User Reviews

Users report frequent reliability and authentication problems on Apple devices. Core issues include unstable connections requiring reinstall or many retries, repeated sign-in and MFA failures, and inability to stay authenticated after disconnect. In-app browser limitations—no hardware key support in embedded mode, no external browser option, and stale or duplicated windows—worsen failures. MacOS/iOS compatibility problems persist, and missing features like multiple portals, widgets, and persistent sessions reduce usability. Some environments (such as school VPNs) work when a connection finally succeeds, but overall reliability remains poor.

Pros

Clean and intuitive interface.
When the VPN connects, it provides access as expected (e.g., for school VPNs).
Used in enterprise environments to provide organizational VPN access.

Cons

Frequent connection failures and instability; often requires uninstall/reinstall or many retries to connect.
Persistent login/authentication problems, including MFA failures and missing input parameters, causing repeated sign-ins.
In-app browser limitations during authentication: no hardware security key support in embedded browser, cannot switch to external browser, and stale or duplicated browser windows.
Significant Apple platform compatibility issues on macOS/iOS (including MacBooks and latest OS updates) causing non-working or unstable connections.
Missing usability features and session reliability: no multi-portal support, no saved URLs or widgets, and no persistent login across sessions.

Recent reviews

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

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.
