Cisco Secure Client (including AnyConnect) Reviews

I use the solution to connect to a VPN for remote work. 

The solution provides seamless connectivity to the VPN without delay when you have a good internet connection. 

The solution should not rely on tokens from the mobile application for logins. If you don't have your phone handy, you can't log in. Email notifications or another single sign-in method would resolve this issue. 

I have been using the solution for three years. 

The solution is stable with no technical issues. 

The solution is scalable to a wide range of users. Our company has 3,000 users and many worked remotely during Covid without any issues. 

Our internal IT support team handles most issues but the solution's technical support is good when needed. 

Positive

The initial setup is straightforward. 

The solution was implemented in-house. 

When researching options, it is important to assess compatibility, the number of users, and the time it takes to implement a solution.

I rate the solution a nine out of ten. 

We have around 500 employees working all over Qatar as well as outside - in India and Egypt. And they use to connect to our corporate network with this product.

The posturing is working well.

We have network access control. It's nice to have and easy to manage and easy to add routes, et cetera. We can easily add the route over the VPN whenever we have a new network.

The setup was simple with a little bit of assistance. 

It is easy to scale.

The solution is stable. 

It has a good web interface. 

Initially, we had an issue with the posturing, however, now it's improved. A lot of improvement can happen on this still as well. Right now, the posturing that we can do is only over the Windows update. We are considering the services. We cannot assess whether that particular update is installed or not.

The implementation can be difficult and time-consuming without help. 

We'd like the product to be cheaper. 

I've used the solution for maybe two and a half years now. 

The solution is stable so as long as we don't have any restart happening or any power interruptions.

The solution can scale. You simply add licenses. It's easy.

We have about 500 users on the solution. 

We request support from a local vendor many times. We have not lately used Cisco. The vendor is quite good. However, they are very busy, however. If we ask them for immediate support, we cannot get them. That's likely due to the fact that they're the only good technical vendor for Cisco here in Qatar.

We are using Cisco AnyConnect as well as OpenVPN.

The setup was easy. We had vendor support. The vendor support was good. The local vendor was good here. 

We spent around a week finalizing the deployment.

We have a local partner or local vendor here in Qatar. They helped us with the implementation. 

You are charged per user, unlike, for example, Fortinet. With FortiClient, you can add as much as you want. 

I can't speak to the exact cost, however. We have a procurement team that handles that.

I'm a customer and end-user.

We recently updated the solution maybe three months ago. We are on the newest version. 

It's a good solution. That said, considering the current market, it's a bit more costly than other solutions.

I'd rate the solution seven out of ten. I'd rate it higher if the implementation was easier and the cost was lower. 

I use the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client on my laptop to connect to the VPN.

The most valuable feature of Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client is the consistency, I have not had any issues with the performance.

When using Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client when my laptop goes into sleep mode the VPN wants me to enter the password again. I should not have to enter the information again. If the laptop is on and it is not switched off, the password should be in the VPN saved and secured.

In the next release, the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client should add fingerprint login authentication. Many of my other applications have it.

I have been using the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client for approximately one year.

Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client has been stable.

The scalability of the solution has been good. Everyone in the organization is using the solution and we have not had any issues.

We have approximately 2,000 people in my organization that use Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client.

I have not used the support from Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client.

I have not used other solution because the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client works very well.

The setup of the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client was easy, it did not take a lot of time, approximately one hour.

I would advise others that a VPN is necessary because data should be secured. We all lose. A VPN is advised and I have not had any problems with this solution and I did not have the need to try another one. 

I would recommend Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client to others.

I rate Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client an eight out of ten.

We primarily use it for working from home. 

It's flexible and easy to use. You just need to enter the VPN details, and you can connect immediately and access what you need. Of course, access depends on the whitelist and access list configured by the network team.

It is easy to set up.

The solution is stable and reliable.

It is scalable. 

There is nothing they need to improve at this moment. 

I've been using the solution for ten years or more. 

The product has been stable. There are no bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze. It is reliable. The performance has been good. 

We have 30,000 people using the product right now.

We have found that it scales well and as needed.

We're happy right now. We're using it, and we have a contract already with Cisco. We'll use it as necessary.

The initial setup was straightforward and very simple. It was not overly complex or difficult.

The finance department handles the licensing. it's not an aspect I'm directly involved in. 

Although I don't know the exact version number, we are on the latest iteration of the product.

We are Cisco partners.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

I would suggest that potential new users make sure that whatever is allowed into the infrastructure and network is configured by their network operation center. This should be in line with the requirements of the company or the client since cyber security is super important nowadays. You cannot afford to have a data breach. This is important especially if employees or users are tech-savvy. There could be leakage if they know how to go back and tweak the settings.

We use Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client to connect to the office network from the general internet. So whenever anybody works remotely, it is used to connect to the office network.

Compared to other products, it is reliable and easy to configure, and the Cisco Firewall can last for many years.

It is a reliable solution, and the users face no problems or errors. It also connects quickly, and the SSL security is excellent.

I wouldn't want anything to be improved per se. It is reliable without any errors, and the configuration is easy. However, when different configurations need to be completed, we need to get in touch with Cisco Technical Assistance Center because we don't have enough documentation on the website.

In terms of additional features, it would be good to have some improvements to the quality of service. For example, if somebody on your VPN wants to have a Google meeting or WebEx call, they should be given priority traffic.

We have been using this solution for three years.

It is a stable solution.

It is a scalable solution. Almost everyone at our organization uses Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client, so about 200 to 300 users.

The technical support is very good.

Positive

I would rate the setup process a six out of ten. It was manual work, and though the configuration was easy, we still needed to understand it. But overall, It was a fair experience.

Regarding cost, we had to purchase the Cisco CON-SNT and AnyConnect licenses separately. We purchased a three-year package because it was comparatively cheaper than the one-year package.

It costs around 80,000 Indian rupees for a hundred licenses, so approximately $1,020 USD. I rate the price a six out of ten, but we get value for the price.

I rate this product a nine out of ten.

I use the solution to access my servers at work. It's for connection to my VPN servers.

The product makes it easy to connect remotely to machines that are remote.

The initial setup is straightforward.

The solution is stable.

The dashboard and interface are fine.

I don't have any issues with the level of security on offer.

They should do more updates regularly. More frequent updates would be ideal.

I used the solution maybe for 10 years or so.

The stability of the product is great. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

I'm not quite sure about the scalability part. It's just a client tool that I use on my machine. It's not really necessary to scale per se.

Maybe 500 people are using the product.

We did not previously use a different solution. 

The initial setup is easy. It's straightforward and not overly difficult or complex. 

The setup is very quick. It doesn't take more than two minutes. 

The solution is supported by our help desk, which is comprised of about three people. 

I was able to handle the initial setup myself. I didn't need any outside assistance. I didn't use consultants or integrators. 

I have not witnessed an ROI while using this solution. 

I don't handle the licensing aspect. I can't speak to the costs involved. 

I'm unsure of which version of the solution we are on. My understanding is that it is the most recent version.

I'd recommend this solution to others. It seems like a good product. I'd rate it eight out of ten.

I use this solution to connect to open cases, the internet, and internal repository.

I'm using version 4.10. The solution being deployed on cloud.

The VPN is the most valuable feature. In general, I like the solution and it helps me connect to my corporate site.

I would like there to be more license consuming data. We don't have the correct visibility to see the quantity of licenses we are consuming or not consuming. Some of my clients complain about that. For example, they buy 1,000 licenses and cannot see if they are using 1,000 licenses or not.

I have been using Cisco AnyConnect for more than five years.

The solution is completely stable.

It's scalable. We have a lot of staff, and the company is growing. I haven't heard any complaints about it.

I would rate technical support 10 out of 10.

Installation is very easy.

The price is okay. 

I would rate this solution 10 out of 10.
