User Testimonials
	Ivanti Connect Secure	Zscaler Private Access
Likelihood to Recommend	Ivanti Pulse SDP is well suited in an environment where the majority of employees are working remotely or have extensive business travel. In today's environment where cybersecurity is of the utmost importance for all organizations, Pulse SDP provides a solid level of security for those remote employees or those traveling. Incentivized JM Jeff Mullin Regional Sales Director Read full review	Zscaler Well Suited: - Work from home scenario - While working with confidential data - While working with financial data - Office intranet Less Suited: - Reduces internet speed - If the user gets a password, can exit/close the app. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Ivanti Reliable links. Efficient connection timeouts. Incentivized John Keenan Director of Information Security Read full review	Zscaler Access control for overall organization, follows the ZTNA model. Better speed for remote users compared with legacy remote solutions. Better visibility on ZScaler portal, thus better control from central space. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Ivanti The central management tool is not mature. The option to connect before logging in using Network Connect is EOL, and the alternative is not good enough currently (requires machine authentication). Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Zscaler Sometimes the interface crashes and I need to kill it and restart It can unintentionally block some services like dropbox I don't get a notification when I need to re-authenticate Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Support Rating	Ivanti At Adecco, first and foremost, we have Pulse SDP easy to use for our employees. This is a critical factor for us because employees are spending much less time calling into support than engaged in high payoff activities. However, when I have called in for support, Pulse SDP has been responsive and effective. Incentivized JM Jeff Mullin Regional Sales Director Read full review	Zscaler No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	Ivanti The F5 product was more complicated to manage and requires more time to get used to. Juniper VPN is simpler. F5 BIG-IP Access Policy Manager may be better if you need other side solutions like load balancing and GSLB. So, it really depends on your requirements. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Zscaler Both are good but sometimes relationship and cost is the factor to decide the final vendor.

Return on Investment	Ivanti Potential to implement tight controls on third party risk. Reliable remote access. Incentivized John Keenan Director of Information Security Read full review	Zscaler Overall positive Impact. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
