Absolute Secure Access Reviews & Product Details

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 bi-directional aspect of the technology eliminates so many problems associated with managing workstations. It pays for itself within the first few months! I love that we can take an old application and allow the end-users to keep working with it while they are out of the office. NetMotion makes this feasible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Absolute Secure Access?

Mobile device management is the only area that needs time to grow. I like that they are focused on security but they need some more functionality to compete with the original MDM suites, especially since they price it out the same as a laptop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

NetMotion was the key system for our team to support our end users during Covid19. Having it standardized on both laptops and desktops allowed our clients to pickup and go work from home like they were in the office. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Absolute Secure Access?

Ease of use, fresh new look. New features and the caching functionality when clients are in dead zones. Really a great product! Im not sure if there is another page to mention the support specialist so I willl throw this here. I worked with Ashley Hill over the last 24 hours and cant say enough good things about him. He is fast to respond, thorough in his knowledge, a great listener and just super friendly. You have a good one there! Give him a raise!!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Absolute Secure Access?

Nothing, this is just one of our VPN solutions and is much better than the other products we use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Absolute Secure Access?

The software optimizes network traffic to improve performance, especially for bandwidth-intensive applications like VoIP and video, even over marginal network conditions. It can reduce TCP/IP overhead and selectively compress data to minimize data usage. Especially since the shift to remote work, businesses need solutions that can provide reliable and secure access from home networks or public Wi-Fi. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Absolute Secure Access?

Depending on the specific features and scale of deployment, the licensing model might become somewhat complex, requiring careful consideration during the procurement process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Absolute Secure Access?

Self-hosting is great and I never have had any problems with the service. Easy setup and licensing. The software is super user-friendly, even for non-techy folks. Great that I can deploy specific profiles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Absolute Secure Access?

It very rarely has issues, but the only real one is disconnects in situations where there is a constant connection to devices that go in-and-out of cellular service areas. We run towboats and cell service can be great near ports, but awful on open river. A reboot fixes this 99% of the time, seriously. It's just a minor complaint. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

As a towboat company, we transport barges with materials and use an industry-specific client-server operations software for logging/location reporting of our vessels. Absolute Secure Access helps us in providing a secure connection to our Operations server, and allowing us to set machine or user-specific settings easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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 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.
