Cisco AnyConnect Reviews

We use Cisco AnyConnect to connect our office laptop to the corporate network so that we can access corporate network sites and servers without any hassle while working from home or any remote location at the client site. It is easy to set up a VPN service and the connection is reliable and secure. Using this tool, our IT system can track endpoint behavior in a better manner. The tool provides security against viruses, malware, rogue websites, and other online threats. It can easily be integrated with other 2-factor authentication tools to provide enhanced security. Installation and configuration of the software are easy and user interface is quite simple to use.

The prices are on the higher side, but the tool is worth the investment. Other features such as one click-connection, storing login details would be advantageous. It shows error in connection sometimes.

The ability to sync with other applications for 2 factor authentication

The app sometimes delays in sending nmotifcations

The best thing about Cisco AnyConnect is its robust security features, such as two-factor authentication and encryption, which have given me peace of mind when accessing sensitive company data from outside the office.

While Cisco AnyConnect is a highly effective remote access tool, it can sometimes have connectivity issues, especially when using older or less powerful devices.

1. Can access different Countries Servers2. Can Restrict People Connecting to Company Tools3. Can Find Employees Mis-using Internet and Company Data

1. Sometime Server connection Takes more time2. Maintenance of Cisco AnyConnect in Office Hours.3. Bit costly compared to Other tools

Cisco AnyConnect automatically connects to the VPN when you start your laptop so one doesn't have to manually connect to the VPN. At least this is how it's configured in our case.

When you are already connected, you can't even drop down and see all the profiles that are configured. Also, at times, it simply fails to connect and then we have to run ipconfig release/ renew and reboot the laptop to make it work.

I like the advanced Security features of this product that make it stand out from the top five products.

I wish it could be a little less expensive. From a security perspective, it is worth spending. After all enterprise security matters.

Easy to install and configure, very agile and does not consume computer resources.

I think they should implement auto-update of the program to be even more sure of the product's security fixes.

While using Cisco I have not had to worry about my work being compromised.

I have not had any issues who Cisco which is very relieving.

The overall speed and simple setup for a end users connection. When using a VPN for IT needs I find this product is the most reliable for structure ad speed of the connection. I have used other VPN as well and have ran into issues with tunneling. But with this application it has been the less stress causing in the VPN world. Also running my applications from my pc via vpn connection on any connect runs just like you are connected to the original network vs VPN. No lag or delay.

The gui interface install on the user side could be a bit more user friendly.

This software is very easy to use with only a few clicks. I log in to work using VPN on a daily basis. I usually work from home, but I have used Cisco Any Connect when having difficulty with our network at work. There is some setup involved to enter the VPN, but that is relatively easy the first time using the application. I have also added additional VPN addresses which is also very easy. The current setup at work has multiple VPNs to choose from on a dropdown list.
The application is also easy for support to check and is easy for the user to check as well

Not this software but having to sign in every day. The current "clock" is set for 15 hours so there is basically no interruption.
If I am unable to connect to the VPN, I do not know if it is a specific connection to that site, or a problem with my Internet connection

It has a ton of features to do whatever we need and is generally a very solid product

Make sure to test/verify your configurations as it is very easy to allow unintentional access when using the dynamic access policies. The client certificate requirement settings are a bit unintuitive as well.

It is also very frustrating the ASDM client is essentially required to make changes some of the settings such as the DAP policies. The umbrella DNS client built into the AnyConnect mobility client often causes issues requiring restarts of the local system's wifi or even a reboot.

As a company, we use AnyConnect to be able to work from home using our own internet, so that we can still access the company website, which has been fantastic throughout the pandemic where we had to resort to working from home. AnyConnect is stable and reliable, and easy to use. It is also easy to install and configure for our users, taking just about 5 minutes to fully set up on someone's PC.

Occasionally AnyConnect can think a user's internet connection is guest wifi and doesn't allow them to connect fully. You have to then disable captive portal detection for this to work. Weirdly only seemed to affect Virgin Media customers. Sometimes it also doesn't remember what connection you last used, and you have to re-type it out - this isn't a major issue as our connection name is simple.

It is a good vpn client that allows you to access company resources through vpn. It is easy to configure with minimal efforts. Most widely used daily to access any resources in company network

It is free software and easy to use. No cons so far.

Once set up, it can connect to your office network at startup automatically and unlike vpn services, it doesnt toggle speeds.

Configuring the settings might be overwhelming with all the technicalities and no easy to use guide, but once its set up, its definitely well worth it.

What I like about this product is that it is a very "hands-free" product. What I mean by this, is that AnyConnect once installed and set up on one's PC basically does not require much tweaking or adjusting or essentially much manipulation when it is being used. It stores networks in its memory along with security details and connects automatically and quickly to those networks and only prompts the use when there are no recognized network connections available.

What I like least is the way that it disables the default network connection software. Sometimes when there is a network issue or a network connection issue, the computers standard network software is the best tool to use to troubleshoot network errors. With AnyConnect, it essentially hi-jacks any capabilities the computer's native network software has which in turn does not allow for troubleshooting unless Anyconnect is explicitly disabled. I would like to see this product work a bit more smoothly with a computer's native software and network settings, or at least for more popular operating systems such as those by Apple and Microsoft.

For this software, we use their phone products. I have used it the entire time at my current job, and my previous job. I like how easy it is to use. It's really simple to make calls, receive calls, transfer, and so forth. I really like the layout of the phone, and the speed dial functions that are easy to set up and navigate. The history feature is great, and holds the history for several weeks-it is also very easy to filter through.

I don't know that I have found anything I dislike about it. I think there are more features I could be using, but I don't know about them. Like most products, there are always more options. Overall, it's very easy and simple to use.

I feel safe when using Cisco VPN to connect a customer's network and do my job. With AnyConnect, I can use it to connect to different setups the customer's may adopt. Not everybody has the same setup and I need to use to different ones everyday. If I would have to use a different client for each setup, it would be a mess. AnyConnect helps a lot in achieving this goal.

Sometimes it can mess with my network settings mostly by conflicting with other VPN clients that I have installed (from other manufacturers). But it is easy to solve by installing these conflicting clients in Virtual Machines and working from inside it.
