    Reliable, Secure, and Exceptionally Smooth Connection

    Reviewed on Dec 03, 2025
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    The most valuable feature is the reliability and smoothness of its connection. When it comes to security, I am impressed by how ASA evaluates the device's status; if a threat is detected, it instantly blocks access.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    The primary drawback is that in order to take full advantage of its advanced features, you need to be completely integrated into the absolute ecosystem.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    Choosing to adopt this solution has turned out to be an excellent decision. We have overcome the security challenges and performance issues that are often associated with traditional VPNs. This modern security solution operates effectively and ensures seamless access for users.

    Seamless, Reliable VPN Connectivity Perfect for On-the-Go Users

    Reviewed on Oct 28, 2025
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    One of the standout features is its persistent, intelligent VPN connectivity. The service offers a session-persistent VPN, allowing users to switch seamlessly between Wi-Fi, cellular, or wired networks without losing their connection. If the network briefly disconnects, the VPN automatically reconnects without requiring any action from the user. This reliability makes it especially suitable for field workers, remote employees, or anyone who frequently uses laptops or tablets while on the move.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    1. The initial setup and policy configuration can be quite complex. While the platform provides extensive control, this also results in a setup process that can take considerable time. Many administrators note the steep learning curve involved in creating and adjusting access policies, routing rules, and optimization settings. For smaller IT teams, the onboarding experience may feel more demanding compared to simpler VPN solutions.

    🖥️ 2. The user interface of the management console can feel outdated or inconsistent.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    Mobile and remote workers often experience unstable or dropped connections. Traditional VPNs tend to disconnect when users switch between networks or lose their signal, forcing field workers, technicians, and remote staff to repeatedly log back in or restart their applications.

    There is also a lack of visibility once devices leave the corporate network. IT teams struggle to monitor remote endpoints outside the office, making it challenging to troubleshoot slow or failed connections.

    Security risks increase when employees connect from hotels, coffee shops, or mobile hotspots. Without robust, policy-based controls, these connections can expose organizations to threats.

    Standard VPNs also rely on complex, static policies that apply the same rules to everyone. However, organizations require adaptive access that adjusts based on network type, device health, or user role.

    Finally, performance can be limited for cloud and SaaS applications. Encrypted VPN tunnels may slow down business apps, and workers need optimized traffic and fast access, even when using weak cellular connections.

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

    Reviewed on Jun 23, 2025
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    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!
    What do you dislike about the product?
    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.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    Absolute allows us to have a secure and stable connection into our org's infrastructure. It also allows comprehensive insight into network usage and performance.
