Can configure msi to include portal address with something like orca, or update from firewall itself Pros Ease of use and granular configuration, split tunnel, streaming, built in dhcp, split tunnel by domain names available whcih some other vendors do not support Cons Had historic bad releases which had bugs which needed further upgrades to eliminate.

Pros GlobalProtect is easy to deploy and features a user-friendly interface. As a support professional and user, I can attest to it as a superior, stable product. Cons At times, it experiences unstable connections, particularly when switching between Wi-Fi and cellular networks, resulting in endless notification loops or connection failures.

Pros Global Protect is consistent, easy to boot up and, best of all, secure. It enables me to work remotely with confidence. Cons There are times when, due to some kind of system error, GlobalProtect doesn't connect correctly. Fixing it usually doesn't take too much time, but it's often something I need support to rectify.

Director Application Development Information Technology and Services ### "Convenient setup, but frustrating usage" 1.0 Overall Rating 1.0 1.0 Ease of Use 2.0 2.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 3.0 3.0 Likelihood to Recommend 3/10 March 28, 2025 It is a very frustrating VPN client. Although it is stable once connected, the connection process is a hit and miss. Pros I do like that it supports multiple VPN profiles and makes them easily accessible Cons It is unreliable and often times auto submits credentials without me clicking submit. This happens on both the actual credentials and the soft token entry Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

Cela permet de travailler en itinérance, en gare, dans les trains ... Cons Il faut veiller a se connecter en Wifi sur le réseau interne avant d'y accéder en externe, y penser à chaque réinitialisation de MP, sinon le VPN ne fonctionne pas Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort.

IT Systems Specialist Primary/Secondary Education ### "Global Protect - The best remote experience" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 October 2, 2023 Pros We use Global Protect as a VPN for the IT department in our school system so that if we have to be out sick or gone to any of the various Technology in Education conferences held each year we will have secure access back into our network so we can still maintain our network and resolve issues remotely for our administrator, teachers and staff. It is also possible for us to setup a "clientless" instance of Global Protect for our Chromebook devices so that when students take their Chromebooks home they are forced back through our network so that our firewall and content filter is still enforced on all their devices no matter where they are at. Cons The cost of the "clientless" instance is a bit expensive for a public school district but overall it is definitely worth it.

Advisor Higher Education ### "GlobalProtect - keeping users safe and info secure" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 July 5, 2023 Pros SUPER easy to use interface. Basically, I login on the app, and my laptop is ready for VPN access to our organization server. I click connect, and it's good to go. Cons Honestly, nothing to "like least"! It was fast to install and set up, and using it on a daily basis takes almost no effort whatsoever. It works every time.

Student Accounting ### "Global Protect Review" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 March 5, 2023 My overall experience with GlobalProtect is very good. It helps me to access the data which we have put in our private network. Pros With the helps of this software, we can easily access any resources we have put under this VPN. It helps organisation to secure their data, server by putting them behind VPN and only authorized user can access it by login into the system via this VPN. Cons Only problem which i face is the connectivity issue. Due to using this VPN, our internet speed goes down 10 times and sometimes the connectivity get broke because of this.

AU Anonymous User Analyst Accounting ### "Great and effective for companies" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 February 12, 2023 Pros It is great for signing in securely on to corporate network and has the single sign on feature that I use daily on mobile and laptop (Windows). It is lightweight and easy to use user experience makes it a no brainer for companies that have employees working off site outside corporate office for external use. For internal use, it works great for single sign on for work credentials. Cons The user interface feels a bit dated on PC, it could definitely use an uplift on that side, apart from that nothing really painful about the software.
