Cisco Secure Client (including AnyConnect) Reviews

We use Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client for our office and remote network connection.

The product is easy to use and configure.

There is a speed limit for VPNs because of the encryption. That could be improved.

The stability of Cisco AnyConnect is good.

The product is scalable. We had approximately 800 to 1200 users connecting to it.

The initial setup was easy. I could easily integrate the solution with the active directory. The deployment was relatively easy for our networking engineers to do. We have two engineers managing it.

The deployment process involves knowing the requirements, ensuring that we have integrated a VPN device with a proper bandwidth, and learning how to configure it.

It is a solid product from Cisco that small and medium-sized companies can leverage. I rate it an eight out of ten. 

Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client is used to access the company's resources remotely.

The most valuable features of the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client is the reliability and scalability.

The solution could improve the setup, it is complex.

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

The stability of the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client is good.

The scalability is good but it depends on the hardware that is being used.

We have approximately 60 people using the solution. We do not plan to increase users of this solution.

The support from Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client is good.

I did not use another solution prior to Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client.

The setup of the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client is complex. However, once it has been done many times it becomes standard and not difficult.

The implementation of the solution was done in-house.

There is a license needed to use this solution. There are different licensing models available, such as a three-year license.

I recommend this solution to others.

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

Our company uses the solution as a VPN for 2,000 developers. 

The solution is a super product that works as designed. 

The solution's performance and stability are average.

The licensing model is expensive. 

I have been using the solution for two years. 

The stability and performance are average. 

The solution is quite scalable. 

I have not needed technical support. 

We previously used Check Point VPN.

The setup was easy and completed in one day. 

We implemented the solution in-house. Maintenance is performed by a team of six technicians. 

The solution is based on an annual licensing model and is expensive. 

Check Point VPN and the solution were evaluated but the process was conducted by other staff so I do not have additional details.

I rate the solution a seven out of ten. 

Our primary use case for this solution is connections. We use it to connect internally. 

We have been using this solution for four years.

The solution is very stable.

The solution is scalable and secure. We have over 10,000 users utilizing this solution in our organization. 

We do not have experience with customer service and support.

The initial setup is straightforward.

We implemented in-house.

The solution is priced reasonably.

I rate the solution an eight out of ten. The solution is very good and easy to configure, but the price could be reduced.

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 primarily use the solution for connection. We connect to the internet with it. 

It serves the purpose of allowing us to see the connection. 

The initial setup is easy.

Whenever there's a drop in internet or a connection fluctuation, it gets disconnected automatically. If it would automatically reconnect, that would be the best thing so that we can have continuity and no breakdown in connectivity. It would save us from re-authenticating. 

I've been using the solution for four years now. 

The product is stable unless there's a fluctuation in connections as the internet can fluctuate anytime. We can lose stuff, or the whole connectivity, the moment there's a slight microsecond of connectivity. It tries to reconnect. However, it's not always successful, and that's where the pain is.

I can't say the solution is very scalable. You need a specific version. Even if they come out with a new one, I'm not sure scaling is on the list of priorities. 

We have more than 50 people using the product currently.

We only really dealt with them during installation. The installation itself has a lot of hurdles to get the right version and right connectivity. We had our internal support team and they worked with Cisco to resolve everything. 

Cisco is recognized across the industry, which is why we used them.

The implementation is quite easy - if the person is aware of the right version. The only challenge that I have been facing with Cisco VPN is the version. If we are using an independent version, it's next to impossible. Therefore, we have to always ensure that we are using the right version of Cisco VPN, as there are multiple versions available on the internet and one can download anything. 

Once you are using the right version, it hardly takes more than five minutes to set everything up.

The version I am using is free. There is no license cost. 

We are a customer and end-user.

I'm unsure which version of the solution we're on now. 

I'd advise new users to ensure they get the right version. Otherwise, they will run into trouble. 

I'd rate the solution six out of ten. 

I use the solution to connect to a VPN for remote work. 

The solution provides seamless connectivity to the VPN without delay when you have a good internet connection. 

The solution should not rely on tokens from the mobile application for logins. If you don't have your phone handy, you can't log in. Email notifications or another single sign-in method would resolve this issue. 

I have been using the solution for three years. 

The solution is stable with no technical issues. 

The solution is scalable to a wide range of users. Our company has 3,000 users and many worked remotely during Covid without any issues. 

Our internal IT support team handles most issues but the solution's technical support is good when needed. 

Positive

The initial setup is straightforward. 

The solution was implemented in-house. 

When researching options, it is important to assess compatibility, the number of users, and the time it takes to implement a solution.

I rate the solution a nine out of ten. 

We connect and we log in to some server programs or some restricted areas, which can only be accessed to the VPN only. We cannot gain access to these systems over public networks for security purposes.

The login process is pretty simple. You just need to put your credentials and it logs in. 

The solution is stable. 

It is an easy system to set up.

At times, the login process takes a lot of time. If your network is a bit weak, on the weak side, it gives you a lot of trouble. That is one negative that I've experienced about it.

It is highly dependent upon the network connectivity, even a minor network disruption. While other applications do work a bit slow, they do work. However, I have faced significant issues with Cisco whenever there are some little network issues.

I've used the solution in the past year. 

We have about 5,000 users on the solution. It is very scalable. 

While I haven't dealt with support for this solution, we have used Cisco support for Cisco WebEx issues. We found them to be very helpful in that instance. 

The initial setup is very straightforward and simple to set up. It's not overly complex. 

We do pay for licensing. I'm not sure what the subscription costs are. I don't deal with licensing aspects. 

I am an end-user of the product. I'm not a partner or reseller. 

The version we are using would be the latest version only. As per my organization's policies it's always updated.

If you're looking for an easily configurable and accessible kind of solution, then I suggest that Cisco is the product to go to, hands down. The ease of use is the most valuable aspect of the product.  

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.
