Cisco IOS SSL VPN Reviews

I use the solution whenever I'm not using my office Wi-Fi. I switch on the VPN to connect to any Wi-Fi outside my work location. I have to use my username and password from my work. The solution is used for security. I work for the HR department. We have a lot of confidential organizational data.

A few days ago, I was trying to convert a PDF into PPT, but I could not do it on my work laptop because it had confidential information and I was on VPN. The VPN warned me that the document had confidential information about the organization and that I could not upload it on an external server. That's how the solution protects the organizational data for security purposes.

The solution is pretty fast. It is easy to download and easy to use. I just have to put in my username and password to use the security feature. It always gives a warning. It helps me because I don't want my manager to know if I'm using confidential information outside work. The warning helps me stop the task I am performing. I use Microsoft applications like Teams, Outlook, and OneDrive to collaborate at work. I can use the applications on my laptop when I'm on VPN.

Sometimes, the product does not connect with the Wi-Fi. It usually does, but sometimes, if I'm using another Wi-Fi apart from my work Wi-Fi, it does not connect. It shows some error. If I have to work in a remote location, it gets difficult. When it happens, I have to restart the computer. The performance is not always effective. The performance could be improved.

I have been using the solution since July last year.

The tool is quite stable. Once I connect to a network, it rarely gets disconnected. Sometimes, it doesn't get connected from the get-go. However, when it gets connected, it's quite stable.

The tool is pretty scalable. The organization that I work for has millions of employees. There are 50,000 in my batch alone. Everyone uses the solution.

I contacted technical support when I faced issues. The support team helped me out on the same day.

It was pretty easy to install the product. It took one to two minutes. I had to go to the website, search for Cisco VPN’s free version, and download it. To install it, I required the username and password from the IT department in my organization. I don't have the access to download or install a program. The IT personnel provided the username and password, and I was able to download the file. When I ran the file, I could go through the installation wizard. I had an icon on my desktop and the taskbar when it was downloaded. It requires my username and password every time I click on it.

The solution keeps my data safe. It protects me from malicious downloads and unauthorized uploads. It's pretty easy and fast to install and use. It doesn't take up much of my laptop’s RAM. My laptop does not get slow while using the solution in the background.

The solution is pretty easy to use. My recommendation depends on what purpose someone wants to use the tool for. If someone wants to use it for work purposes, it's quite good. It warns and protects us from viruses or sharing confidential information outside the organization. I use the tool for free as an employee of my organization. I have used other VPNs only on my mobile phone. Those tools were better at connecting to the network. Cisco is the second-best product I have used. Overall, I rate the product an eight out of ten.

We use the solution as a VPN dial-up. That's all. We are working from home or anywhere else from the office. We connect using the VPN.

The scanning part is one of the key features that Cisco should provide. Secondly, FortiClient has more features than Cisco. FortiClient allows you to connect their VPN over any machine. We can change the FortiGate firewall, but we need a separate license in Cisco.

You have to purchase SSL for every VPN license from the vendor side. Everything depends upon the licensing.

I rate the solution’s scalability a ten out of ten.

I have also worked with the FortiClient. FortiClient is much more versatile, easy to configure, and is more functional.

The solution setup is easy for everyone. We must run the platform and upload the configuration file to every agent installed on the system. Every agent is easier to proceed.

When I was in Pakistan, my company used Cisco products and the firewall. The ransomware came into our environment and breached the Cisco firewall. It passed along the Cisco firewall and then ran CMC connections. With respect to reliability, I rate it around seven.

Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

The split panel functionality is much better in the Cisco IOS SSL VPN than in the Aruba VPN.

When we are on a client network, the VPN comes into effect. We don't need a VPN for pre-sales or our local work. The solution is used for anything where a certain amount of data security is required and certain controls are in place. It's largely used when you are on a client network.

The solution's environment is stable and doesn't get disconnected every now and then.

The solution takes some time to log in because of some unavoidable security barriers, but it would be better if that could happen faster.

I have been using Cisco IOS SSL VPN for ten years.

Once you are on a VPN, we can use whatever applications the client gives us access to. There is no limitation regarding whether it is an Oracle database or some UI programs. Whatever is required is given through the VPN.
