The product portfolio provides resilient network connectivity for users to securely access critical resources in the public cloud, private data centers, and on-premises. These products allow users to transition from traditional VPN to a resilient Zero Trust approach, without impairing productivity or admin controls. Absolute Secure Access encompasses three products: • Absolute VPN provides security and confidentiality for data in motion by means of encryption and access controls. It also offers benefits to the end user, such as making tunnel and network sessions resilient and optimizing streaming video and audio. • Absolute ZTNA provides a software-defined perimeter via Zero Trust Network Access, creating a context-based, logical access boundary around an application or set of applications – wherever they're hosted. It shields applications from the Internet, making them invisible to unauthorized users. Access policies are enforced at the endpoint, avoiding latency and any data transgression. • Absolute Insights™ for Network offers diagnostic and experience monitoring capabilities across endpoints and network, allowing organizations to proactively monitor, investigate, and remediate end user performance issues quickly and at scale, even on networks that are not company-owned or managed * * * Product Website Absolute Secure Access Seller [Absolute Security](https://www.g2.com/sellers/absolute-security) Discussions [Absolute Secure Access Community](https://www.g2.com/products/absolute-secure-access/discuss) Languages Supported German, English, Japanese Solution Type All-in-One Overview by Brittany Freitas Show More ## Value at a Glance Averages based on real user reviews. ### Time to Implement 2 months [ View More Pricing Information ](https://www.g2.com/products/absolute-secure-access/pricing) ![Verified User in Legal Services](/assets/icons/anonymous-avatar-purple-4ae1032bdb50ee5682003170c8184aee790d25958bd397abbd384ba52c596a7b.svg "Verified User in Legal Services") AL Verified User in Legal Services Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 8/2/2023 "Absolute Secure Access - Was better than the competitors" 3.5/5 What do you like best about Absolute Secure Access? In my first review of Absolute Secure Access everything that I said is still true. Their always-on, suspended-state VPN client is still awesome for what we do and how we use it, especially for devices that use applications remotely that connect to a database. Anyone who uses SQL knows that even the slightest blip can cause issues using any software that bounces off a database which is very annoying for both the users and those of us who have to administer it. Absolute's improved functionality thru the easy-to-use web console has given us more flexibility to be able to put our VPN client in a bypass state while working inside the 4 walls of the office which reduces network usage. Another plus in the Absolute side of things. It has allowed us to more easily communicate with devices remotely rather than playing the game of deciding which network adapter is registered in DNS today. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Absolute Secure Access? This is the part of the survey that will explain why not only have I reduced my overall score of Absolute but why we are actually moving away from Absolute entirely at the end of this year when our licensing agreement is up. When dealing with a company, especially one that we give a lot of money to year-after-year for their services, how they treat me in response to that does rate very highly for me. Customer service with Absolute has gotten a little complicated over the last year or two. If you ask a support question more often than not you're hit with a response that links to a doc that may or may not answer your question as opposed to having a conversation with someone. Also, as with any tech company getting bigger these days, you may be met with someone who is a paid Helpdesk support person who spends days-into-weeks collecting information and leaving the problem unsolved. Because of degradation in service we will be moving away from Absolute, as previously stated, and moving forward with our firewall vendor's always-on VPN client, FortiClient. We have a personal, open communication with the engineers who will be working with us and are available at the ready. We would rather pay them than Absolute. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Absolute Secure Access solving and how is that benefiting you? They are providing us with a client that is secure and easily manageable while also keeping our users from having annoying downtown or disconnect issues. A big motivating factor that Absolute offered, as stated in my review of what's good about this client, is the suspended state that Absolute can stay in versus the competitor. This seems like a small thing but in practice it's huge. Our prevous clients, when something went wrong such as disconnecting, power or network outage, or any other temporary blip in connectivity, our users would have to essentially restart their days at times by closing down all open programs that require a consistent connection to our firm's servers to operate. Our DMS would have to re-establish a connection from scratch, our programs such as the Office suite that use that DMS connection would also have to be closed down and reopened as a simple refresh option isn't available, and our time management programs that require a consistent connection to the database would have to be restored. This was a pain if it happened during the day. Absolute's ability to suspend its connective state stopped all of that from happening. That alone is worth the change of program.

Head of IT Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 8/13/2023 "Absolute Secure - NetMotion VPN" 4/5 What do you like best about Absolute Secure Access?

Cyber and Systems Engineer Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 6/23/2025 "Absolute is a very reliable and capable VPN security solution! Recommended." 4/5 What do you like best about Absolute Secure Access? Absolute has a comprehensive Insight tool that allows you to understand Client workflow even in a split tunnel configuration. This has been great for troubleshooting network and environment access issues, and finding new policy opportunities. Single sign-on works well and connections are very stable! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Absolute Secure Access? A negative aspect would be lack of management on the server side as this is a cloud-based solution that lives in Absolute's environment. Support is fairly responsive though when changes are required, especially during the on-boarding phase. Many policies may have to be built out depending on your org's needs. But once they are completed, they behave as expected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Absolute Secure Access solving and how is that benefiting you?

The software optimizes network traffic to improve performance, especially for bandwidth-intensive applications like VoIP and video, even over marginal network conditions.
