Absolute Secure Access Reviews & Product Details

Absolute Secure Access Product Details

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

"Absolute is a very reliable and capable VPN security solution! Recommended."

4/5

What do you like best about Absolute Secure Access?

Absolute has a comprehensive Insight tool that allows you to understand Client workflow even in a split tunnel configuration. This has been great for troubleshooting network and environment access issues, and finding new policy opportunities. Single sign-on works well and connections are very stable! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Absolute Secure Access?

A negative aspect would be lack of management on the server side as this is a cloud-based solution that lives in Absolute's environment. Support is fairly responsive though when changes are required, especially during the on-boarding phase. Many policies may have to be built out depending on your org's needs. But once they are completed, they behave as expected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Zanonet Review of Netmotion"

5/5

What do you like best about Absolute Secure Access?

Really great and reliable VPN. Easy to manage and upgrade. Company is easy to work with when you have trouble calls or questions. Have not had many in a while. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Absolute Secure Access?

Nothing much, its really stable. Good quality product. Maybe if it was a little cheaper in cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Absolute Secure Access:

If your network requires a secure remote solution needing a resilient connection option that works nicely while roaming (IE a vehicle) I would highly reccomend using Netmotion. We used to use a traditional VPN client and it would drop often when there was a gap or little connectivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"NetMotion is magic"

5/5

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.

Application Persistence is the feature we use most, along with Roaming though coverage gaps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Absolute Secure Access?

The main downside for me is getting other teams to think of it as more than just a VPN. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Absolute Secure Access:

It is a great product that allows users to stay connected even if their underlying network changes (LAN>WLAN>WWAN). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We have a large group of employees in the field that need connectivity in and out of Cellular coverage all the time. Secure Access maintains the connection through these coverage gaps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to user VPN security software"

5/5

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.

"Top notch support A+"

5/5

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.

"Absolute"

3.5/5

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.
