Cisco IOS SSL VPN Reviews

I use Cisco IOS SSL VPN in my company for network connectivity and, in general, for our network infrastructure.

The most valuable features of the solution are its ease of use, management, and support.

The only issue with Cisco IOS SSL VPN is on the price point. Price is an area of the solution where improvements are required.

I have been using Cisco IOS SSL VPN for a few years. I don't have the details of the version of the solution I use.

It is a stable solution.

It is a scalable solution.

Around 100 to 200 people in my company use the product.

The product's initial setup is not that hard.

The time taken for the solution's deployment depends on why you need it.

The solution is deployed on an on-premises model.

I can manage the solution's deployment process by myself.

My company makes payments on a quarterly basis to the vendor to cover the licensing costs attached to the product. Cisco IOS SSL VPN is an expensive product. There are no additional costs apart from the licensing costs attached to the product.

During the evaluation process, my company did look at products from HP. My company chose Cisco over HP since it is a well-known product and a good solution provider.

I recommend Cisco IOS SSL VPN to those who plan to use it.

I rate the overall tool an eight out of ten.

We use the solution for mobility and remote access. 

Cisco IOS SSL VPN is integrated with domain controller, SSO and MFA. 

The solution needs to integrate password-less technology so that you don't have to remember passwords each time that you log in, which is otherwise tedious. We should be able to log in as long as our system is connected to the internet. 

I have been using the solution for five years. 

Cisco IOS SSL VPN is stable but takes time to troubleshoot. 

The tool is scalable, but scalability depends on your licensing. My company has about 10,000 users for Cisco IOS SSL VPN. 

We work closely with the tech support team whenever there is an issue. They are very supportive and cooperative. They are fantastic in terms of skill. 

Positive

The tool's installation is complicated and depends on how you want to do it. Our environment needs to support a large number of users. We had a complicated design. Product troubleshooting is difficult. The overall deployment took three to five months to complete. 

You need a stable infrastructure for the tool's deployment if you have many users. You need reports to be ready before the deployment. I rate the solution a ten out of ten.  

My company installs the solution for our customers so they can remotely connect to their networks. We have a staff of 70 technicians and provide end-to-end service from procurement to deployment. 

The solution is very reliable. Most brands have the same SSL for their VPNs, but Cisco as an OEM and a service provider is very trustworthy. 

The flexibility of configurations could be improved. Most companies are going to GUI which is comparatively easier to configure in other solutions. 

I have been using the solution for seven years.

The solution is stable and I rate it a ten out of ten. 

The solution is scalable. We provide our customers with provisions that cater to growth over five years. I rate scalability a ten out of ten. 

Technical support is very good and helps no matter the task. I rate support a ten out of ten. 

Positive

The setup is okay but not too easy. It all depends on who completes the setup and if they have familiarity with it. One technician can complete the setup for a small project in 10-25 minutes. For a complex project, it can take days to set up end-to-end. 

I rate setup a six out of ten. 

Our return on investment is solid. I rate it an eight out of ten. 

We are a partner with Cisco and get some level of discount. I rate pricing an eight out of ten. 

It is important to understand the technology and know the product rather than focus on a specific concepts from a specific OEM. If you know the technology on a broader scope, it is easier to configure any OEM device. 

I rate this solution a nine out of ten. 

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.

Cisco IOS SSL VPN is a scalable solution.

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.

It doesn't take much time to get into the solution. You have an authenticator on your mobile, and your mobile is linked to the VPN. Your authenticator gives you access to the VPN and allows you to access the environment securely.

Cisco IOS SSL VPN can be deployed on-premises or on the cloud. I would recommend Cisco IOS SSL VPN to users looking for reliability. The encryption provided by the solution is good. The solution’s user experience has been good.

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

The solution connects to the DNS network in some internet workloads.

Cisco IOS SSL VPN is a stable and easy-to-use solution. Cisco IOS SSL VPN is a stable, scalable, and secure solution. With Cisco IOS SSL VPN, you can access your corporate data safely and securely.

While traveling or during business travel, I connect through remote access connectivity of the solution. We are able to securely access most of our applications or systems using Cisco VPN.

A team of five to six people were involved in the solution's deployment and maintenance.

Overall, I rate Cisco IOS SSL VPN a nine out of ten.

We use the product to connect to remote computers securely.

Cisco IOS SSL VPN provides fast connectivity and the option to connect through multiple servers. We connect to any nearer server while working in any specific geographical area.

It is challenging to automate processes in a VPN. The product's RPA tools need enhancement for simplified business process automation. Its design could be more user-friendly.

We have been using Cisco IOS SSL VPN for two to three years.

The platform has good stability. However, we get logged out of a session if we don't use it for a long time. Otherwise, it works fine.

Earlier, we connected the VPN using a traditional two-factor authentication method, likely using hardware tokens or a similar mechanism. In comparison, Cisco IOS SSL VPN provides a simpler username and password-based authentication.

The platform is simple to configure. The deployment process involves the installation of virtual machines and accessing credentials for the users. Configuring the machines becomes easier if the clients provide access to their user accounts.

We implemented the product in-house with the help of our technical team.

I recommend Cisco IOS SSL VPN and rate it a nine out of ten.

I use the solution for remote access to the company’s resources.

Overall, Cisco IOS is a great solution.

The product’s dashboard is not good enough.

I have been using the solution for years.

The solution is very stable.

The scalability is great. Almost 500 people in our organization are using the solution.

The initial setup is not very complicated for people who are familiar with the solution.

To deploy the product, we must acquire the equipment and have the license to use it. We need one IT engineer to deploy and maintain the solution.

We pay a yearly licensing fee for the product. The licensing fee is expensive.

Overall, I rate the product an eight out of ten.

Currently, we are working from home, so we don't need to go to the office. Therefore, we need a way to connect to the company and for that, we need to use Cisco VPNs.

From a data security point of view, the solution is very good. We get good connectivity. Our privacy is protected. No one can come in and disturb the data.

The product has been easy to install. The process is very quick. You just enter your username and password in order to connect and start using it. It's very user-friendly. 

It is stable. 

I'm not well-versed in VPNs. However, this solution does make me feel like I am secure. 

The product costs a lot of money.

I've been using the solution for the past two and a half years. 

It's quite stable. We haven't come across many glitches on the system. 

I've never had to contact technical support. I can't speak to how helpful or responsive they would be.

I'm not sure if the company has ever used a different VPN previously. 

The implementation process is very simple and straightforward. We just downloaded a script. The standard operating procedure was all there, and we just followed the steps. It was easy to download to our machines to begin using it. 

The deployment and fast. Downloading and installing it takes about 45 minutes. 

My understanding is that this product is a bit more expensive. 

We're customers and end-users. 

I'm not sure which version of the solution I'm using. 

I'd recommend the solution to others as it is safe and secure and makes it easy to connect. Even in environments that have low data or slower internet connection, it works well. 

I'd rat the solution nine out of ten.
