Cisco Secure Client (including AnyConnect) Reviews

I use this solution to connect to open cases, the internet, and internal repository.

I'm using version 4.10. The solution being deployed on cloud.

The VPN is the most valuable feature. In general, I like the solution and it helps me connect to my corporate site.

I would like there to be more license consuming data. We don't have the correct visibility to see the quantity of licenses we are consuming or not consuming. Some of my clients complain about that. For example, they buy 1,000 licenses and cannot see if they are using 1,000 licenses or not.

I have been using Cisco AnyConnect for more than five years.

The solution is completely stable.

It's scalable. We have a lot of staff, and the company is growing. I haven't heard any complaints about it.

I would rate technical support 10 out of 10.

Installation is very easy.

The price is okay. 

I would rate this solution 10 out of 10.

Our primary use case for the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client has been remote access, especially since the start of the pandemic. We use it to give our technicians access to our applications. 

We also use the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client to create secure firewall-to-firewall connections for certain applications.

The Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client is easy for end user to use. However, it can be difficult for the developer or solutions engineer to use because you need to have the infrastructure in place first. This is to do with key validation, certificates, and domain trust.

The setup could be simplified for solutions engineers with a wizard. 

I initially started using Cisco routers and switches in 1998, but I stopped using them for a while as I was focused on my other work. I started using Cisco again in 2012 and have been using it since as I do a lot of security solutions. 

Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client is very stable. 

Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client is scalable. However, the bandwidth and latency you need to use this solution is sometimes not available here in Africa. We run into trouble sometimes because of bandwidth. 

Overall, I prefer Microsoft's tech support because I noticed that Cisco does not provide enough of it. Sometimes, we do not have access to tech support. Also, you can only get tech support for registered devices.

I recommend it. However, you first have to be sure that you have all the basics in place. You have to do your research and understand what the requirements of the solution are. It works for millions of people, so it will work for you. 

It is also important to run some tests. That is what I always do. Don't go to the real alderman directly. Make your own tests.

We use this solution for security and VPN access.

Given that we work from home, the value of the solution is the ability to connect to the VPN remotely.

We receive updates frequently, I think that could be reduced. 

I've been using this solution for five years. 

It's a stable product. 

The solution is scalable. 

Customer support staff are very knowledgeable. 

The initial setup is very easy, it takes less than five minutes. We have more than a thousand users. We have an IP support team that manage any issues that arise. 

I recommend this solution and rate it 10 out of 10.

We primarily use the solution for secure access the company's network.  

The solution is very lightweight.

The product is stable.

There are almost no problems with connectivity when using a third-party system.

The solution works very well. You just click and it's working.

The configuration from the client-side would be useful. Right now, it's not centralized. There should be a lock so that it can only be configured from one place.

The solution could use some sort of graphic interface or some kind of monitor to showcase the current network to help visualize the information.

I've been using the solution for quite a long time - about ten to 15 years or so.

The solution is very stable. We didn't have any issues with bugs or glitches that would make us concerned about its stability.

The solution is scalable. It's suitable for a very large organization. You can use many connection points across your network. It's easy to geographically split everything.

The solution is constantly being used in our organization. It's always running.

We've never had to contact technical support in the past. For us, it's been working fine. 

I have used a mobile prospect from previous generation Cisco VPN clients. AnyConnect ended up replacing the Cisco VPN Clients, so we didn't switch per se. We've always had Cisco products.

From the handling side, the initial setup is quite easy and straightforward. From a customer endpoint, deployment only takes about two to three minutes. To deploy the solution centrally, usually, a company can expect to spend four to five hours on it.

The licensing is based on one, three, and five-year terms. It's a one-time fee with no hidden costs. For example, you won't find that you'll have to pay more for support later.

We didn't previously evaluate any other products. We've always used Cisco.

The solution is perfect for both large and small companies.

I'd advise other organizations to choose a subscription for the maximum period. The longer period is cheaper in price. Users should also keep it running all the time for the best results. 

I'd rate the solution ten out of ten.

This solution allows our staff to be able to work from home. Our students are also able to connect to our internal network to do their work.

The solution is valuable because we need it for both use cases. Our students are our customers, and our staff needs to do their work.

The deployment of the agent software for the final customer could be simpler and more helpful.

We have been using this solution for three years now. 

The solution is very, very stable. 

It's a very scalable solution. Including staff and students, we have 9,000 users. We are using the maximum licensing they offer, and it's very affordable given the value. 

The initial setup is very straightforward. 

The deployment was done in-house and it took about one week. We didn't need any technical support, so it was perfect. 

We have yearly licensing and it's very affordable. 

My advice to those considering the product is to just do it because the solution is very good, very scalable, and very easy to maintain. I think it's a very, very good option.

I would rate this solution as a ten out of ten. 

We use the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client as a VPN to connect to our VMs.

The most valuable feature of Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client is the one-click VPN connection. Additionally, the performance is good.

Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client could improve by adding faster connectivity.

I have been using the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client for approximately two years.

Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client is stable.

Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client

We have more than 10 people using the solution in my organization.

I have not used another similar solution previously.

Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client was installed by our IT team.

Our company does the implementation of the solution.

I rate Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client a ten out of ten.

We primarily use the solution for remote connections.

It's a tight solution. It's easy to use and secure.

The product is a stable solution that helps avoid leaks cases.

The solution scales well.

The installation process is not difficult. 

In general, it's always a good idea to improve scalability and stability. For the most part, we are satisfied.

I've used the solution since about the start of Covid-19. We've used it for around two years at this point. 

The solution is stable and secure. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable and the performance is good. It's also very secure. 

The scalability is good. If a company needs to expand it, it can do so.

We have about 1,600 users at this time.

At this point, I'm not sure if we have plans to increase usage.

We have a lot of documentation available to us. In that sense, troubleshooting is easy.

We are also using Fortinet VPN.

We have found the initial setup to be very simple and straightforward. It's not overly difficult or complex to implement. 

The deployment only takes about ten minutes. 

We have a security team of five technical operators that can help deploy, maintain, and monitor everything. 

We are able to implement the solution via official documentation. 

I'm not sure which version of the solution we are using at this point. 

I would recommend this solution to other organizations.

I'd rate it, in general, at a nine out of ten.

We use AnyConnect to connect to our machines and networks remotely when we are not in the office. I can access files and other services that are available only on our company network.

The most valuable features are that it is really secure and very easy to use.

Sometimes when you are on the VPN, it can be a little bit slow. This may not be a Cisco issue, per se.

We have been using Cisco AnyConnect for six months.

Stability-wise, it seems to be pretty good. We have people working from home and we really haven't had any issues.

We have between 2,000 and 3,000 people who are using AnyConnect.

I have not been in touch with Cisco's technical support team.

We were using Pulse up until about six months ago when we switched to Cisco. We had used it for quite a while.

The initial setup is very straightforward. The only challenge is setting it up when you're already remote, which can be difficult. If you are in the office and on the network then the setup is really fairly simple.

Our IT department has set it up so that it's pushed out and automatically installed in our machines.

This is absolutely a product that I can recommend. For me, it is straightforward to establish my VPN connection and then do my work.

I would rate this solution a ten out of ten.
