"GlobalProtect VPN software"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Palo Alto Networks GlobalProtect?

Ease of use and configuration. Management does not require regular changes or tweaking. Once the software is installed, the configuration doesn't need input every time and just connects in 2 clicks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Palo Alto Networks GlobalProtect?

Software cannot be turned off. It can be disconnected, but if it is installed it will always be on waiting to connect. Not a problem for most users, but for some it can be an annoyance for some users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Palo Alto Networks GlobalProtect:

Great product and very easy to use and install. Highly recommend the PA-500 and PA-220 as firewalls that allow us to connect with GlobalProtect. Licensing includes clients for PC, but not for mobile devices. Using the iOS Global Protect app requires additional licensing, but you can just put the VPN settings into the iOS default VPN settings without the app and ti works just as well.

What problems is Palo Alto Networks GlobalProtect solving and how is that benefiting you?

Global protect allows us to configure remote users with VPN access to connect into our environment from anywhere with internet access. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
