Enterprise VPN Solution

Looking for a Enterprise VPN solution that we can use in Azure. We currently have Forticlient which works really well for people that have good internet, but not so good if they don’t. We have used AnyConnect which I feel was better then Forti client, but I am looking for an Always On VPN that just works. I was thinking like NetMotion or Pulse or something like that. Does anyone have some recommendations?

OpenVPN! Really good track record of being more secure. (According to the database of CVEs…) So good, its often the real engine under the hood of many commercial firewalls. (Sophos and Watchgard off the top of my head.)

But, my dude, a polished turd is still a turd. If internet is crap, it isn’t going to matter what you use.

We use Netscalers and Pulse.

Both are rock solid, but management is very different. Pulse is point and click easy to admin. Very very straight forward.

Netscalers…point and click for the most part but you quickly get lost in profiles and policies and end up calling an engineer.

I’d go with Pulse.

Have you looked at Windows Always-On VPN? You would need Win10 Enterprise though.

We’re looking at Fortinet in Azure as well.

But mostly we’re removing all VPNs where we can. What’s the reason you need a VPN to start with? Mobility onwards is removing VPN.

Well, I would suggest giving ASAv a try and TAC through the SBL configuration part to get what you desire.

I would be glad to try and help with this. We have a solution you could try that just works. You can run it in Azure, AWS, GCP, or really any cloud, container or vm. You can then install on user devices, install on your servers and everything auto configures like a big ethernet switch in the cloud with optimized paths and aes 256bit security. We also have Azure AD on our short term roadmap, in addition to Okta. Our system is called BigNetwork.com -- feel free to reach out on here with any questions. I am one of the founders.

Thanks. I have a demo with pulse next week. Also have demo with netmotion which also looks solid.

Yes I have looked at the Azure vpn gateway but doesn’t support enough sslvpns clients. We do alot of work in schools and we find ipsec often blocked so we need ssl. Running a RAS in azure is not supported but I hear many companies do it with no problem. It will default to ipsec but fail over to ssl vpn if not available, the azure vpn gateway doesn’t. I just hate running something that is not officially supported.

We still have some software that everyone uses, and have to be on the VPN. One day I hope we are all cloud and no more vpn.

Why does said software have to be on VPN? Most of it can be solved today if it doesn’t require the PC itself to do simulation/similar
