User reviews

iPhones unavailable to connect

Provided by my employer. Worked only once after a new install. Need to delete and reinstall every time I need it. No other solutions work. Ridiculously useless

VPN이라지만 맞나..?

우선 앱을 통해 vpn이 잘 되다 말다 잘 되다 말다 하다가 하루종일 먹통되기도 함.. 이걸로만 원격 븥다간 나중에 크게
당합니다. 안정성때문에 별 0개를 주고싶지만 최소가 한개라 한개는 드립니다.

Authentication Failed

On a fresh install of the app, I input my organization’s portal address and reach my organization sign in and MFA steps. Following successful MFA with Microsoft Authenticator the global protect app says authentication failed with error code -1 and to contact administrator for support. My orgs IT was not able to resolve the issue. Organizations should use proven solutions from other vendors.

Not able to login

Not able to login, getting error browser should be edge.

Great when it works

I use this app to access my schools VPN and it works wonderfully when it actually connects. Many times I have to try and connect over a dozen times for it to work and sometimes it just doesn’t connect period. Other times it connects right off the bat with no issues.
