I agree, they need to support Linux, Mac, Android, iOS and Windows at the minimum for us to adopt it. It’s great that they support IPSec, but the client support needs to be there too.

If Microsoft succeeds in making it multi-platform and multi-purpose, I think they have a shot at this. If not, it’ll be a tough call.

Thanks for explaining in a concise and clear manner, Thijs! This makes it easy to wrap my head around and a great place to point customers to!

Entra Private Access is a dead duck. Firstly, supplying a Windows only client is useless in today’s modern client agnostic environment. Where are the MacOS, iOS, Android & Linux clients? If MS aren’t supplying those clients, companies are going to have to use another product to support those. Why should a company use two products when one does the whole job?

The other point MS are missing is that many vendors support SSL VPNs. Sure, they don’t cover every use case, but they’re a lot easier to deploy. (i.e. There are no clients to deploy as it’s all done via a browser)
