Our company uses [Palo Alto Networks] GlobalProtect Mobile Security [Manager] to manage the large number of mobile phones and devices we have around the globe in one place with one common piece of software. This is needed especially now more than ever with almost all of our 5k+ employees located in remote work from home scenarios.
  • Complete control and configuration of iOS devices across our network.
  • Great username options in the latest version to help keep our devices organized and easy to manage.
  • Easy to enroll devices to connect to the VPN.
  • With all of it's unique features it does take some time to get folks up to speed in regards to supporting/managing the software.
  • Doesn't always play nice with non Palo Alto software.
With our work force most remotely for the unforeseeable future this has been an extremely useful tool to manage all our remote VPN access and iOS devices in one place. Easy to install and our users have very little issues getting connected and staying connected. Certificates can be a little tricky sometimes but it's rarely an issue.
  • All devices managed in one place
  • Ability to create different security levels/groups
  • Wide range of configuration options
  • This solved our problem of having more than one piece of software to manage access for different types of mobile devices.
  • Reduced our cost of needing multiple licenses to manage our VPN connectivity outside of the office.
Overall the main features are similar but we liked the ease of creating different configurations and security groups within Palo Alto and thought the cost was better for the overall value.

GlobalProtect addresses both desktop and mobile device security. We use it to permit access to company resources along with being able to manage the devices easily.
  • A single pane of glass in the Palo Alto ecosystem
  • A nice policy-based enforcement GUI that is easily managed
  • Many authentication configuration options supported.
  • Good technical support options with email and phone based.
  • It lags a bit on new features
  • It is best used with an entire Palo Alto environment
As long as you have a corporate standard it is relatively easy to configure and can be easily trained on. It falls short when there are a variety of devices and scenarios to support. The “one offs” make it more difficult to support and upgrade.
  • It is a bit expensive to utilize to its full extent with other Palo products.
  • The GUI is nice and is easy to train on.
The McAfee product really isn’t a great option. The configuration is a nightmare and requires a lot of time. The policy management has a high learning curve.

It was used by the whole organization. It provided secure access to the company network.
  • Easy to configure.
  • Authentication rules can be made as strict as required to satisfy stringent audits.
  • Easy for end users.
  • I thought it did all things required very well.
It is well suited for both small and large organizations. It is very configurable so it can grow with your organization's needs.
  • It allowed us to pass very strict audits from the world's largest banks.
  • It was easy for our IT department to implement.
Easier to implement and configure.
