If you need to connect to other servers and PC's then securelink will give you the access you need.

• I think it integrates very well with Meraki, and that's the best thing I like about this product. Meraki is all about simplicity, and when a customer has the same user interface to get their network and security experience just right out of the Meraki dashboard, it really works. Very great. For example, if you want to secure the internet user, you want to use any, sorry, you want to secure any application, you want to secure any brand, it's just a matter of minutes. You can do it.

• Intuitive. It's been so easy to use and set up. I can set up a vendor, they get the email on how to log in with a link to the site, and they can figure out what to do, for the most part.
• I like the fact that they are still relatively small as an organization. I have strong communication channels with the support staff and they are extremely responsive to any questions I have.
• It's a well thought of product.

• I think it's a very hard question or a tricky question to answer right now. Some capabilities are handled by the Umbrella at the backend. So basically it's not that bad. What we do is if we want to enable some of the capabilities, sometimes it actually does a close launch to a different route. So if we can have more and more features to be integrated right out of the Meraki dashboard, that is the only improvement that I see. Other than that, this product is really, really good.

• JAVA updates can sometimes break the securelink connection. Securelink needs to do a better job of updating the product to work with new JAVA updates.
• Internet Explorer updates can sometimes break the securelink connection. Securelink needs to do a better job of updating the product to work with new versions of IE.

Cisco Secure Connect is designed as a unified, turnkey solution that simplifies the complexities of managing network and security functions in hybrid work settings.

This integration can lead to improved operational efficiency, making it easier for IT teams to oversee their infrastructure.

The only thing that keeps this from being a 10 is that I'm not the sole decision maker. If I was, it would be a 10. Who knows if Oracle is going to produce an overpriced option that does not work well that I'll be forced to move to

I gave this rating because it delivers the strongly on things that matters the most to our business like security, reliability and better user experience.

Very quick and easy, its a tidy set up, no messy cables and the sound and video quality is excellent. I use this weekly for home calls and larger team calls across the UK and Europe and have no problems. The engineers were in and out within a couple of hours

I've used WebEx and a few other products like that, but never as an enterprise class solution. Securelink is one of those systems that just seems to make sense when you look at it. Honestly, I stopped my research after i saw this product

It is flexible across desktop os and mobile os
