Absolute Secure Access Overview

What is Absolute Secure Access?

Absolute Secure Access (formerly NetMotion by Absolute) is one of the company’s core product lines, which was added through the acquisition of NetMotion in July 2021. The product portfolio provides resilient network connectivity for users to securely access critical resources in the public cloud, private data centers, and on-premises. These products allow users to transition from traditional VPN to a resilient Zero Trust approach, without impairing productivity or admin controls. Absolute Secure Access encompasses three products: • Absolute VPN provides security and confidentiality for data in motion by means of encryption and access controls. It also offers benefits to the end user, such as making tunnel and network sessions resilient and optimizing streaming video and audio. • Absolute ZTNA provides a software-defined perimeter via Zero Trust Network Access, creating a context-based, logical access boundary around an application or set of applications – wherever they're hosted. It shields applications from the Internet, making them invisible to unauthorized users. Access policies are enforced at the endpoint, avoiding latency and any data transgression. • Absolute Insights™ for Network offers diagnostic and experience monitoring capabilities across endpoints and network, allowing organizations to proactively monitor, investigate, and remediate end user performance issues quickly and at scale, even on networks that are not company-owned or managed

What do you like best about Absolute Secure Access?

The user interface is really something great. I could go on and on about how genius this UI is, but in short, it just gives you so much control all in one place. The ability to fail over seemlessly is very helpful, especially when updating and patching servers. I can't say enough good things! Tech support is truly outstanding. I use this product daily and am so impressed with it. Updates are relatively easy to implement, but if ever I have an issue, tech support guides me to success quite quickly and easily. Integrating modifications to policies and deploying new client versions is also made very simple. Overall, remarkable product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Absolute Secure Access?

Literally, the only minus that I could offer is that I prefer a dark theme or setting and the Secure Access Control does not have that option. Very minor critique for sure! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Absolute Secure Access solving and how is that benefiting you?

Absolute Secure Access provides us with the ability to safeguard our criminal justice information on our mobile communication terminals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Absolute Secure Access?

I have recently updated to the new Absolute Secure Access branded version 13.08 and the process was a breeze. The client update run well and are easy to set up.

The web console is easy to navigate, and the help pages are easily accessible. Support is a phone call away; they are usually easy to talk to and knowledgeable. Many times I will get a follow-up email with helpful links. Many of the support staff are former users or administrators.

Works well with Azure 2fa. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Absolute Secure Access?

Documentation is sometimes hard to find on their help site. Examples are scarce. If I ask for support, they will get me a link. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Absolute Secure Access solving and how is that benefiting you?

VPN for our users that are connected via Cellar. it allows for connection resilience. If they drive into a bad coverage area they are not automatically dropped. Also used for users connected to infrastructure Wi-Fi. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Absolute Secure Access?

I like that Absolute Secure Access help me to get protection when I my phone is connecting with public wifi, which is unreliable if not using VPN service to protect phone from hacker attack. I just need to activate the VPN to protect the connection and no other complex setup needed. They also gives unlimited bandwidth and I don't to keep monitoring my internet usage traffic anymore. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Absolute Secure Access?

Nothing is broken or difficult with this application. It is smooth sailing from the first time I am using it until now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Absolute Secure Access solving and how is that benefiting you?

Secure internet connection, especially when I want to access to confidential document from company document storage. Able to switching to different server if the current server is slow without additional cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Absolute Secure Access?

I like the robust security and deployment options. You can really fine tune and lock down a connection to make it very secure Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Absolute Secure Access?

The constant name changing and website changes. Like if I go into one of our Netmotion consoles and try to activate a license the link in the console does not go to the new website. It goes to the old one that doesn't work. Won't be an issue after I upgrade to Absolute on that console to Netmotion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Absolute Secure Access solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have a Police Department. Absolute allows us to have a secure connection that will automatically connect when an officer logs into Windows on the squad car tablet. Connection automatically reconnects itself if cell service is interrupted. With our old VPN solution you had to launch a seperate APP before connecting to our network resources and software. There is nothing for the user to mess up so we don't have any trouble with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Absolute Secure Access?

The best thing about Absolute Secure Access is that you are always connected to your network. You don't even have to worry about VPN disconnect. From updates to client installs Absolute is one of the easiest solutions to keep up to date. Their customer support has been very quick to resolve all issues we have had over the years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Absolute Secure Access?

We were a little concerned when Netmotion was going to become Absolute Secure Access. I've been through that rodeo before and things can get real messy after a switch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Absolute Secure Access solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our fleet has Mobile Data Terminals and for years we had been using a standard VPN. I saw a demo of Absolute (it was NetMotion when we acquired it) and loved the connection and security. We tested it in a few vehicles and it worked perfectly. We ended up ditching our old VPN and installed Absolute to our entire fleet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Absolute Secure Access?

When Netmotion was going to become Absolute Secure Access, I had some concerns being scared if the service would remain as excellent as it had always being. And the answer to that my friend, is YES!

Absolute secure Access is just about one of the best VPN remote access solutions out there. It offers seamless remote connectivity and secure access to our corporate network. It is quite easy to setup, install and manage. I also find the software is very user friendly, even to non-tech savvy clients. We setup the VPN on our client laptops for in car and WFH use. Once setup, it is ready to go, with minimal need for tech support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Absolute Secure Access?

If you are not careful, you can have inactive devices using up available licenses. I had to write a PowerShell script to occasionally go into the server and cleanup devices that haven't been used for a while, to make room for more. It would be nice if this was an inbuilt feature, and I didn't have to write a script. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Absolute Secure Access solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have multiple cars on the road, connecting over cellular data, and some staff working remotely. We use Absolute Secure Access for seemly and secure connectivity back to our corporate network. Clients can securely access network resources. Another great feature is the Always-On VPN. This allows our remote clients and devices to always stay securely connected to the corporate network, even when transitioning between different networks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Absolute Secure Access?

I like that Absolute Secure Access allows us to land devices onto our network in specific VLANs, maintain application connectivity even when physical connections drop, and gives us analytics helpful in identifying problem areas in our service area. The customer support has been efficient and helpful along the way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Absolute Secure Access?

Absolute Secure Access did require a fair amount of network infrastructure work in our environment to get completely functional, but this makes sense given the complexity of our environment and the challenges of integration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Absolute Secure Access solving and how is that benefiting you?

Absolute Secure Access provides us a secure VPN solution over any internet connection for Public Safety use cases. This allows us to be compliant with CJIS requirements, while also having an operationally stable, fast, and secure solution for connectivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Absolute Secure Access?

It works as expected. For us it is a set it and forget it type of software. When vulnerabilities are discovered, the company sends emails with instructions to remediate. Updating the clients software is super easy. Support has been helpful when needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Absolute Secure Access?

There isn't much about this system that is bad. If I had to pick something it would be that I have to reapply a new license each year. It would be better if their system just changed the dates like other systems I manage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
