Strong Zero-Trust / Least Privilege Model

Appgate SDP is built around the principle of granting only exactly what’s needed — no more, no less. Access is dynamically evaluated based on identity, device posture, context, and policy — which really minimizes exposure and lateral movement risk. Many users praise this as a superior security posture versus traditional VPNs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Complex Deployment / Learning Curve

Many users mention that initial setup, configuration of policies, and tuning can be complex. It’s not always “plug-and-play.”

While Appgate supports hybrid architectures, some users note that changes (e.g. in the cloud or dynamic scaling) are more complex to reflect in policy / deployment Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Manage complex user access assignments easily under a simple UI.

Appgate's support and customer success teams are fantastic, responsive, and very friendly.

Appgate can be used to reduce network complexity while still maintaining security. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In addition to our own users, we sometimes setup access for our clients to get to very specific resources. License management can sometimes be challenging if you have a number of clients needing access for short periods of time because each connection consumes a license for 30-days.

Appgate is very powerful but still very flexible. You can deploy it in several different ways and cover any scenario. You can protect any type of device or Software, from servers and IOT devices to SaaS platforms.

You have total control of the solution reducing the need to trust 3rd parties when it comes to security or availability.

You can also integrate with several identity providers and log tools, giving you total control of the solution and also allowing you to integrate with solutions that you already use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AppGate is highly advanced and offers multiple integration options, such as with an external SIEM integration system. It also comes with extensive documentation, and the configuration process is not particularly challenging. There is an option to enable two-factor authentication for both end users and administrators accessing the panel. It allows for setting various policies for individual users as well as the entire organization, providing flexibility for companies. Additionally, the end-user experience is extremely simple and requires virtually no interaction beyond logging in. The support from the manufacturer, not only during the initial configuration but also throughout further usage, is incredibly professional and reliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As of today, after using this solution for a long time, I do not see any drawbacks worth mentioning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While providing extremely secure network access, it is also very friendly to use for both Admins in configuration and users for access. Appgate is also a favorite vendor of mine because of their scheduled monthly follow up meetings. I wish all vendors did this. Most of the time they are very quick, nothing to report from our end, but even on those it gives me a chance to find out latest features, or triggers something in my past month that I have as a question. The product is great, but the customer service puts them over the top. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only negative thing I would say is I wish there were template/defaults during the initial setup, expansion. You have to configure access to IP/Ports and I would think there would be some standard templates for things like Print Servers, Windows File Servers, etc. - but we had to trial/error some things. Appgate was great at helping me through this, but I wish there were some templates to have more confidence we got it 100%. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Appgate SDP is a great product, a real ZTNA solution with true implementation of LPA (least privileged access) and JITA (just in time access) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Everything is great about this product, I didn't really found any downsides or have anything to dislike. One thing to mention - we have experienced some issues with users connecting from CGNAT networks - the SPA technology and mutual TLS sometimes doesn't work with these providers over IPv4 connection. The solution was using IPv6 which works out of the box with Appgate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is one of the best VPNs that I have seen so far. It's easy to connect and provides a variety of site we can conenct to. Due to this I have been using it on a daily basis. I almost always keep it connected so that I don't have to worry about privacy of my laptop. This VPN definitely provides one of the best support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At one time, when I just started using Appgate, it was causing problems with my home wi-fi. Internet wasn't working when I connected to AppGate. At that time, I had to contact the support team to get it fixed. Although it happens sometimes with other VPNs as well, so it's not the fault of AppGate.

One more thing, sometimes if even one of the VPN site is not working, at that time, some of the websites don't work properly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
