    This single product has ruined any trust I have for ANY cisco product the second that "Zero Trust" is mentioned.

    It does exactly what it needs to. The only times I've had serious issues with rolling out to a vendor is when they have a "contractual agreement" to only use their solution. Almost every vendor that I've worked with and shown this product to has been skeptical for the first 5 minutes and fully converted to liking the ease of use of the product by 10 minutes

    • Java based. Always an issue. I know they are working on this and it will be Javaless if we need it. I know that Java can cause issues across the board and I understand the need of it, but it does not make it any better when there are Java issues.
    • Stronger integration with the Active Directory. Currently its only read-only, which is good and bad.
    • I would love to see an App. I know they are working on this as well.

    Usability
    Cisco
    Took over a year to implement with Ciscos help. We are not able to initiate 2FA that we control. And until recently, was not even able to enforce MFA. In our experience, Licensing is a freaking joke! We have to license machines. For each machine, we get 1gb of data added to a shared pull. That seems simple right, but its not. We tried to add licenses and can't, cause, in our experience, no one knows how it works so I literally can't pay for more. What happens when we hit the cap you say? In our experience, No one can tell us. Why cant we MFA the IoTOD with Duo? No one knows. Than I hope you are a master at IoT firewalls! Because, in our experience, standard rules don't work. Need zone based routing but there is no way to know what needs to be CLI and what is in GUI

    The employees at Securelink have always been responsive and seem to be invested in the success of my company. They truly understand what their product means to us so if there is a problem, they are always willing to help. In the rare event that something is found on their end, they will be proactive and reach out to someone to help and get something on calendar for a fix

    Securelink seems to work better than LogMein for a large enterprise group. Our company has over 10,000 different connections and securelink manages them well.

    • I've found that Securelink allows me to get a vendor access to an application for support purposes much faster than a provisioned VPN account and the red tape around this. I can set up a vendor to access an application suite in a half hour and it will be more secure than regular provisioning.
    • The ROI is yet to be seen on this, but it certainly makes Compliance, Internal Audit, and Legal very happy, which helps everybody.
    • Internally, there is much more push back and it has been problematic. For a tech, to have to log in to a server and navigate to a system is considered cumbersome, when before all they had to do was open up Putty or RDP to a server to get in. The only way to combat this is to force them to use Securelink by removing rights. Near impossible for the domain admins.
