Cisco IOS SSL VPN Reviews

My company uses the product to get Cisco AnyConnect client to connect to our internal network.

The most valuable features of the solution are its ease of use and the fact that you can apply multi-factor authentication on it.

I use Cisco Duo for multi-factor authentication, and Cisco has enhanced it to meet our company's requirements. Multi-factor authentication in Cisco IOS SSL VPN has certain shortcomings that need improvement.

I have been using Cisco IOS SSL VPN for ten years. I am an end user of the solution. I don't remember the version of the product we use in our company.

The solution can be deployed in a couple of weeks.

The solution can be deployed on a hybrid cloud.

Our company has not calculated the exact ROI.

I use the solution whenever I'm not using my office Wi-Fi. I switch on the VPN to connect to any Wi-Fi outside my work location. I have to use my username and password from my work. The solution is used for security. I work for the HR department. We have a lot of confidential organizational data.

A few days ago, I was trying to convert a PDF into PPT, but I could not do it on my work laptop because it had confidential information and I was on VPN. The VPN warned me that the document had confidential information about the organization and that I could not upload it on an external server. That's how the solution protects the organizational data for security purposes.

The solution is pretty fast. It is easy to download and easy to use. I just have to put in my username and password to use the security feature. It always gives a warning. It helps me because I don't want my manager to know if I'm using confidential information outside work. The warning helps me stop the task I am performing. I use Microsoft applications like Teams, Outlook, and OneDrive to collaborate at work. I can use the applications on my laptop when I'm on VPN.

Sometimes, the product does not connect with the Wi-Fi. It usually does, but sometimes, if I'm using another Wi-Fi apart from my work Wi-Fi, it does not connect. It shows some error. If I have to work in a remote location, it gets difficult. When it happens, I have to restart the computer. The performance is not always effective. The performance could be improved.

I have been using the solution since July last year.

The tool is quite stable. Once I connect to a network, it rarely gets disconnected. Sometimes, it doesn't get connected from the get-go. However, when it gets connected, it's quite stable.

The tool is pretty scalable. The organization that I work for has millions of employees. There are 50,000 in my batch alone. Everyone uses the solution.

I contacted technical support when I faced issues. The support team helped me out on the same day.

It was pretty easy to install the product. It took one to two minutes. I had to go to the website, search for Cisco VPN’s free version, and download it. To install it, I required the username and password from the IT department in my organization. I don't have the access to download or install a program. The IT personnel provided the username and password, and I was able to download the file. When I ran the file, I could go through the installation wizard. I had an icon on my desktop and the taskbar when it was downloaded. It requires my username and password every time I click on it.

The solution keeps my data safe. It protects me from malicious downloads and unauthorized uploads. It's pretty easy and fast to install and use. It doesn't take up much of my laptop’s RAM. My laptop does not get slow while using the solution in the background.

The solution is pretty easy to use. My recommendation depends on what purpose someone wants to use the tool for. If someone wants to use it for work purposes, it's quite good. It warns and protects us from viruses or sharing confidential information outside the organization. I use the tool for free as an employee of my organization. I have used other VPNs only on my mobile phone. Those tools were better at connecting to the network. Cisco is the second-best product I have used. Overall, I rate the product an eight out of ten.

The solution connects to the DNS network in some internet workloads.

The platform has good stability. However, we get logged out of a session if we don't use it for a long time. Otherwise, it works fine.

Earlier, we connected the VPN using a traditional two-factor authentication method, likely using hardware tokens or a similar mechanism. In comparison, Cisco IOS SSL VPN provides a simpler username and password-based authentication.
