Cisco Secure Client (including AnyConnect) Reviews

We mainly use this solution for training and meetings.

The most valuable feature is AnyConnect's reliability.

In the next release, Cisco should add a chat feature.

I've been using this solution for fifteen to sixteen years.

AnyConnect is more stable than any other VPN connection, in my experience.

AnyConnect is scalable.

Cisco's technical support is pretty good.

Positive

I would rate AnyConnect as eight out of ten.

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 primarily use the solution for remote access to the on-premise server. If we are off-site, we are still able to connect when we need to.

The initial setup is pretty straightforward and not overly complex.

The solution is quite stable.

So far, the scalability has been good.

The solution is very secure in general. 

We were going to use the Cisco AnyConnect with hardware tokens. However, right now, it's very complicated in terms of delivering the hardware token to the customer. That's why we are looking for a software token right now. I'm not sure how it's going to work. It's under review right now.

We've been using the solution for about two or three years at this point.

The solution is very stable and reliable. I haven't experienced any bugs or glitches. It does not crash or freeze. The performance is quite good.

So far, the scalability has been good. We have not faced any issues. If a company needs to expand, it should be able to. 

Currently, we have 50 or 60 people using the product.

Tech support has been good overall. I have no complaints about their service. We've been happy with the help they've provided to us. They're great. That said, we've had very few problems with e product in general.

We also have a USB token for the hardware.

By the time I joined the company, they were already using this product. I can't speak to what they used before.

It's my understanding that the initial setup was pretty straightforward. It wasn't overly difficult. 

I'm just one of the users. I can't speak to the price as I was not part of the decision-making process and I don't directly deal with licensing or payments.

However, it's my understanding that the licensing is quite expensive. 

We use the solution ourselves and are end-users. However, we also resell the product to our clients.

We upgraded a few months ago. It's my understanding that we are on the latest version of the product.

I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten. For the most part, we've been very happy with the solution and its capabilities. 

It is primarily used for the occasional managers having to work out of office.

It's been fairly stable for us. I'm okay with it.

The language is fine. We don't have any issues as we're English and therefore don't come across barriers. 

Support does solve our issues. 

It can scale. 

The initial setup is easy.

I haven't given improvements much thought. 

Technical support could be better, especially when it comes to understanding the problems. 

The cost could always be a bit less. 

I've been using the solution for around five years. 

The solution is stable and reliable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

We don't have that many external users, so we are just using a few licenses of that, and we are okay.

The solution is scalable. However, we don't necessarily need to scale. 

Less than ten people are using the product. 

I have made an occasional call to technical support. You don't always get a solution on a first call. That said, there's enough guidance to point in the right direction. 

It takes time for them to understand what your problem is. So you have to spend much more time explaining the problem.

It is easy to set up. It's not a problem at all. There are no issues with complexity.

We do pay for the solution. It's a bundled option. 

I can't speak to the exact price of the product. I don't handle the licensing. My understanding, however, is that it is expensive. 

I'm just a user. We don't buy directly. We use someone else.

So far, it meets our demands. 

We are not at the latest version. We are either one branch or two branches behind. We are yet to update.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. 

I'd recommend the solution to other companies if they can afford Cisco. 

I use the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client for accessing the internal network, and internal resources of my employees.

Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client is good for securing our connection. It is very easy to use, I click to use it and it works.

Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client could improve by making a feature to set it apart from other competitors.

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

Most of the employees in my company are using Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client. Anyone in my company that needs access to the internal networks using the solution.

We are a midsized company and we have approximately 100 to 120 people in our Polish company.

I am using the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client every other day. 

We have used other solutions previously. The difference between the solutions is how you need to do to enter the network. There are many differences, they are similar solutions.

My laptop had the solution installed on it by my IT department.

My IT department did the implementation of the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client.

I am using a paid version of Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client.

I rate Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client an eight out of ten.

We use the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client for all the enterprise VPNs.

Our system is primarily based on a VPN. And then we connect to VPN, and we have three-factor authentication to log into the applications that we work on for development.

One thing I've noticed is the price in comparison to other VPNs.

They can redesign the reset password, reset function, and user interface.

We have been working with Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client for three years.

I did not have any contact with the technical support as I am from the development team, our internal team handles that.

Our internal team uses Slack for communication.

This GlobalProtect is used on Palo Alto Networks. It assists us in connecting to a gateway. We have access to our applications and not through Okta. We access Okta and use it.

The initial setup is straightforward. In my opinion, it was not complex.

One issue I've encountered is that if you try to connect using a mobile hotspot during a pandemic, you will encounter connectivity issues.

I would rate Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client an eight out of ten.

We primarily use the solution for an SSL VPN, for third parties to connect to our network.

The pricing is very competitive.

The solution is very easy to use and set up.

Configuring the solution could be simplified. You tend to spend a bit of time on it right now. It could be made easier with better UI. All of the backend configurations are command-line and it's not helpful. It takes a little bit of effort to get the system up and running.

There's a lot of newer technologies that are displacing all of the VPN technologies. The solution could benefit from having a defragmenter and should offer Mac-based device control. 

Behavior analytics and other newer technologies should be integrated into the solution.

I've been using the solution for three years.

The solution is stable.

The solution is scalable. We've had about 2,000 users connected to it. We use it quite extensively.

A different team handles technical support, however, I haven't heard of any issues.

The initial setup was pretty simple. It's not too complex.

We had a hybrid approach to implementation where we did a few updates and then had a third party deploy the basic items for us.

The solution offers its services at a very reasonable price.

I'd recommend the solution; it's a good product.

I'd rate it eight 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.
