Palo Alto Networks GlobalProtect
Most Helpful Favorable Review
Verified User in Government Administration
Basic Global Protect comes free with the base Palo package, which is pretty nice for a full featured VPN solution. Easy to configure a basic VPN connection and use policies to restrict user access.

Sometimes it is slow to connect causing loss of time. Also some public wi-fi are blocked
