![]() ![]() I'm not sure how much you can manage via Terraform, but these solutions are cloud based and don't require on prem infra. Prisma, Zscaler, and Cloudflare Zero Trust are all leading this space and move beyond traditional VPN access models. Overall, I think this is going to affect their renewals. It really seems like Ivanti is trying to cut costs by outsourcing what should be their cloud licensing infra onto the customer. It's more expensive but it's less licensing bullshit. My team has actually discussed screw the license server and just buy licenses that are local to each VPN node. I'm more than happy to give vendors money, but giving vendors money and having to spend engineering hours on a half baked solution so their garbage licensing model can work is beyond me. The fact that your own appliances can't reach out to their cloud to verify license compliance, and you need to run license servers on your own infra is one of the worst decisions I've ever seen made by any company. I really would hate to even have to log in to a VPN appliance to get it to work, let alone initiate an RMA process. ![]() #Pritunl commercial reddit codeare there any VPN vendors that understand one may want to run them in the cloud and are set up for it? The company I work for has all infrastructure as code in terraform, I can spin up infra for the web site (main business) with a few terraform apply commands. When I informed Ivanti that this could be a deal breaker and I may have to look for another vendor, I was offered a call with "AWS Expert", but I fear they won't have much better news. And because the process may take some time, as the stop gap I was offered to contact a sales guy and request a trial license. #Pritunl commercial reddit updatewhenever I need to update one, or maybe when VM dies as it happens occasionally in the cloud), I'd have to initiate an RMA process. I can deal with abysmal config management and backup imports (API imports don't work, but thankfully I can simulate user clicks in GUI) and I can deal with many many other things.īut I just got off the call with them and I was informed that in order to move a license from one appliance to another (so. I can deal with 50% success rate when updating the appliance in AWS and it taking hours - I just kill it and create new one. I can accept that their terraform templates are useless and create my own. I can deal with documentation being absent. It has been frustrating to say the least. I have a couple of Pulse Secure (now Ivanti Secure) appliances in the data center that I need to move into AWS. ![]()
