Cisco IOS SSL VPN Reviews

We use the on-premises deployment model. Our primary use case of this solution is to support remote office workers.

The most valuable features are that it's reliable, convenient, and easy. It always works if configured well.

I would like for it to have support for the Dutch language. I typically use English in 99% of our communications but for some people, it matters. 

I've been using this solution for fifteen years.

Stability is good. 

I don't have any issues with scalability. We have around 3,000 users. 

The initial setup is straightforward. The time it takes to deploy depends on the product internally. It took a couple of months. It was a phased approach, that was not due to the complexity of Cisco. In total it took a couple of months. 

We used an integrator for the deployment. 

It was quite easy to set up. I don't get any complaints about it. 

I would rate it an eight out of ten because I would never give a ten out of ten. 

We use the on-prem deployment model of this solution. 

The interface is user-friendly. 

In terms of what needs improvement, it should have better integration. Although, it might have already been taken care of.  

I have been using this solution for more than seven years.

It's been stable for as long as I've been using it. Any issues that we had didn't come from this solution, they were from a third-party. It is stable. 

Their technical support is good.

The initial setup was easy. It was easy to install. 

I would rate it a nine out of ten. In order to make it a ten, it should have better integration.

I would recommend this solution to someone considering it.

• Great encryption capabilities • Versatile Remote Access configuration down to user level settings • Customizable Web Portals Internet/Extranet Sites • Monitoring VPN activity and errors • CLI provides quick access to various states of the device • Troubleshooting Tools

• Troubleshooting error codes not always decipherable • Firewall rule configuration not as intuitive as Checkpoint. ASDM needs work

Cisco ASA VPN device with the 8.4(5) image and ASDM 7.11. This device meets the requirements for FIPS 140-2 cryptographic requirements for federal agencies. The purpose of the device is that it ensures the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information between networks. The device is best used between different locations offering secure communications for users, clients (DMZ), and partners (DMZ). Cisco has been in the business for creating borderless networks for some time. Overall performance and features of the device are great. It does take a little time to get used to the commands, as they are a little different from the Cisco IOS router but not as different as another vendor like 3com now, HP. Visibility and granular control of applications and micro-applications,

Virtual Private Network over Secure Socket Layer protocol has already been in business for quite some time now. Brands like Cisco, D-Link, and Netgear have already launched their products a few years back. Though there are many brands, Cisco is still leading the market. Cisco's new ASA device for SSL VPN, has made a new gateway for the technology. While the product is still under review and it has to pass many exploitations and critics, ASA has certainly made a new revolution in SSL VPN technology. With Cisco's ASA hanging around, no more configuring separate gateways, and tunneling complex networks with complicated authentication procedures. Simple user based authentication is possible now with the launch of a new device. The device will let you configure a standard set of users and groups for user based authentication. Hence, the hassle free setting up and operation.

Cisco ASA system doesn't provide interface with radius based user mapping, other than the standard schema of users and groups. This is the one field where you may have trouble with while setting up the device, with your already configured secure network. ASA only provides single network based access control list features. This is a drawback if you have multi-layered networks and several VLANs. The flexibility is lost. There has been a compatibility issue of the device with Windows Internet Explorer version 8. Cisco has provided a beta version to resolve the issue.

Cisco SSL VPN is a bag of mixed features. Some of these features will let you set up an easy secured and remote access of individual networks. At the same time, some of these features will cause some trouble with your already configured network. While we know that SSL VPN is an advanced technological step towards achieving a more secured network against ever growing multiple networking threats, Cisco's SSL VPN device is definitely a wise choice to pick.

I use IOS for VPN. I work overseas often, and sometimes, I can't access what I need without a VPN. Some countries like Indonesia are restrictive, so you need a VPN. We've got about 10,000 employees, and we're all using it. I'm working on a company-provided laptop. I can't connect to our systems without Cisco.

IOS is user-friendly and simple. You connect to a particular VPN, and that's it. You become seamless after that.

I've been using Cisco IOS for about seven years. I've used it since before it was called IOS. 

I've never had any issues with IOS. It's probably a little on the older side, but it does the job.

Cisco customer support is excellent. I've never had issues at all.

I rate Cisco IOS SSL VPN eight out of 10. My main advice is always: Does it work for you? If it works for you, use it.

I use Cisco IOS SSL VPN to securely connect to my corporate network.

The product is great because it is easy and simple. It lets me easily connect from home to my company network in a straightforward way.

Improvements could be made in terms of connectivity for applications.

I have been using Cisco IOS SSL VPN for a few years.

The stability is quite good, although there is room for slight improvement. I would rate the stability as an eight out of ten.

It is a scalable solution. Ten people are using it at my company.
