Cisco Secure Client (including AnyConnect) Reviews

The primary use case of this solution is to connect external users to our research center.

The deployment model is on-premises.

It is easy to handle, you can have it on Windows, Mac, and Linux. It is quite useful.

Often, there are new versions to install and that can be annoying for our users. 

Having to deal with a new version every two weeks is a bit overdone.

It would be useful to have an automatic install process where if you connect and you don't have the latest version, it should be automatically done.

I have been using this solution for approximately eight years.

This solution is stable.

This solution is scalable.

In most cases, we are satisfied with the technical support.

The initial setup was straightforward.

We did not use a vendor or integrator, we did it by ourselves.

We do not have a personal relationship with Cisco. We are customers.

This is a solution that I would recommend.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client is used as a VPN.

The solution has good performance. It is a simple tool to use, once I turn on Windows it automatically starts to use the VPN.

I have been using Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client since it has been on the market.

Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client is a stable solution. However, there have been times it has not worked and I needed to call our IT department. It could be more stable.

We have several thousand users using this solution in my organization.

Our IT department does the implementation of the solution.

The solution is scalable.

I rate Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client a ten out of ten.

I use Cisco Secure Client (including AnyConnect) for VPN and Umbrella Client. Umbrella is another Cisco product that is embedded into Secure Client.

I find the single sign-on capability and the Umbrella functionalities to be the most effective features for data security. We use single sign-on through the Microsoft system. The encryption functionalities, such as data encryption and SSL VPN, also enhance our data protection.

The deployment process should be improved, specifically making it easier. Fully automated deployments are quite challenging. I am using Intune for deployments, and it's not easy to create an automated deployment where users do not need to register server addresses. Additionally, pushing profiles and certain IDs for Umbrella is not straightforward.

I have been using Cisco Secure Client (including AnyConnect) for four years.

Deployment took approximately five hours. It is a bit difficult due to the complexity of automating the process. It's not very obvious to push some profiles and IDs associated with Umbrella, making it not easy.

I do not have any complaints about stability. I would rate the stability an eight out of ten.

I do not have any complaints about the scalability of Cisco Secure Client (including AnyConnect).

We were just using Cisco Meraki equipment for a while now. We did not evaluate other vendor solutions before using Cisco Secure Client (including AnyConnect).

The initial setup is not complex by itself. The challenge lies primarily in the deployment, particularly achieving fully automated deployment.

The price of Cisco Secure Client (including AnyConnect) is acceptable. I do not have detailed information about the cost per user or per year.

We did not evaluate any other vendor solutions before using Cisco Secure Client (including AnyConnect).

Cisco Secure Client (including AnyConnect) is a straightforward and simple product that works effectively. It is easy to use, and I would rate the overall solution an eight out of ten.
