A stable solution that helps users connect to resources when working from home
It is used to connect work resources in case of working from home.  I haven’t experienced any issues and the connection is always stable. There is no room for improvement from my end, and there is a substantial amount of features. However, the company has a limited time period after which I…

Reliable, easy to use, and compatible with almost every network
We were already using Google Cloud for other things. Anything that we couldn't set up with OpenVPN, we would just set up with Google Cloud VPN. The solution has strong documentation for any troubleshooting we need. The solution requires a few updates here and there. Just like with OpenVPN, there's not much that we have to do. Google provides great documentation if we have to do some maintenance, and it's usually just a command we have to run. The solution's connection is smooth and fast, at least for what we need it for. That was a benefit. We didn't have any problems connecting, and it would seem as if we were on the network directly. I would recommend the solution to other users because of its strong documentation, reliability, and connectivity. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is not a license required for this solution but the price should be less expensive."
"The price is okay."
"It is not a free solution and the user needs to buy license."
"The licensing costs are reasonable."
"It costs around 80,000 Indian rupees for a hundred licenses, so approximately $1,020 USD."
"One thing I've noticed is the price in comparison to other VPNs."
"We pay for an annual subscription. Additionally to the subscription, we thought in order to connect this solution to the Active Directory we had to purchase a Cisco ACS, Access Control System. It turns out we did not actually need it."
"There is a license needed to use this solution. There are different licensing models available, such as a three-year license."
"I would rate the pricing for the license of Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client around four to five out of ten. It's not the cheapest option, but it's also not overly expensive."
"It is fairly priced."
"The product pricing is high."
"It's not super cheap, but it's also not unrealistically priced."
