ManageEngine Access Manager Plus vs. SonicWall Secure Mobile Access (SMA)

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

SonicWall Secure Mobile Access (SMA) is well suited as a solution for VPN on your phone. It allows our agency's employees to access our data and system from almost any device at any time. SonicWall Secure Mobile Access (SMA) is less appropriate if you need to implement the product in a very short time frame, as it took longer than expected for rollout to staff.

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
