Cisco Secure Client (including AnyConnect) Reviews

Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client is used to access the company's resources remotely.

The most valuable features of the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client is the reliability and scalability.

The solution could improve the setup, it is complex.

I have been using Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client for approximately five years.

The stability of the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client is good.

The scalability is good but it depends on the hardware that is being used.

We have approximately 60 people using the solution. We do not plan to increase users of this solution.

The support from Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client is good.

I did not use another solution prior to Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client.

The setup of the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client is complex. However, once it has been done many times it becomes standard and not difficult.

The implementation of the solution was done in-house.

There is a license needed to use this solution. There are different licensing models available, such as a three-year license.

I recommend this solution to others.

I rate Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client a nine out of ten.

Our primary use case for this solution is connections. We use it to connect internally. 

We have been using this solution for four years.

The solution is very stable.

The solution is scalable and secure. We have over 10,000 users utilizing this solution in our organization. 

We do not have experience with customer service and support.

The initial setup is straightforward.

We implemented in-house.

The solution is priced reasonably.

I rate the solution an eight out of ten. The solution is very good and easy to configure, but the price could be reduced.

This solution allows our staff to be able to work from home. Our students are also able to connect to our internal network to do their work.

The solution is valuable because we need it for both use cases. Our students are our customers, and our staff needs to do their work.

The deployment of the agent software for the final customer could be simpler and more helpful.

We have been using this solution for three years now. 

The solution is very, very stable. 

It's a very scalable solution. Including staff and students, we have 9,000 users. We are using the maximum licensing they offer, and it's very affordable given the value. 

The initial setup is very straightforward. 

The deployment was done in-house and it took about one week. We didn't need any technical support, so it was perfect. 

We have yearly licensing and it's very affordable. 

My advice to those considering the product is to just do it because the solution is very good, very scalable, and very easy to maintain. I think it's a very, very good option.

I would rate this solution as a ten out of ten. 

We primarily use the solution for connection. We connect to the internet with it. 

It serves the purpose of allowing us to see the connection. 

The initial setup is easy.

Whenever there's a drop in internet or a connection fluctuation, it gets disconnected automatically. If it would automatically reconnect, that would be the best thing so that we can have continuity and no breakdown in connectivity. It would save us from re-authenticating. 

I've been using the solution for four years now. 

The product is stable unless there's a fluctuation in connections as the internet can fluctuate anytime. We can lose stuff, or the whole connectivity, the moment there's a slight microsecond of connectivity. It tries to reconnect. However, it's not always successful, and that's where the pain is.

I can't say the solution is very scalable. You need a specific version. Even if they come out with a new one, I'm not sure scaling is on the list of priorities. 

We have more than 50 people using the product currently.

We only really dealt with them during installation. The installation itself has a lot of hurdles to get the right version and right connectivity. We had our internal support team and they worked with Cisco to resolve everything. 

Cisco is recognized across the industry, which is why we used them.

The implementation is quite easy - if the person is aware of the right version. The only challenge that I have been facing with Cisco VPN is the version. If we are using an independent version, it's next to impossible. Therefore, we have to always ensure that we are using the right version of Cisco VPN, as there are multiple versions available on the internet and one can download anything. 

Once you are using the right version, it hardly takes more than five minutes to set everything up.

The version I am using is free. There is no license cost. 

We are a customer and end-user.

I'm unsure which version of the solution we're on now. 

I'd advise new users to ensure they get the right version. Otherwise, they will run into trouble. 

I'd rate the solution six out of ten. 

I use the solution to connect to a VPN for remote work. 

The solution provides seamless connectivity to the VPN without delay when you have a good internet connection. 

The solution should not rely on tokens from the mobile application for logins. If you don't have your phone handy, you can't log in. Email notifications or another single sign-in method would resolve this issue. 

I have been using the solution for three years. 

The solution is stable with no technical issues. 

The solution is scalable to a wide range of users. Our company has 3,000 users and many worked remotely during Covid without any issues. 

Our internal IT support team handles most issues but the solution's technical support is good when needed. 

Positive

The initial setup is straightforward. 

The solution was implemented in-house. 

When researching options, it is important to assess compatibility, the number of users, and the time it takes to implement a solution.

I rate the solution a nine out of ten. 

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 it for working from home. 

It's flexible and easy to use. You just need to enter the VPN details, and you can connect immediately and access what you need. Of course, access depends on the whitelist and access list configured by the network team.

It is easy to set up.

The solution is stable and reliable.

It is scalable. 

There is nothing they need to improve at this moment. 

I've been using the solution for ten years or more. 

The product has been stable. There are no bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze. It is reliable. The performance has been good. 

We have 30,000 people using the product right now.

We have found that it scales well and as needed.

We're happy right now. We're using it, and we have a contract already with Cisco. We'll use it as necessary.

The initial setup was straightforward and very simple. It was not overly complex or difficult.

The finance department handles the licensing. it's not an aspect I'm directly involved in. 

Although I don't know the exact version number, we are on the latest iteration of the product.

We are Cisco partners.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

I would suggest that potential new users make sure that whatever is allowed into the infrastructure and network is configured by their network operation center. This should be in line with the requirements of the company or the client since cyber security is super important nowadays. You cannot afford to have a data breach. This is important especially if employees or users are tech-savvy. There could be leakage if they know how to go back and tweak the settings.

It's for mobile users accessing corporate resources from the internet.

For some with a client list, you don't have to prepare any client beforehand. You just access the URL and you can download it, so that's easy. It doesn't require any prep on the client's end which makes implementation faster. It's an easy initial setup.

Technical support is always helpful.

It's stable.

The solution has the potential to scale. 

If there's any cloud version available, instead of on-premise, that would be ideal. That's one thing that could be helpful.

I've had a few cases over the last five years

I haven't received any complaints about this solution. We haven't had a word of many bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze on clients. It is reliable. 

The solution can scale to a certain point. Up to 500, companies should be okay. After that, we may run into problems. That's our product design. That's maybe not have something to do with the product itself.

Typically, our clients get licenses for 20 to 30 people. All levels of an organization can have access to the product. Anyone can use it. 

We provide technical support to our clients. 

In terms of us reaching out to support, it's rare that I get disappointed with Cisco tech. They are quite responsive and knowledgeable as well.

Positive

The initial implementation process is simple. 

The size of the deployment depends on the amount of personnel you'll need, however, in our experience, we've only ever needed one or two people to deploy it. 

After we get an order from the customer, they have some admin work to be done, which takes probably up to two weeks or three weeks. After three weeks, we have the project manager and the engineer assigned to the opportunity. Then, it might take up to ten days.

Maintenance is minimal. We may only need one or two people to handle maintenance. We don't have many issues with the solution.

We provide assistance to our clients in terms of setting the solution up.

Licensing usually involves a yearly contract. I don't have any details in terms of what the exact pricing is, exactly. 

The pricing is all-inclusive. You don't need to concern yourself with add-on costs. 

We are a partner. We sell to and implement for our customers.

We tend to use the latest version that we have on our server. It may not be the latest in the market, however, our engineering team chooses the best software for our service, so it's the latest on our server. The difference is that it may not be the latest in the market.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. 

I use the solution to access my servers at work. It's for connection to my VPN servers.

The product makes it easy to connect remotely to machines that are remote.

The initial setup is straightforward.

The solution is stable.

The dashboard and interface are fine.

I don't have any issues with the level of security on offer.

They should do more updates regularly. More frequent updates would be ideal.

I used the solution maybe for 10 years or so.

The stability of the product is great. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

I'm not quite sure about the scalability part. It's just a client tool that I use on my machine. It's not really necessary to scale per se.

Maybe 500 people are using the product.

We did not previously use a different solution. 

The initial setup is easy. It's straightforward and not overly difficult or complex. 

The setup is very quick. It doesn't take more than two minutes. 

The solution is supported by our help desk, which is comprised of about three people. 

I was able to handle the initial setup myself. I didn't need any outside assistance. I didn't use consultants or integrators. 

I have not witnessed an ROI while using this solution. 

I don't handle the licensing aspect. I can't speak to the costs involved. 

I'm unsure of which version of the solution we are on. My understanding is that it is the most recent version.

I'd recommend this solution to others. It seems like a good product. I'd rate it eight out of ten.

Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client is used to connect our enterprise applications. We are not into zero-trust. So, we are still using the VPN to connect to our enterprise applications. We are still using the VPN to connect to our enterprise applications.

Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client's most valuable feature is the ability to connect to our enterprise applications, on-premise applications, and cloud any place in the world

Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client can be improved by having better speed and reliability. However, the speed and reliability are already really good. 

I have been using the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client for approximately 10 years.

Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client is stable. It has been keeping up with all the load from everyone connecting to the enterprise systems or working remotely. We're not seeing any problems.

I have found the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client to be highly scalable because upon releasing each and every version, all the new features are getting added.

We have 200 people in my organization that is using this solution.

I have not used other solutions previously.

The initial setup of the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client is simple. We only need to down the solution from the Portal and fill out a couple of VPN-related information, and then we are all set to go.

We use a third-party IT team for the implementation. The networking IT people will help configure and get it set up.

Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client is already in the market, and most enterprise customers are using AnyConnect today.

I rate Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client a ten out of ten.
