Overall Satisfaction with Cisco AnyConnect
With the onset of a global need for remote access to company resources, Cisco AnyConnect has been crucial for productivity to continue. We had initially only implemented VPN access for key players and specific departmental needs but have now made it accessible to the entire workforce. What started as an isolated software use became a foundation for continued operations during remote work scenarios.
- Scalability
- Ease of use
- Security
- On premise deployment
- Biometric integration could be useful
- A built in direct link to our support team would be really nice
- Allowed continued operations during [a] pandemic.
- Novice users found it difficult to use causing an increase of support that could have been used more effectively.
We have not had any issues with security using the Cisco AnyConnect software. Because our setup is [on-premise], we do not need to worry about 3rd party intrusions and data loss or corruption. Staying FERPA compliant is easy when managing our own VPN application. We have also been able to create and apply a solid connection to our internal servers and applications with basic network integration.
I have only used these VPN options for personal use and in the support of other users. I am unfamiliar [with] their enterprise ability and generally would not trust them for our needs. From what I have seen, the clients look much more developed than the Cisco AnyConnect client but that is a [nonselling] issue for me.
