Find out in this report how the two Enterprise Infrastructure VPN solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution has good performance."
"It's an ideal gateway solution for small and medium businesses, i.e., around 300 devices can be easily handled."
"AnyConnect SMC's best features are that it's secure and connects seamlessly to clients' networks."
"The most valuable feature of Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client is the consistency, I have not had any issues with the performance."
"It is reliable and easy to configure, and the Cisco Firewall can last for many years."
"Advanced malware protection helps us to prevent any virus from contaminating computers. We also have DLP for prevention. And AnyConnect has a feature that lets us do some sandboxing to evaluate files that arrive from the outside. So before opening them, we can check them with the sandbox."
"What I like most about Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client is that it's easy to use, and that is its main advantage. You can use it without the need for any setup because it's centrally pre-installed, so you just need to log in with your username and password. I didn't experience any problems with the solution in terms of losing connectivity. It works very well every time."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"I like that it is really easy to use, it's a simple product. It can connect remotely with a secure network."
"The setup is quick and easy on the client-side."
"Perimeter 81 is very pretty."
"The benefits are really built into the underlying protocol, however, Perimeter81 makes these available in a user-friendly way."
"The solution provides us with an easy way to configure and join the VPN with Perimeter 81."
"It has provided a seamless gateway to much-needed platforms."
"Even after restarting, it tries to quickly reestablish connection which is very helpful."
"Distributing the agent was very simple, allowing us to enforce security posture on our devices (i.e. S1, Disk-encryption, etc.)."
"The feature that I have found to be most valuable is the reputation that the company has regarding privacy. Nowadays, this is critical, especially when you do all of your work online."
"It is a scalable solution."
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."
"There is a speed limit for VPNs because of the encryption."
"Every two weeks there was a new version to install which was annoying for the users."
"Whenever there's a drop in internet or a connection fluctuation, it gets disconnected automatically."
"More frequent updates would be ideal."
"The notifications need to be improved. If the VPN is disconnected for a long period of time, they should push out notifications. We need to manually check if the VPN is connected or not. Sometimes it automatically disconnects, but the user doesn't get notifications, and we need to troubleshoot or open the client to manually reconnect. Auto-reconnection would be an improvement."
"If you're just turning on your laptop, it should connect automatically without keying in the credentials."
"I have been working with the same interface for the last ten years. I would say that it needs some improvements made."
"Even when your internet speed is good, once you connect to the VPN the speed gets automatically reduced, which is worrisome."
"I don't know if it is technically feasible, however, if the Desktop App could be used as a Web App or a Chrome Extension it would be very nice."
"Offering in-app explanations detailing what each feature does, its benefits and potential use cases can help users better understand and utilize the tool to its full potential."
"I have found that the log-in/out process takes quite some time."
"I would suggest adding more networking and security features that allow more customization within their platform."
"The overall UI could be improved and updated to bring a simpler feel to the application."
"What would be useful would be a notification/warning that a session is due to timeout after exceeding the default connection limit."
"If I were to be nitpicky, I would ask that Perimeter 81 offer the option for us to change the color of the graphical user interface, like maybe pink or green or so on."
"In order to have to bypass the login using the website, a good feature for Perimeter 81 to have is a login instance in the Perimeter 81 application. I'm using a Mac and we don't have that functionality."
