Offers work-from-anywhere flexibility but navigates occasional proxy confusion
The analytics I downloaded from your site as a free download did not carry the information that was actually required. I was looking at the market segmentation and market share, along with some USPs which differentiated them from each other. The free download had two issues: many things were repetitive, and it was designed to not release any relevant information. Only headers were present, so I was not able to determine whether the final report would be worthwhile. I have not worked with enterprise tools that I could share feedback on for website publication. I see benefits from using Cisco Secure Client (including AnyConnect). However, I would not recommend it because future adoptions will be towards Zscaler, as SSC is a better model than VPN. On a scale of 1-10, I rate this solution a 7.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is a super product that works as designed."
"I like the ability to share the connections or simply to be able to pass the credentials for a connection to other colleagues without bothering too much about the connection being tracked or about security, because each and every user will require a secret password, so I don't really care about sending the details. It's very secure."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
"The solution provides seamless connectivity to the VPN without delay."
"The most valuable feature of the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client is its ease of use and simple interface. It's always available as long as I have a good network connection."
"Technical support is always helpful."
"The solution provides secure and easy access to corporate network resources."
"The system is reliable, simple and secure."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle VPN Connect is all the technology involved."
 

Cons

"The solution could offer tighter integration with endpoint protection to make it easier to use when routing security applications from other vendors."
"There is nothing they need to improve at this moment."
"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."
"You do need technical expertise to set up the product."
"There are situations where the connection drops, and you may not even be aware of it until you try to do something critical."
"Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client could improve by making a feature to set it apart from other competitors."
"The deployment process should be improved, specifically making it easier. Fully automated deployments are quite challenging."
"The GUI needs to be upgraded."
"Oracle VPN Connect could improve the graphical interface."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a license needed to use this solution. There are different licensing models available, such as a three-year license."
"We have yearly licensing and it's very affordable."
"The initial cost is the ASA and other items, but after that, it is relatively inexpensive."
"The pricing depends on the requirement, so proper planning and an RF analysis help to properly size the solution and get the best pricing."
"It costs around 80,000 Indian rupees for a hundred licenses, so approximately $1,020 USD."
"Sometimes there is a problem with the number of licenses for the end-user. The number of concurrent users is limited due to a valid 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."
"The price is okay."
