Cisco Secure Client (including AnyConnect) Reviews

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. 

Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client is great for connecting to the company's network when working from home. Clients can install it on their laptops.

It has a very secure VPN connection and is a good product from a performance perspective.

The solution is great, but perhaps the security could be improved.

We have been using this solution for three and a half years.

The solution is stable. We have not had any issues with it at our company. I have also used Cisco VPN for more than 15 years and also have not had any issues.

The solution is scalable. The solution operates as one device per user and is designed this way from a user and security perspective. We have around 300,000 people using this solution.

I cannot comment on our experience with customer service as we interact with our internal IT team when we have any issues. Our IT department is pretty large too.

The initial setup was straightforward.

I cannot comment on the pricing as a different department deals with it.

I rate this solution a nine out of ten. The system is reliable, simple and secure. 

We primarily use it for working from home. 

It's flexible and easy to use. You just need to enter the VPN details, and you can connect immediately and access what you need. Of course, access depends on the whitelist and access list configured by the network team.

It is easy to set up.

The solution is stable and reliable.

It is scalable. 

There is nothing they need to improve at this moment. 

I've been using the solution for ten years or more. 

The product has been stable. There are no bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze. It is reliable. The performance has been good. 

We have 30,000 people using the product right now.

We have found that it scales well and as needed.

We're happy right now. We're using it, and we have a contract already with Cisco. We'll use it as necessary.

The initial setup was straightforward and very simple. It was not overly complex or difficult.

The finance department handles the licensing. it's not an aspect I'm directly involved in. 

Although I don't know the exact version number, we are on the latest iteration of the product.

We are Cisco partners.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

I would suggest that potential new users make sure that whatever is allowed into the infrastructure and network is configured by their network operation center. This should be in line with the requirements of the company or the client since cyber security is super important nowadays. You cannot afford to have a data breach. This is important especially if employees or users are tech-savvy. There could be leakage if they know how to go back and tweak the settings.

It's for mobile users accessing corporate resources from the internet.

For some with a client list, you don't have to prepare any client beforehand. You just access the URL and you can download it, so that's easy. It doesn't require any prep on the client's end which makes implementation faster. It's an easy initial setup.

Technical support is always helpful.

It's stable.

The solution has the potential to scale. 

If there's any cloud version available, instead of on-premise, that would be ideal. That's one thing that could be helpful.

I've had a few cases over the last five years

I haven't received any complaints about this solution. We haven't had a word of many bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze on clients. It is reliable. 

The solution can scale to a certain point. Up to 500, companies should be okay. After that, we may run into problems. That's our product design. That's maybe not have something to do with the product itself.

Typically, our clients get licenses for 20 to 30 people. All levels of an organization can have access to the product. Anyone can use it. 

We provide technical support to our clients. 

In terms of us reaching out to support, it's rare that I get disappointed with Cisco tech. They are quite responsive and knowledgeable as well.

Positive

The initial implementation process is simple. 

The size of the deployment depends on the amount of personnel you'll need, however, in our experience, we've only ever needed one or two people to deploy it. 

After we get an order from the customer, they have some admin work to be done, which takes probably up to two weeks or three weeks. After three weeks, we have the project manager and the engineer assigned to the opportunity. Then, it might take up to ten days.

Maintenance is minimal. We may only need one or two people to handle maintenance. We don't have many issues with the solution.

We provide assistance to our clients in terms of setting the solution up.

Licensing usually involves a yearly contract. I don't have any details in terms of what the exact pricing is, exactly. 

The pricing is all-inclusive. You don't need to concern yourself with add-on costs. 

We are a partner. We sell to and implement for our customers.

We tend to use the latest version that we have on our server. It may not be the latest in the market, however, our engineering team chooses the best software for our service, so it's the latest on our server. The difference is that it may not be the latest in the market.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. 

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

This solution is scalable.

It can be difficult to connect with Cisco's help desk when we have an issue, which wastes time waiting.

This solution gives you double security because it uses both hard and soft tokens. I would give this solution a rating of eight out of ten.

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.
