An affordable solution that is easy to maintain and very scalable
Pros and Cons
  • "It's a very scalable solution. We are using the maximum licensing they offer, and it's very affordable given the value."
  • "The deployment of the agent software for the final customer could be simpler and more helpful."

What is our primary use case?

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.

What is most valuable?

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.

What needs improvement?

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

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using this solution for three years now. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is very, very stable. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

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. 

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is very straightforward. 

What about the implementation team?

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. 

What other advice do I have?

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.

Good services with a quick setup but if we lose connectivity we have to re-authenticate
Pros and Cons
  • "The initial setup is easy."
  • "Whenever there's a drop in internet or a connection fluctuation, it gets disconnected automatically."

What is our primary use case?

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

What is most valuable?

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

The initial setup is easy.

What needs improvement?

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. 

For how long have I used the solution?

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

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

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.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

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.

How are customer service and support?

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. 

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

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

How was the initial setup?

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.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

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

What other advice do I have?

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.

Reliable, easy to set up, and has helpful technical support services
Pros and Cons
  • "Technical support is always helpful."
  • "If there's any cloud version available, instead of on-premise, that would be ideal."

What is our primary use case?

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

What is most valuable?

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. 

What needs improvement?

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

For how long have I used the solution?

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

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

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. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

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. 

How are customer service and support?

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.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

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.

What about the implementation team?

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

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

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. 

What other advice do I have?

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.
