Cisco Secure Client (including AnyConnect) Reviews

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.

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.

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 mainly use AnyConnect to link up various internal resources we use in the company like CRM software and email.

Advanced malware protection helps us to prevent any virus from contaminating computers. We also have DLP for prevention. And AnyConnect has a feature that lets us do some sandboxing to evaluate files that arrive from the outside. So before opening them, we can check them with the sandbox.

I think, in general, most of the applications are slow, but this is everyday stuff. I think this is more related to the link speed — the links, the lossage, etc. 

I've been using AnyConnect at this company for four years.

I have been connected with the solution for six to eight hours straight with no problem.

Cisco has a massive portfolio of solutions, and they work together. So as for AnyConnect, I think it does what it's supposed to do, and it can integrate with other solutions. The more application security applications you add to your platform, the more secure it will be. So yes, AnyConnect is scalable. It's robust, and it can grow.

I've never had to call Cisco support about an issue with AnyConnect.

I am not the IT person who installed AnyConnect initially. From my end, I just input the username and the password. That's it. 

I rate AnyConnect nine out of 10. I wouldn't say that it's perfect because I'm not trying to gush too much about the product, but I think it accomplishes its goal. However, there is always space for improvement, so that's what I give it a nine. I'm not sure what it would take to get it to 10, but I recommend it for security. AnyConnect provides a secure connection to your corporate resources. It's secure and simple to deploy. I think it's a very simple product. It does not need too many features because it can initiate the VPN, scan the system, enable ROM security, etc. 

We primarily use the solution to connect remotely.

This product is highly secure and easy to use. The user interface is very nice. It's user-friendly.

It's fairly easy to set up. 

The solution is stable. 

It is scalable. 

Technical support is great. 

It could be more efficient on the user side. We would like it to be simpler to get clients connected. 

You do need technical expertise to set up the product.

We have faced some connectivity issues. 

I've used the solution for four to six years. 

It's mostly stable, however, occasionally, it does disconnect on users. 

It is a scalable solution. It's very easy to expand it. 

We only have 20 to 25 users on the solution. 

We do have plans to continue using the product. 

Technical support is great. They are helpful and responsive. We are satisfied with their level of expertise. 

The solution is pretty easy to set up. However, you need to be technical. 

We do have to pay for the solution. People need to be prepared to pay for a Cisco service.

I'm a customer and end-user.

We are using the latest version of the solution. 

I'd rate the solution 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.

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.
