As a support professional and user, I can attest to it as a superior, stable product. > > **Cons**: At times, it experiences unstable connections, particularly when switching between Wi-Fi and cellular networks, resulting in endless notification loops or connection failures. > > With robust security features, seamless integration with Palo Alto’s ecosystem, and the ability to provide secure remote access across multi-cloud and hybrid environments, it is greatly appreciated. ----- ### "Stable VPN with expensive additional licenses" — 4.0/5 > **Ema** | *19 August 2026* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Global Protect offers secure and stable connection to your company network trough VPN. It can be customised using Palo Alto firewalls to granularly add user groups that can use the client(integrating with AD per example), offers split tunnel to manage traffic that goes trough gateway or not. Includes multi-factor authentication, compliance check for devices connecting, and selection of multiple gateways. > > **Cons**: It can be difficult to manage the include/exclude domain due to granularity of apps you would like to place. It often uses high resources and occasional connection stability problems. Additionally, I have noticed a negative impact on network speed and have experienced some challenges while using bandwith heavy applications, like MS Outlook causing it to open and work slowly and crash. Palo Alto support lacks professionals and rapid responses. > > My overall experience has been positive. As an administrator of Global protect I have much usage and granularity while using it. I can set compliance, hip checks, AD groups that can access the portal and add multiple gateways. There are very useful logs that you can gather while troubleshooting issues. I dislike that many features need additional expensive licenses such as IpV6 support, split tunneling by app and hip checks. My overall experience as user has been very positive, I haven't noticed any performance degradations or connection drops. ----- ### "Convenient setup, but frustrating usage" — 1.0/5 > **Vince** | *28 March 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: I do like that it supports multiple VPN profiles and makes them easily accessible > > **Cons**: It is unreliable and often times auto submits credentials without me clicking submit. This happens on both the actual credentials and the soft token entry > > It is a very frustrating VPN client. Although it is stable once connected, the connection process is a hit and miss. ----- ### "Great vpn client for Palo Alto firewalls" — 5.0/5 > **Peter** | *21 September 2025* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of use and granular configuration, split tunnel, streaming, built in dhcp, split tunnel by domain names available whcih some other vendors do not support > > **Cons**: Had historic bad releases which had bugs which needed further upgrades to eliminate. But overall stable once you get past any issues > > Postive, granular and a cut above the rest of vpn clients. Can configure msi to include portal address with something like orca, or update from firewall itself ----- ### "GlobalProtect makes the remote working possible in a very smooth way." — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *18 May 2022* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Global Protect is one the best remote working solution supporting multiple features such as you login via SSO, and it support multi factor authentication, we can use any application such as DUO, Google, Microsoft Authenticator apps. With Global it is always easy to access the internal enterprise resources that again in Secure manner, as traffic going back via Firewall. And firewall always first inspect the traffic and then will provide the results to the user. > > **Cons**: It is kind of traditional solution, however I dont see it as the problem if the deployment is correct way then it works better than different Proxy/VPN solutions such as ZScaler, Cisco AnyConnect. > > Overall its been really great experience, we can have one single portal( or redundant portal setup) and then we can have gateway deployed at multiple locations and this really helps us achieving great network results such as better latency and network throughput. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/319084/globalprotect?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/319084/globalprotect) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
