Cisco Secure Client (including AnyConnect) Reviews

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.

The primary use case of this solution as an access point. We have on-premises servers and if anyone needs to access those servers remotely, they access them through Cisco AnyConnect.

We use it as a VPN between outside networks and our internal office network.

The most valuable feature is the connection feature. It allows me to connect.

There are situations where the connection drops, and you may not even be aware of it until you try to do something critical. The reconnection feature can be improved.

In the next release, I would like to have a connection alert or a pop up that could tell you that you have been disconnected.

It would be an improvement to include a better interface and integration with other vendors.

There are instances where the connection is very poor, but It may have something to do with our network. I am not sure.

This solution is scalable.

We have twenty to thirty users.

We have not contacted technical support, we have not had any cause to contact them.

Previously we did not use another solution, this is the first one.

The initial setup was straightforward.

We did not use any external resources to implement this solution, it was done internally.

This solution is very good, but if you don't know what you are doing, you could create issues with it very quickly. If you don't have enough knowledge regarding this solution, then you need to get someone who knows this solution to help you with the implementation or to implement the solution.

I would rate this solution a six out of ten.

We use them for our clients to connect to the servers.

I like the ability to share the connections or simply to be able to pass the credentials for a connection to other colleagues without bothering too much about the connection being tracked or about security. Each and every user will require a secret password, so I don't really care about sending the details. It's very secure.

Sometimes I need to connect with Cisco AnyConnect and I don't have access to a Windows machine, so I need to run the client from a Linux machine. If I recall correctly, the last build for the Linux was five or six years ago. So, sometimes it happens that I have this issue with not being able to use Cisco AnyConnect just because I'm forced to use a Linux machine, and the client is very old and it doesn't connect to the current version they're running on the servers on which I want to connect, even though it should be compatible with the old version I have.

It's not really an issue from our side, though, because at the end of the day I always find the solution of connecting through a Windows machine but this requires at some point to connect through the VPN. I connect a Linux machine to a Windows machine, the Windows machine to one in the AnyConnect lines product just to connect to yet another Windows machine, which in turn I need to connect on a Linux machine, because in most cases, the actual servers around the world, the vast majority of them are running on Linux.

If they could simplify connections via other machines, like Linux or Mac OS X, it would be helpful.

It's quite stable. It is seldom disconnected. If I recall correctly it happened to us last year on several occasions while using it, it tended to disconnect. But the product is very stable. 

In terms of scalability, I cannot comment because I only hear from the clients. I don't hear from the server-side.

I would recommend this solution to anyone who is considering its implementation.

I would rate this solution between a seven and an eight out of ten.

We use this solution for remote access to our customer's environment.

This solution doesn't address the seal of trust as a concept for a traditional VPN clients. I think that it is a dying product. The company should try to catch up with their competitors like Palo Alto and Check Point, because they're falling behind. 

I have been using this solution for decades.

This is a stable solution.

This solution's scalability depends on how big our customer's business is. To a certain point it is scalable, but if a company is too big, it becomes a nightmare to keep track of all profiles.

I have used the technical support for this solution but it was many years ago. 

The initial setup is straightforward. We have two to three people who maintain this solution. 

The traditional VPN client is slowly fading away. There are newer, more modern solutions.

I can only recommend Cisco products for routers and maybe switches, but not for firewalls. They are so far behind their competitors and this is why I would not recommend Cisco.

I would rate this solution a five out of ten. 

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 on-prem deployment model. Our primary use case is to connect external users to our research center. 

It's easy to handle. You can have it on Windows, Linux or Mac, which is quite useful.

Every two weeks there was a new version to install which was annoying for the users. 

The price should be lower. 

It is stable. 

It is scalable. 

Technical support is good. We are satisfied. 

The initial setup was straightforward. 

We deployed it in-house. 

I would recommend this solution to someone considering it. I would rate it an eight out of ten.

We primarily use the solution to access of the information for our company: email, documents, etc.

I like how I don't need to see the solution or start it up. I just use my computer and have it working in the background. I start my laptop and it's there and working. That's the most important feature.

The hotspots give me connectivity issues occasionally. It could be easier to use if it allowed me to choose the hotspot.

The solution is stable.

Technical support is handled through our IT department. They're very good.

We previously used a different solution. It came from the IT department but it wasn't very stable. They changed the VPN to AnyConnect and now it works well.

The initial setup was easy. You just install it on the computer and it starts working.

Our IT department handles the implementation.

We didn't evaluate other options before choosing this solution.

We use the private cloud deployment model.

I'm satisfied with the solution. I'd recommend it to others.

I would rate the solution nine out of ten.
