Azure VPN Client 4+

New Version. Still drops connection. Terrible interface.

Do not upgrade! This new version is dropping connections more frequently. This app is so poorly designed it is a wonder it passed review. For example, it has an option for the connection to be kept open indefinitely, BUT you never see that option until a pop-up appears after an our of use. If you miss that popup, the connection drops. That option should be in the app preferences. Nope. It would be nice if it remembered my login info. Nope. Or maybe integrate with Apple's built in VPN tool. Nope. Use open standards. Nope. Synch preferences using iCloud. Nope. it's abysmal.

Microsoft app written by 5-year-old

There is a known bug whereby it caches settings and, if anything changes with your sign in details (such as setting up 2FA, etc.), it becomes unusable. Microsoft support literally don't know how to delete this cache and so they said I should contact Apple! Obviosly it's Microsoft's responsbility. This is absurd and Microsot don't take ownership of their own KNOWN software bugs.

Reliable in Big Sur

I use it for 12-13 hours straight on workdays mostly for remote network printing, and it is a reliable fast connection that hasn't given me any trouble in over a year of use. Others claim that it works just fine with Monterey also.
