GlobalProtect™

GlobalProtect for iOS connects to a GlobalProtect gateway on a Palo Alto Networks next-generation firewall to allow mobile users to benefit from enterprise security protection. Enterprise administrator can configure the same app to connect in either Always-On VPN, Remote Access VPN or Per App VPN mode. The app automatically adapts to the end user’s location and connects the user to the best available gateway in order to deliver optimal performance for all users and their traffic, without requiring any effort from the user. This allows users to work safely and effectively at locations outside of the traditional office.

Doesnt prompt for username and password
erice03

How can I connect if it doesn’t prompt for Username or password?

Really bad… Do not recommend at all
Keira090208

I have to use this for school and there is so many problems with this. First of all, It won’t connect half the time, and when it does it goes in and out. This is frustrating because my school set it up so that when the Global Protect isn’t connected, you can’t do anything. And mind you, THIS HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH WIFI OR DATA CONNECTION!!!!! Also, there are times that no MATTER what you do, it won’t connect. Just horrible service and connection. And there’s nothing i can do about it. I am behind on so many assignments now because of this thing so I really DO NOT recommend it. 0 stars.

Buggy, broken, and unreliable

This app is very, very frustrating to use. GlobalProtect works fine on my Mac, but on my iPhone I need to uninstall and reinstall it every time I want to log in, and even then it only works about two-thirds of the time.

Not good

This app is crap. It won’t stay connected. It times out in seconds and before you can do anything you have to go back and reconnect. My company uses this trash app and it’s made my job 5 times harder. Wish we could go back to AnyConnect.

Does the job

Just the click of a button gets me on or off the VPN and I’ve never had issues with it.

Will not work with iOS15

No iOS 15 support

The app is not yet on PaloAlto’s supported list for iOS 15, witch was released back in June of 2021. It works unless your company is using a third party multi factor like Okta.
