Smart, Secure Remote Access with AppGate SDP
Zero-trust access has improved our secure VPN connectivity and protected internet usage
What is our primary use case?
My main use case for Appgate SDP is for security purposes. We are trying to use it to connect with our VPNs and the network so that we can improve our organization's security.
A specific example of how we use Appgate SDP for security and with our VPNs is that Danfoss security team has implemented a no-trust policy, requiring everybody to install Appgate SDP with a default account. Whenever we start our system, it will automatically connect to the different VPNs through which our network is going. If it is disabled, we are unable to access the internet, as all our network goes through a firewall. If Appgate SDP is not connected to all of the VPNs, then we are not able to browse the internet.
What is most valuable?
In my experience, the best features Appgate SDP offers are reliable connectivity across different environments and strong policy-based access.
When I mention strong policy-based features, I mean that if I want to secure all the systems in my organization, I can apply a particular policy through which all the network has to go, making it easy to implement security compliance throughout the organization.
Appgate SDP has positively impacted my organization, as we are using it to securely access the internet after the cyber attack. After the implementation of Appgate SDP, I did not hear about any security incidents.
What needs improvement?
If I could change or improve anything about Appgate SDP, it would be to enhance the user experience by improving the UI so that it is more explanatory. Currently, the UI feels as though it is doing something behind the scenes, and at first sight, nobody can understand what this application is for. I think that is the main thing regarding needed improvements.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Appgate SDP for around two years.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that this whole thing is managed by the security team, and there are different teams involved, so I do not have knowledge about cost. I think it is important for security because if a security incident happens, you lose more money than you save.
What other advice do I have?
I do not have anything else to add about my main use case or how it is set up for my team. I do not have anything else about the features I find valuable.
My advice for others looking into using Appgate SDP is to use it, as it is a good application.

Appgate SDP
Appgate SDP is built around the principle of granting only exactly what’s needed — no more, no less. Access is dynamically evaluated based on identity, device posture, context, and policy — which really minimizes exposure and lateral movement risk. Many users praise this as a superior security posture versus traditional VPNs.
Many users mention that initial setup, configuration of policies, and tuning can be complex. It’s not always “plug-and-play.”
While Appgate supports hybrid architectures, some users note that changes (e.g. in the cloud or dynamic scaling) are more complex to reflect in policy / deployment
Benefit : Because internal resources are cloaked and only visible to legitimate sessions, potential attackers have less surface to probe. Even if they penetrate one point, they can’t freely move.
