Cisco IOS SSL VPN Reviews

The people who implement the solution are from the operations team in our company. My team is called the planning and solution team in our company, which looks after the initial planning and designing of deployment, and then later on, the deployment is taken care of by a different team.

Cisco IOS SSL VPN usefulness varies according to purposes and depends on your solution. Cisco IOS SSL VPN can be useful for cases involving site-to-site VPN, client-to-site VPN, or single access office network.

The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that the solution works fine, but I can't comment more since I am not from the operations team, because of which I cannot provide data based on what the end user prefers.

I would like Cisco IOS SSL VPN to provide a faster connection. In my company, we also would like to receive better resolutions to any of the issues we face while using Cisco IOS SSL VPN since we deal in huge numbers. We also use Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client in our company.

I have been using Cisco IOS SSL VPN for eight to ten years. I use the solution's latest version.

Stability-wise, it is a very good solution.

Scalability-wise, maybe a few hundred users use the solution in our company.

I cannot comment on whether my company plans to increase the usage of the solution. The department that handles the documentation related to the solution will be given the projection related to any expected changes in the number of users. In our company, we have a manager to discuss the aforementioned areas.

The interaction with the solution's technical support is an ongoing process in our company, and they are pretty good.

The initial setup of Cisco IOS SSL VPN is such that once we have decided about the initial setup, we consider the devices in our company, after which the setup phase gets completed in a couple of days.

The solution is deployed for our company's employees and all the other internal users.

The steps involved in deploying the solution involve certain internal processes in our company, where we discuss the limitations and different features of the solution.

In my company, we have been using Cisco since 2004. I recommend those planning to buy the product to go ahead with their purchase decision.

I rate the overall solution a nine out of ten.

I use Cisco IOS SSL VPN in my company. Though it is a complex product, it is flexible and shares similarities with one of the products I have experience with, so in general, I feel it is a good solution. The tool is very easy and user-friendly to use.

In our company, we saw that clients who use VPNs require almost the same or common functionalities from any product. The use cases are more related to the location of the clients because Cisco is a vendor that serves mostly clients or customers in the USA. In the European market, our company uses more of Fortinet. Our company does many Cisco installations in the USA.

The most valuable features of the solution are not something that the VPN clients of my company simply experience. I appreciate that with Cisco, if you need some documentation, solution, or supply, there are many people who can provide some information.

From my perspective, Cisco has a history of problems with the area of web filtering, because of which my company sometimes had to change the vendor and the appliance. The aforementioned area needs to be considered for improvement in the product. Previously, in our company, we used Trend Micro, and later, we switched to another solution. In our company, we changed many vendors in the last ten years. If you want to implement a solution, you need to follow the new implementation procedure, so from VIX to IM, there are many changes.

In general, the pricing of the product should improve, and it should be made easier to deploy.

I have experience with Cisco IOS SSL VPN.

Stability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

In terms of stability, the tool doesn't offer users enough reach.

The scalability of the solution is very good.

More than 1,000 people use the solution in my organization as it is a product meant for enterprises.

The solution's technical support is very good. There are no issues with the technical support team. When you want help, you can contact the technical support team, and there are many support team members available to help you.

The product's initial setup phase was complex because of the more granular nature of the process.

The time required to deploy the solution varies because the area involving the deployment of the firewall could be very easy and can be completed in an hour. If you deploy a firewall solution for a big company, maybe you can reach 6,000 rows of configuration, so time is needed. There are some configurations with just 1,000 rows. With Cisco, one may have to take care of just 100 rows of configuration.

The solution is deployed on the cloud and on-premises.

One manager and one engineer are required to take care of the deployment and maintenance of the product.

I used a software extension for the product's deployment.

With Cisco, there is a free solution or a licensed version of the solution with a set of endpoint services.

Those who plan to use the solution should test it before implementing it in their environment. I recommend the product to those who plan to use it.

I rate the overall tool an eight out of ten.

I use Cisco IOS SSL VPN to work from home remotely.

The split panel functionality is much better in the Cisco IOS SSL VPN than in the Aruba VPN.

The solution's graphical user interface is not very user-friendly. I assume that Cisco IOS SSL VPN has a better VPN client, which works better on Windows 10 or Windows 11 machines. Our clients struggled with the solution's VPN client on Windows 7 machines.

I have been using Cisco IOS SSL VPN for three years.

Cisco IOS SSL VPN is a very stable solution. I rate Cisco IOS SSL VPN ten out of ten for stability.

Cisco IOS SSL VPN is an easy-to-scale solution. Around 500 to 600 users are using the solution in our organization.

Cisco IOS SSL VPN's initial setup was easy. We just had to apply some certificates and use the Aruba switches with the VPN.

We have seen a return on investment with Cisco IOS SSL VPN.

Cisco IOS SSL VPN is more expensive than the Aruba VPN, but it is worth the money.

Overall, I rate Cisco IOS SSL VPN a nine out of ten.

We configure the solution to remote connection to our workspaces, and we configure it as a next-generation firewall. We use the solution for some rules and access policies, and we configure the VPN client for internal and external connections.

Cisco IOS SSL VPN helps connect personal computers or notebooks to our environment. Cisco IOS SSL VPN is reasonably priced, and its technology is flexible.

The solution's configuration could be made easier. Cisco IOS SSL VPN has different service scenarios and features. For a different feature, we must configure a different type of settings and deploy them in external environments, which users find hard to deploy.

I have been using Cisco IOS SSL VPN for seven years.

Cisco IOS SSL VPN is a very stable solution.

Overall, I rate Cisco IOS SSL VPN an eight out of ten.

We are using the solution for access control and internal servers.

The solution is quite transparent. We hardly have any issues.

Sometimes, a few VPN servers do not work, and we need to switch to another server. The solution does not give us options if the connectivity to one server is not available. The product can be more proactive, but it can't be because it relies on the internet.

I have been using the solution for more than ten years.

The product is quite stable. I rate the stability a nine and a half out of ten.

The solution is scalable. I do not see scalability as a challenge because it is a client-server. I rate the scalability an eight or a nine out of ten. All 300 employees in our organization use the product. We might increase the number of users depending on the number of employees.

The initial setup is quite straightforward. The deployment took less than ten minutes. The client was simple. It is a plug-and-play solution. It is a client-server-based tool.

The product can be deployed in-house. We do not need many people to maintain the solution. The IT team can manage it.

We have received quite a good ROI on the solution. It is very valuable.

The product costs less.

The intranet-related resources like Jira or Confluence with cloud servers are connected. Cisco cannot do anything if the connectivity from the VPN server to our site is broken. It is up to us to resolve it. I would recommend the solution to others. The product is quite simple to use and free from errors. It is quite stable. Overall, I rate the tool a nine and a half out of ten.

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.

There are around 200 users of the solution in my company.

Cisco IOS SSL VPN is an extensively used product in the company.

I have contacted the solution's technical support, and I feel they are responsive and fast.

The initial setup of Cisco IOS SSL VPN is not straightforward since it's a bit complex but not too hard for users to do.

The solution can be deployed in a couple of weeks.

The solution can be deployed on a hybrid cloud.

Regarding the deployment process, our company uses the normal deployment procedure provided by the manufacturer of the solution.

The technical staff, consisting mostly of administrators, are required to deploy and maintain the solution.

The implementation phase of the solution was carried out with the help of a consultant.

Our company has not calculated the exact ROI.

The licensing cost of the solution is on a yearly basis, and it is expensive compared to other solutions in the market.

I recommend Cisco IOS SSL VPN to other people.

I rate the overall product a ten out of ten.

We use Cisco IOS SSL VPN to connect to our servers. Our local IT team and vendors use the solution to connect to our servers.

Cisco IOS SSL VPN is stable, and once we connect, we don't face any issues and can do our work. We also have integrated a multifactor authentication called Cisco Duo.

Cisco IOS SSL VPN doesn't support the configuration of multiple VPNs.

I have been using Cisco IOS SSL VPN for three years.

Cisco IOS SSL VPN is a stable solution.

Around five users are using Cisco IOS SSL VPN in our organization. The solution is extensively used as our vendors continuously use it on a daily basis. I use the solution when I'm outside the office.

The initial setup of Cisco IOS SSL VPN is straightforward.

The solution was deployed in our organization through an in-house team. Cisco IOS SSL VPN's deployment was quite fast. However, deploying Cisco Duo took some time because the vendor had to call us, and then we had to arrange to share the password on a phone call.

Initially, we received an email from the vendor mentioning the URL of our server. The domain and the port were mentioned, and then we had to allow that in our network. Once we allowed it in our network, we had to install Cisco's client. They had given us a link for downloading it. After downloading it, we had to deploy it on whichever PCs were responsible for connecting to the network.

We have seen a return on investment with Cisco IOS SSL VPN because it comes with a lot of security and networking bundled in one package.

Cisco IOS SSL VPN comes with a cost-effective subscription. For example, we got around 25 licenses with the solution.

I am using the latest version of Cisco IOS SSL VPN.

A normal person with some networking knowledge can deploy and maintain Cisco IOS SSL VPN because it's not that complicated.

Cisco is one of the best solutions as far as routing and networking are concerned. Cisco still has some configurations to be done using the command line interface (CLI). That is a challenge if you are not familiar with CLI. The GUI interface is quite simple, and it's evolved from what it was earlier. It's good from the security point of view that you need to do those configurations using CLI.

Overall, I rate Cisco IOS SSL VPN an eight out of ten.

Currently, we are working from home, so we don't need to go to the office. Therefore, we need a way to connect to the company and for that, we need to use Cisco VPNs.

From a data security point of view, the solution is very good. We get good connectivity. Our privacy is protected. No one can come in and disturb the data.

The product has been easy to install. The process is very quick. You just enter your username and password in order to connect and start using it. It's very user-friendly. 

It is stable. 

I'm not well-versed in VPNs. However, this solution does make me feel like I am secure. 

The product costs a lot of money.

I've been using the solution for the past two and a half years. 

It's quite stable. We haven't come across many glitches on the system. 

I've never had to contact technical support. I can't speak to how helpful or responsive they would be.

I'm not sure if the company has ever used a different VPN previously. 

The implementation process is very simple and straightforward. We just downloaded a script. The standard operating procedure was all there, and we just followed the steps. It was easy to download to our machines to begin using it. 

The deployment and fast. Downloading and installing it takes about 45 minutes. 

My understanding is that this product is a bit more expensive. 

We're customers and end-users. 

I'm not sure which version of the solution I'm using. 

I'd recommend the solution to others as it is safe and secure and makes it easy to connect. Even in environments that have low data or slower internet connection, it works well. 

I'd rat the solution nine out of ten.
