Easy management and security ensure reliable 24/7 connectivity

Zero Trust Network Access has helped my organization in securing standard applications because it's mandated to have it. It provides peace of mind knowing that we have that deployed in our network. Cisco Secure Access's ability to provide secure access via standard HTTP2, and optionally, QUIC protocol is good. It complies with the new standards. The impact of Cisco Secure Access on protecting my organization from phishing and ransomware threats has been good so far. We've been doing well with no threats.

Simple solution and good WAF

Sucuri could provide help for specific security alerts in-line instead of requiring users to search for it in the help section. Users get errors or EBAs, and if they want to read about it, they need to find it in the help section of the site. It would be more helpful to allow users to see more information and tips immediately from within the alert.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The features of Cisco Secure Access that I most prefer are easy management or manageability, and overall security."

"I rate the stability of Cisco Secure Access as ten out of ten."

"I use this solution for securing security controls like Secure Security Control (SSC) for local Internet breakouts."

"Cisco Secure Access has had a positive impact on protecting our organization from threats such as phishing and ransomware."

"The impact Cisco Secure Access has on protecting my company from threats such as phishing and ransomware is significant."

"I find the posture checking feature of Cisco Secure Access the most valuable."

"We have a dedicated account team, so we've got all the people we need to engage with if there's an issue."

"The main feature of interest to me and the customers is DNS security and Integrated Secure Web Control (ISWC)."

More Cisco Secure Access pros

"The initial setup was very easy."

"Domain name scanning since it allows us to scan all our domain names and determine whether it has malware or if is reported as phishing."

"It significantly eases the workload and streamlines the initial setup required to protect a website."

"I use it as a WAF, which is basically a web firewall to monitor and block traffic to our web server."

"The initial setup was straightforward. Straight forward because the plugin can simply be installed and then it does its job. It's not complex, there is no learning curve. The online scan is simple, you put in the website address and the scan gives us a report on the browser itself. It's simple to use."

"The most valuable part is the analytics and visualization."

Cons

"There is a need for improved global coverage since the service relies on the cloud provider's data centers."

"The worst part was the migration from Umbrella to Cisco Secure Access; we experienced some difficulties during that process."

"Throughout my experience with Cisco Secure Access, I have had some stability and reliability issues, including lagging when accessing the portal."

"I received support from the team for Cisco Secure Access related to web services. There were occasional delays of up to two working days."

"This is my first time in healthcare after being in commercial space for a long time. It's always a challenge because we can't just turn stuff off as we could in the commercial space, since it may interfere with patient care. It takes longer to understand what's going on, so anything that could help give us a faster understanding of what's happening, why it's there, and if it's a risk to us would be helpful."

"The way that we're using Cisco Secure Access today, it doesn't scale with the growing needs of our organization, however, if we leveraged more of the cloud services, it would fit better."

"In my opinion, Cisco Secure Access could be improved by potentially incorporating features that other brands have been using. I see benefits from features offered by competitors, which could enhance the Cisco experience if adapted thoughtfully."

More Cisco Secure Access cons

"In terms of improvement, the cost factor is always there."

"I would rate this solution an eight out of ten. The reason is that we have found sometimes customers or Google saying that there is something wrong with the website but Sucuri says that the site is clean so we do have to look at the site manually which means that the Sucuri scan does not pick up anything and everything."

"Sucuri could provide help for specific security alerts in-line instead of requiring users to search for it in the help section."

"The main improvement I would like to see is support for .NET applications. If they could include this feature, I would include more sites in the protection."

"Confident score: Currently it does not have one and there are cases that most websites flagged are false-positives."

"It would greatly benefit customers if they implemented an online chat or messaging system for quicker assistance."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing, setup costs, and licensing for Cisco Secure Access have been very competitive compared to other platforms. I believe that if Cisco continues to improve costs or offers something similar to a Cisco credit, it would attract more customers."

"For what you get, it's a fair price in comparison to other products."

"It is confusing. When you look at the prices, you have different licensing and years of licensing that you have to purchase. Additionally, it's unclear what service you get from those licenses regarding end-user support. We have a representative who has to walk me through it every time."

"Sucuri offers different plans, both the standard plan and an advanced plan. So there are different plans to choose from."

"It stands out as a more cost-effective option compared to other cloud-based security services like Cloudflare or JetPass."

"The ROI has been very good. Because of the solution, I have a tax break. The site developers were not always experienced people. We used to pay more for cleaning up the site when it was infected. Now, we have peace of mind knowing that the solution will clean up the site and that we won't have to go through the unnecessary process of restoring it from a backup. The protection on the WAF and the measures for backups have also prevented our site from going down."

"I’d simply say it’s really worth it."
