The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required.

There is a need to increase the features of the product so that it can provide users with full access to the network. It would be good if the product were able to provide users with specific application access. In our company, we open all of our networks for users, but we can't open a specific application network or separate applications with VPN.

The product has some connectivity issues, making it an area where improvements are required.

We faced difficulties with the automated renewal of a client certificate, resulting in a manual deployment in one instance. Enhancing the client certificate deployment process could be a valuable improvement, ensuring smoother and more reliable certificate renewal experiences in the future.

I would like Cisco IOS SSL VPN to provide a faster connection. In my company, we also would like to receive better resolutions to any of the issues we face while using Cisco IOS SSL VPN since we deal in huge numbers. We also use Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client in our company.

Sometimes, a few VPN servers do not work, and we need to switch to another server. The solution does not give us options if the connectivity to one server is not available. The product can be more proactive, but it can't be because it relies on the internet.

The solution's graphical user interface is not very user-friendly. I assume that Cisco IOS SSL VPN has a better VPN client, which works better on Windows 10 or Windows 11 machines. Our clients struggled with the solution's VPN client on Windows 7 machines.

The solution's configuration could be made easier. Cisco IOS SSL VPN has different service scenarios and features. For a different feature, we must configure a different type of settings and deploy them in external environments, which users find hard to deploy.

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.

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.

From my perspective, Cisco has a history of problems with the area of web filtering, because of which my company sometimes had to change the vendor and the appliance. The aforementioned area needs to be considered for improvement in the product. Previously, in our company, we used Trend Micro, and later, we switched to another solution. In our company, we changed many vendors in the last ten years. If you want to implement a solution, you need to follow the new implementation procedure, so from VIX to IM, there are many changes.

In general, the pricing of the product should improve, and it should be made easier to deploy.

In addition to Cisco, we work with other solutions on behalf of our customers, such as Fortinet for FortiGate, but this latter solution can achieve the same results at a lower price. 

FortiGate does not charge the client a licensing fee, although Cisco charges clients a couple of dollars per year for each license. 

Other brands, such as Fortinet and even Juniper, do not charge a fee for the very good training they provide, but Cisco does. 

Cisco should make itself available at a discount, if not for free.

When many people are using the internet at home, which is usually right after dinner, this type of service is a little bit hard to use. The internet becomes quite slow, and sometimes, I have to stop using this application. I am not sure if this issue is because of the application or my internet provider.

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.

The Secure Plus Connect product could be improved with many enhancements in any price license, especially for licensing. Cisco could simplify the licensing; it could make it easier to order and use the features.

The UI could be improved for the licensing part. 

Additionally, Cisco could integrate global traffic balancing features into the new firmware for the firewall, which would be beneficial for administrators.

The company sets the policies for the default location, and destination, which the VPN connects. If there is a problem with one of those locations, which happens sometimes when I travel I need to have an option to select a different available location. Currently, I am unable to see that from a user's point of view.

I think the management of the design of the console or portal needs to improve because when you compare it to other vendors, you find that the graphical interface is old. I do, however, believe that the newer version has an improved graphical interface.

An improvement in the scalability of the solution will also be great.

I am mostly satisfied with the product. The biggest issue and the reason we do not make more use of it is the pricing. If Cisco can provide us discounts like Microsoft we could make better use of the product. There are other organizations providing discounts to non-profits. They realize the need, and they are creating programs. Microsoft has discount programs for non-profits. With Amazon, we have joined a special program where they are providing us services at a discount for non-profit. Cisco is quite expensive in comparison. So we decide to use what makes the most sense for our model. We see that there are these offers and we decide to use Amazon for some purposes. 

So if Cisco did have a similar program — a non-profit program — it would be great for the utilization of other products as well. We don't have a big budget like enterprise businesses and we budget more like a small business does. But at the moment, for Cisco, we pay the same price that everybody else pays. If they had programs for non-profits, more non-profits would join the program and make use of their services.

We would like to expand to use many other products from Cisco as well. We need them. But we're not able to choose them because of the pricing. We want to use the Cisco products because they service the enterprise level and we would like to have Cisco firewalls, switches, and everything. Unfortunately, the pricing is making us get out from incorporating Cisco products.

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. View full review »
