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?

If you are not careful about how many devices you have out in the wild you can use up all of your licenses with non-active devices. When this happens you have to manually clear them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This product is used by our EMTs and Fire Fighters to quickly and easily submit reports and patient information while on the road. It allows for instant communication and reduces the need for paper reports to all be filed at once at the end of a shift. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Absolute Secure Access?

It iseasy to install and manage. Setup was straightforward and support is there if you need it. The stability of the connection allows for use of even some very network intensive applications without need for a Citrix desktop or other solution. Being on the VPN is very close to being in the building for a user experience. Security is very high and the dashboard allows for loggin of use.

Our users report a much more stable and lasting connection which facilitates such intensive applications as Solidworks PDM to work so even our remote sales people can discuss drawings and specifications with the customer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Absolute Secure Access?

The Secure Access connection can take over the internet connection and if it fails to connect, (user forgot password etc) then they may have no connection to the internet at all until they disable the connection. This is more difficult as we use Duo 2 factor authentication, and that is not so freindly with no internet connection.

This is easily fixed by setting the client to not automatically connect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We use Solidworks PDM and Infor Visual ERP. Other VPN products did not serve these network intensive appliactions with as solid a connection. User experience is better, and I do not have to maintain so many Virtual desktops that can be used remotely to serve these applications from within the network to a computer they can RDP to. RDP was rather clunky for some to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
