It allows you have all GPO settings, ADMX etc applied to windows endpoints that are Azure AD joined. This helps eliminate the need to use Hybrid Azure AD. Without this our endpoints would not pass our security standards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nothing to dislike. I have not run into a problem with PolicPak. There helpdesk is always available to help you solve any problem you may encounter. PolicyPak cloud I would like to see it meet stricker security standards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I don't know how it works, but it works! one of the most straightforward tools to set up and deploy and it starts working instantly! You do not need to be a Group Policy expert to get up and running with deploying policies, so it's also easier to bring in other IT professionals to share the management load without digging through the jungle that is Group Policy settings.
The Least Privilege manager Pak is a security professional's dream come true, being able to lock down administrative rights but still allow the user to install and run already safe and proven applications.
The Browser Router Pak is a devilishly easy way to avoid end-user frustration and reduce phone calls to support just to tell them "use a different browser."
I could go on and on, but the Paks sell themselves with their name and what they do, they allow a full product free 30 day trial, so there is no reason to give them a try. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The cost can start to climb if you have a lot of VDI pools you want to manage as you have to license every computer in your selected OUs. I think they could accomplish the same thing with a block or tiered pricing as the hard part to sell to the budget committee is the "per end device" pricing can feel like it has no upper limit on how much it can cost.

We are using PolicyPak Cloud to manage both office and remote workstations. My favorite features are "Least Priviledge Manager" that allowed us to completely eliminate users' admin rights at workstations, and "Remote Work Delivery Manager" for distributing files to remote workers. We're also using "Administrative Templates Manager" and "Preferences" to push necessary settings to remote workstations.
Documentation is very well written and very detailed, including a lot of videos. Support often responds within minutes after I post a question! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes it is still necessary to create a GPO and then import it into PolicPak Cloud, but most of the configuration can now be done right in the cloud. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The ability to easily push users to use certain browsers with certain web sites with Browser Router. That is the best thing but this has so much to offer it is hard to list everything I like. The other nice thing is it ties so nicely in with your Active Directory Group Policy environment that you don't even need a server to deploy it. Also the upgrades after testing are so simple that you put the new setup file in a folder on the network and the Client Side Extension takes care of updating itself.

Not having more time to spend on the product to get it's full potential. PolicyPak can do so much that they have to have a boot camp in order to teach it all! There was one issue we had with Firefox, ForcePoint and PolicyPak the issue resolved itself so not sure what to say about that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We use PolicyPak cloud which allows the ability to add, update or modify group policy whether computers are on domain are off roaming the internet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Group policy is complicated so while the tool enhances the delivery of group policy it still requires testing and sometimes testing some very technical configurations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
PolicyPak allows us to keep a uniform look across our windows 10 devices and a consistent policy for almost every application we use. Going a step further, we can now set windows apps that are allowed or disallowed to ensure that no users are installing apps that our department does not approve. Least Privilege Manager has been a cornerstone in our security policies. We have removed all local admin permissions and still allow programs to run that require elevation. In a smaller shop, Policy Pak has saved us countless hours in setup and management with how easy the policies are to create and maintain. This is a must for anyone looking to tighten security and enhance uniformity across your network. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
License renewals can be cumbersome at times. However, they have been working to improve this lately with a new universal format. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
This is a great software that is not talked about enough. It will help you manage your endpoint in a much more efficient and compliant way. Highly recommended. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Have not found any problem so far after using it for more than 1 year Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
PolicyPak allowed our orignation to go Azure Ad joined and not have to use Hybrid AD joined. We used PolicyPak to convert any GPO's that were not in Microsoft Endpoint Manager. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nothing to dislike it has worked well for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The best part of policypak for us is the ability to easily whitelist app installs for standard users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Uploading the .xml files to policypak cloud can be a bit of a pain, and having to use the GPO editor sometimes is a pain. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
