Absolute Secure Access Reviews & Product Details

Absolute Secure Access (formerly NetMotion by Absolute) is one of the company’s core product lines, which was added through the acquisition of NetMotion in July 2021. 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

"Absolute has been one of the best remote connectivity applications we've ever used."

4.5/5

What do you like best about Absolute Secure Access?

Absolute is always on even when there is no user logged on to the machine. We can deploy updates and make sure that the software on the computer is client even before a user logs in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Absolute Secure Access?

My biggest problem with ASAC is the manner in which it registers DNS entries. It makes it difficult to accurately connect to a computer remotely because both the physical network connection and the virtual network connections get registered in DNS. If there was a way to tell the client to register a certain connection depending on the IP address of the physical adapter, that would be excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Absolute Secure Access?

I would love if they would implement more granular policies for ways to send traffic inside or outside the tunnel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
