I congratulate paloalto for their good work, it is an operational and very functional tool.

Marketing Coordinator

GlobalProtect provides a great value especially in the time of working from home. Accessing all data you have on your work servers from the comfort of your home, or anywhere else, is priceless.

Postdoctoral Research Associate

I prefer to have more control as an end-user. From an administrative standpoint, I suspect IT support would have to bear much of the burden of debugging their own users' issues.

Music Director

GlobalProtect has proven to be a very secure VPN tool for our company. Other than starting it up - it works seamlessly.

Software Engineer

GlobalProtect has been really useful for our organization. It works fine even if there is heavy traffic.

VACT Senior Program Assistant

I had an issue connecting and it seemed to mess up my password within our company's system.

A similar issue has been the overall lack of options in the user interface. It appears to be a "one-shot" software that either works in its pre-configured way or doesn't work at all.

I installed the software on both my laptop and personal desktop. It worked on my laptop pretty straightforwardly and has been easy to use there.

Online Instructional Designer

The software was easy to use when connecting to our VPN. I used the VPN when accessing shared files, drives, and our organization's portal.

It's also strange I can't fully quit the software -- it can only be "disabled" and asks you to type in a reason for wanting to disable.

Ivanti Connect Secure

My overall experience with GlobalProtect is very good. It helps me to access the data which we have put in our private network.

Global Protect Review

Overall its been really great experience, we can have one single portal( or redundant portal setup) and then we can have gateway deployed at multiple locations and this really helps us achieving great network results such as better latency and network throughput.

GlobalProtect makes the remote working possible in a very smooth way.

If the software could be made more reliable, flexible, and informative (with respect to debugging), then it would potentially be worth using. In its current state, however, I don't think it reaches this threshold.

Okayish kind of VPN

GlobalProtect has proven to be a very secure VPN tool for our company.  Other than starting it up - it works seamlessly.

Easy VPN

The software works pretty well, it doesn't get frozen, it provides the protection that it offers the interface is friendly and easy to install on the users' computers. we can manage access to applications and data, control the traffic on the devices, and create rules to identify malicious activities. 

overall information

Our organization used Global Protect as a VPN connection but ultimately switched to another product due to cost and what was unreliable connectivity for us. 

Used as Remote Employee

Simple and useful application

Global Protect - best VPN

Good. First use is easy and you don't need to think about the process when using it again.

Simple user authentication for global companies

GlobalProtect let me connect quickly and remotely.  Though our company does not want us working remotely much, this was a snowstorm and I was not able to get the office.  I was approved and Global Protect allowed me to access everything that I would at my office computer.
