI (Pulse Secure's UI is incredibly outdated), less reconnects, cheaper, less hacks (On April 20, 2021, CISA issued an "Emergency Directive on Pulse Connect Secure"), and simply faster overall connection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.
