Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client Reviews

The primary use case is secure remote connectivity of our on-premises applications.

Especially during the COVID pandemic, this solution has allowed us to work from home without security concerns.

I can't choose any specific feature that stands out against the competition. We largely implemented this product out of loyalty. We have been a Cisco shop for many years, which is what made us start using AnyConnect.

The security is good.

I think that the addition of single sign-on functionality would be helpful.

We have been using the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client for quite a long time.

The platform itself is very stable. The problem that we've had lately is more around connectivity.

I do not have experience with scaling this product.

We have about 6,000 users and at this time, everyone is working from home. There are no plans to increase our usage at this point.

The support can be fairly good. I would rate them a four out of five.

The licensing costs are reasonable.

As with most Cisco products, standing by itself, this solution is not perfect. However, if you take a suite of Cisco products then it will solve 99% of your challenges.

I would rate this solution a six 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. 

We connect and we log in to some server programs or some restricted areas, which can only be accessed to the VPN only. We cannot gain access to these systems over public networks for security purposes.

The login process is pretty simple. You just need to put your credentials and it logs in. 

The solution is stable. 

It is an easy system to set up.

At times, the login process takes a lot of time. If your network is a bit weak, on the weak side, it gives you a lot of trouble. That is one negative that I've experienced about it.

It is highly dependent upon the network connectivity, even a minor network disruption. While other applications do work a bit slow, they do work. However, I have faced significant issues with Cisco whenever there are some little network issues.

I've used the solution in the past year. 

We have about 5,000 users on the solution. It is very scalable. 

While I haven't dealt with support for this solution, we have used Cisco support for Cisco WebEx issues. We found them to be very helpful in that instance. 

The initial setup is very straightforward and simple to set up. It's not overly complex. 

We do pay for licensing. I'm not sure what the subscription costs are. I don't deal with licensing aspects. 

I am an end-user of the product. I'm not a partner or reseller. 

The version we are using would be the latest version only. As per my organization's policies it's always updated.

If you're looking for an easily configurable and accessible kind of solution, then I suggest that Cisco is the product to go to, hands down. The ease of use is the most valuable aspect of the product.  

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. 

We primarily use the solution for secure access the company's network.  

The solution is very lightweight.

The product is stable.

There are almost no problems with connectivity when using a third-party system.

The solution works very well. You just click and it's working.

The configuration from the client-side would be useful. Right now, it's not centralized. There should be a lock so that it can only be configured from one place.

The solution could use some sort of graphic interface or some kind of monitor to showcase the current network to help visualize the information.

I've been using the solution for quite a long time - about ten to 15 years or so.

The solution is very stable. We didn't have any issues with bugs or glitches that would make us concerned about its stability.

The solution is scalable. It's suitable for a very large organization. You can use many connection points across your network. It's easy to geographically split everything.

The solution is constantly being used in our organization. It's always running.

We've never had to contact technical support in the past. For us, it's been working fine. 

I have used a mobile prospect from previous generation Cisco VPN clients. AnyConnect ended up replacing the Cisco VPN Clients, so we didn't switch per se. We've always had Cisco products.

From the handling side, the initial setup is quite easy and straightforward. From a customer endpoint, deployment only takes about two to three minutes. To deploy the solution centrally, usually, a company can expect to spend four to five hours on it.

The licensing is based on one, three, and five-year terms. It's a one-time fee with no hidden costs. For example, you won't find that you'll have to pay more for support later.

We didn't previously evaluate any other products. We've always used Cisco.

The solution is perfect for both large and small companies.

I'd advise other organizations to choose a subscription for the maximum period. The longer period is cheaper in price. Users should also keep it running all the time for the best results. 

I'd rate the solution ten out of ten.

We primarily use the solution for remote access to the on-premise server. If we are off-site, we are still able to connect when we need to.

The initial setup is pretty straightforward and not overly complex.

The solution is quite stable.

So far, the scalability has been good.

The solution is very secure in general. 

We were going to use the Cisco AnyConnect with hardware tokens. However, right now, it's very complicated in terms of delivering the hardware token to the customer. That's why we are looking for a software token right now. I'm not sure how it's going to work. It's under review right now.

We've been using the solution for about two or three years at this point.

The solution is very stable and reliable. I haven't experienced any bugs or glitches. It does not crash or freeze. The performance is quite good.

So far, the scalability has been good. We have not faced any issues. If a company needs to expand, it should be able to. 

Currently, we have 50 or 60 people using the product.

Tech support has been good overall. I have no complaints about their service. We've been happy with the help they've provided to us. They're great. That said, we've had very few problems with e product in general.

We also have a USB token for the hardware.

By the time I joined the company, they were already using this product. I can't speak to what they used before.

It's my understanding that the initial setup was pretty straightforward. It wasn't overly difficult. 

I'm just one of the users. I can't speak to the price as I was not part of the decision-making process and I don't directly deal with licensing or payments.

However, it's my understanding that the licensing is quite expensive. 

We use the solution ourselves and are end-users. However, we also resell the product to our clients.

We upgraded a few months ago. It's my understanding that we are on the latest version of the product.

I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten. For the most part, we've been very happy with the solution and its capabilities. 

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.

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.

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.
