Cisco Secure Client (including AnyConnect) Reviews

We use the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client in our home office for our VPN connections.

When we are working remotely, we click on the VPN, and nothing more.

Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client works well, we don't have any issues with it.

The most valuable feature of this solution is that it works all of the time.

In terms of speed, it depends on the bandwidth of the system rather than being an issue with Cisco. It's more of a bandwidth limitation issue.

I would like that it automatically detects when I'm not on the corporate network, it would automatically connect to the VPN. I don't want to have to click the button anymore. It should autodetect or monitor it, when I am in the office it goes to the network in the office, or when I'm not at the office, it automatically activates my VPN connection.

I have been working with the company and using the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client for five years.

I have never updated this solution myself, our IT department updates our solutions. I am not aware which version we are using at the moment.

The stability is excellent. It works all of the time. I have not had any issues with the stability of the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client.

I am not familiar with the scalability of the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client. It is handled by our IT department.

This solution is used by everyone in our organization who owns a laptop. We have many thousands of users.

I'm not in the IT Department, so I'm not sure how many people have this tool on their laptops, but I believe everyone does.

I have never contacted technical support. There is no need. We go to our internal IT support first. There is a clear boundary between the user in the company and any further assistance.

It is included in the standard software package. I didn't need to install it. The IT department generates the default configuration of the laptop. In the end, it was already there and fully configured.

We have an internal IT department. Like in any company, it's an email help desk. I am not aware of how many people are in the IT support team.

I am not aware of the pricing.

As an end-user, it's good, I would rate Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client a nine out of ten.

We are using Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client when we are connecting to our internal network. Additionally, we are using it when we are connecting to our customers' networks when we have to do any operation remotely. I am using it almost on a daily basis.

When we have different networks internally and different connectivities that we have to go through, such as a gateway, I can change my gateway if a gateway fails. It automatically finds a suitable one, and if there's a new system that has to be behind a different gateway, I can edit, and I can authorize it. Not everybody can see it, only whoever is approved can. It's a very good solution. It is providing the same authentication and similar facilities on my mobile application. I have an iPhone and some of my colleagues have Android, and it works on them.

Every time I have to connect to the network I use this solution. It is a customizable solution, it makes life easier for me. It makes the global workforce work much easier and more secure.

The solution is secure and has a lot of benefits.

There are times the WiFi connectivity has disruptions and you have disconnections. It doesn't work with two connections. I have two switches back and forth sometimes. It doesn't have a failback scenario feature. However, on the gateway side, it does, but on the user device, it doesn't have that kind of option. It would be nice to have this feature.

When a connection is from company to company using a VPN from the customer's network, it doesn't allow you to connect. It doesn't allow you connection if are on a secure internal network. It doesn't allow you to connect. this is a difficulty because sometimes customers are saying we have to get connected through VPN to a specific network for a specific meeting for one reason or another.

I have been using the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client for approximately three years.

Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client is stable.

The stability of the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client is very good. At the beginning of the pandemic, we had to expand the connectivity a lot and in a very short time, which the solution was able to handle well.

We have approximately 5,000 people using the solution in my organization. Everyone is using it.

I have not connected with technical support.

Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client is simple to set up.

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

I am using Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client for my day-to-day work, because most of the applications, except the Microsoft applications which require a VPN.

Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client could improve by optimizing the use of the system resources, it is heavy on the resources. Additionally, there could be more transparency.

I have been using Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client for approximately five years.

The stability of the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client could improve. We have had a lot of problems with it. Once I'm disconnected from the Wi-Fi, it's not reconnecting automatically, I need to restart it many times manually.

We have plans to increase the usage of this solution, it can scale well.

The implementation of the solution was done by our IT department. 

There is a subscription needed for the use of this solution.

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

Our primary use case for the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client has been remote access, especially since the start of the pandemic. We use it to give our technicians access to our applications. 

We also use the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client to create secure firewall-to-firewall connections for certain applications.

The Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client is easy for end user to use. However, it can be difficult for the developer or solutions engineer to use because you need to have the infrastructure in place first. This is to do with key validation, certificates, and domain trust.

The setup could be simplified for solutions engineers with a wizard. 

I initially started using Cisco routers and switches in 1998, but I stopped using them for a while as I was focused on my other work. I started using Cisco again in 2012 and have been using it since as I do a lot of security solutions. 

Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client is very stable. 

Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client is scalable. However, the bandwidth and latency you need to use this solution is sometimes not available here in Africa. We run into trouble sometimes because of bandwidth. 

Overall, I prefer Microsoft's tech support because I noticed that Cisco does not provide enough of it. Sometimes, we do not have access to tech support. Also, you can only get tech support for registered devices.

I recommend it. However, you first have to be sure that you have all the basics in place. You have to do your research and understand what the requirements of the solution are. It works for millions of people, so it will work for you. 

It is also important to run some tests. That is what I always do. Don't go to the real alderman directly. Make your own tests.

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.

It is primarily used for the occasional managers having to work out of office.

It's been fairly stable for us. I'm okay with it.

The language is fine. We don't have any issues as we're English and therefore don't come across barriers. 

Support does solve our issues. 

It can scale. 

The initial setup is easy.

I haven't given improvements much thought. 

Technical support could be better, especially when it comes to understanding the problems. 

The cost could always be a bit less. 

I've been using the solution for around five years. 

The solution is stable and reliable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

We don't have that many external users, so we are just using a few licenses of that, and we are okay.

The solution is scalable. However, we don't necessarily need to scale. 

Less than ten people are using the product. 

I have made an occasional call to technical support. You don't always get a solution on a first call. That said, there's enough guidance to point in the right direction. 

It takes time for them to understand what your problem is. So you have to spend much more time explaining the problem.

It is easy to set up. It's not a problem at all. There are no issues with complexity.

We do pay for the solution. It's a bundled option. 

I can't speak to the exact price of the product. I don't handle the licensing. My understanding, however, is that it is expensive. 

I'm just a user. We don't buy directly. We use someone else.

So far, it meets our demands. 

We are not at the latest version. We are either one branch or two branches behind. We are yet to update.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. 

I'd recommend the solution to other companies if they can afford Cisco. 

I primarily use AnyConnect SMC to connect to clients' networks.

AnyConnect SMC's best features are that it's secure and connects seamlessly to clients' networks.

An area for improvement is that sometimes when you disconnect or switch from one wireless network to another, it's necessary to re-login.

I've been using Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client for over fifteen months.

AnyConnect SMC is stable, though when there are a lot of users, the collection can be a bit slow.

I've had no problems with Cisco's technical support.

The initial setup on the client side is very easy, and installation takes a maximum of ten minutes.

AnyConnect SMC is simple to use and does what it needs to do. I would rate it as eight out of ten.

We use the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client for all the enterprise VPNs.

Our system is primarily based on a VPN. And then we connect to VPN, and we have three-factor authentication to log into the applications that we work on for development.

One thing I've noticed is the price in comparison to other VPNs.

They can redesign the reset password, reset function, and user interface.

We have been working with Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client for three years.

I did not have any contact with the technical support as I am from the development team, our internal team handles that.

Our internal team uses Slack for communication.

This GlobalProtect is used on Palo Alto Networks. It assists us in connecting to a gateway. We have access to our applications and not through Okta. We access Okta and use it.

The initial setup is straightforward. In my opinion, it was not complex.

One issue I've encountered is that if you try to connect using a mobile hotspot during a pandemic, you will encounter connectivity issues.

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