Cisco IOS SSL VPN Reviews

We use the solution as a VPN dial-up. That's all. We are working from home or anywhere else from the office. We connect using the VPN.

The scanning part is one of the key features that Cisco should provide. Secondly, FortiClient has more features than Cisco. FortiClient allows you to connect their VPN over any machine. We can change the FortiGate firewall, but we need a separate license in Cisco.

I have been using Cisco IOS SSL VPN for a year.

I rate the solution’s stability a nine out of ten.

You have to purchase SSL for every VPN license from the vendor side. Everything depends upon the licensing.

3000 people are using this solution. There is a hybrid model in my company. Most of the employees work from home, or company or country. They are connected over the SSL VPN.

I rate the solution’s scalability a ten out of ten.

I have also worked with the FortiClient. FortiClient is much more versatile, easy to configure, and is more functional.

The solution setup is easy for everyone. We must run the platform and upload the configuration file to every agent installed on the system. Every agent is easier to proceed.

When I was in Pakistan, my company used Cisco products and the firewall. The ransomware came into our environment and breached the Cisco firewall. It passed along the Cisco firewall and then ran CMC connections. With respect to reliability, I rate it around seven.

Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

I use Cisco IOS SSL VPN in my company for network connectivity and, in general, for our network infrastructure.

The most valuable features of the solution are its ease of use, management, and support.

Stability-wise, it is a very good solution.

Scalability-wise, maybe a few hundred users use the solution in our company.

I cannot comment on whether my company plans to increase the usage of the solution. The department that handles the documentation related to the solution will be given the projection related to any expected changes in the number of users. In our company, we have a manager to discuss the aforementioned areas.

The interaction with the solution's technical support is an ongoing process in our company, and they are pretty good.

I use Cisco IOS SSL VPN to work from home remotely.

The split panel functionality is much better in the Cisco IOS SSL VPN than in the Aruba VPN.

We are using the solution for access control and internal servers.

The solution is quite transparent. We hardly have any issues.

Sometimes, a few VPN servers do not work, and we need to switch to another server. The solution does not give us options if the connectivity to one server is not available. The product can be more proactive, but it can't be because it relies on the internet.

I have been using the solution for more than ten years.

The product is quite stable. I rate the stability a nine and a half out of ten.

The solution is scalable. I do not see scalability as a challenge because it is a client-server. I rate the scalability an eight or a nine out of ten. All 300 employees in our organization use the product. We might increase the number of users depending on the number of employees.

The initial setup is quite straightforward. The deployment took less than ten minutes. The client was simple. It is a plug-and-play solution. It is a client-server-based tool.

The product can be deployed in-house. We do not need many people to maintain the solution. The IT team can manage it.

We have received quite a good ROI on the solution. It is very valuable.

The product costs less.

The intranet-related resources like Jira or Confluence with cloud servers are connected. Cisco cannot do anything if the connectivity from the VPN server to our site is broken. It is up to us to resolve it. I would recommend the solution to others. The product is quite simple to use and free from errors. It is quite stable. Overall, I rate the tool a nine and a half out of ten.

My company uses the product to get Cisco AnyConnect client to connect to our internal network.

The initial setup of Cisco IOS SSL VPN is not straightforward since it's a bit complex but not too hard for users to do.

The solution can be deployed in a couple of weeks.

The solution can be deployed on a hybrid cloud.

Regarding the deployment process, our company uses the normal deployment procedure provided by the manufacturer of the solution.

The technical staff, consisting mostly of administrators, are required to deploy and maintain the solution.

The implementation phase of the solution was carried out with the help of a consultant.

Our company has not calculated the exact ROI.

The licensing cost of the solution is on a yearly basis, and it is expensive compared to other solutions in the market.

I recommend Cisco IOS SSL VPN to other people.

I rate the overall product a ten out of ten.

When we are on a client network, the VPN comes into effect. We don't need a VPN for pre-sales or our local work. The solution is used for anything where a certain amount of data security is required and certain controls are in place. It's largely used when you are on a client network.

The solution's environment is stable and doesn't get disconnected every now and then.

The solution takes some time to log in because of some unavoidable security barriers, but it would be better if that could happen faster.

I have been using Cisco IOS SSL VPN for ten years.

Cisco IOS SSL VPN is a scalable solution.

Once you are on a VPN, we can use whatever applications the client gives us access to. There is no limitation regarding whether it is an Oracle database or some UI programs. Whatever is required is given through the VPN.

It doesn't take much time to get into the solution. You have an authenticator on your mobile, and your mobile is linked to the VPN. Your authenticator gives you access to the VPN and allows you to access the environment securely.

We use the product to connect to remote computers securely.

Cisco IOS SSL VPN provides fast connectivity and the option to connect through multiple servers. We connect to any nearer server while working in any specific geographical area.

It is challenging to automate processes in a VPN. The product's RPA tools need enhancement for simplified business process automation. Its design could be more user-friendly.

We have been using Cisco IOS SSL VPN for two to three years.

The platform has good stability. However, we get logged out of a session if we don't use it for a long time. Otherwise, it works fine.

Earlier, we connected the VPN using a traditional two-factor authentication method, likely using hardware tokens or a similar mechanism. In comparison, Cisco IOS SSL VPN provides a simpler username and password-based authentication.

The platform is simple to configure. The deployment process involves the installation of virtual machines and accessing credentials for the users. Configuring the machines becomes easier if the clients provide access to their user accounts.

We implemented the product in-house with the help of our technical team.

I recommend Cisco IOS SSL VPN and rate it a nine out of ten.

We use the solution for mobility and remote access. 

Cisco IOS SSL VPN is integrated with domain controller, SSO and MFA. 

The solution needs to integrate password-less technology so that you don't have to remember passwords each time that you log in, which is otherwise tedious. We should be able to log in as long as our system is connected to the internet. 

I have been using the solution for five years. 

Cisco IOS SSL VPN is stable but takes time to troubleshoot. 

The tool is scalable, but scalability depends on your licensing. My company has about 10,000 users for Cisco IOS SSL VPN. 

We work closely with the tech support team whenever there is an issue. They are very supportive and cooperative. They are fantastic in terms of skill. 

Positive

The tool's installation is complicated and depends on how you want to do it. Our environment needs to support a large number of users. We had a complicated design. Product troubleshooting is difficult. The overall deployment took three to five months to complete. 

You need a stable infrastructure for the tool's deployment if you have many users. You need reports to be ready before the deployment. I rate the solution a ten out of ten.
