This guarantees us a stable connection for the necessary time, easy to install, and without complications for end users even when you have no experience in the area of technology, in addition to being an affordable solution.
- security
- easy
- support
- easier central administration
- integration with other platforms
Currently, my organization uses Cisco AnyConnect to connect its employees who are remote. We manage it in conjunction with the
Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) in this scenario. It is very easy to administer. We currently have about 300 simultaneous sessions per day under an ASA 5580. It is a very useful tool when it comes to developing VPNs and user groups. Integrating it with an AD and DUO is the perfect remote security combination for a VPN.

A tiny tool to provide optimum secure connections
Cisco AnyConnect is being used by the entire company to create secure connections in order to log into company intranet, confidential services, web pages, and portals. As secret or confidential information is being kept in company private networks, a secure connection is required for login. Cisco AnyConnect provides this connection as a mobility client (or it may called as a VPN as well).
- Stable connection without noticeable issues
- Integration with 2-step authentication tools (e.g. RSA)
- No troubleshoot details when encountered a connection problem
- May create conflict with other installed VPN's
We use Cisco AnyConnect to be able to manage equipment in different locations while on the road. It's quick and easy to use and easy enough for non-technical users to get up and running with it.
- Remote access
- Clientless connectivity
- Licensing
- Small business licensing
Cisco Any Connect is using for multiple reasons, one of them is to connect through SSL from outside company to our company network for users needs to access the internal servers and applications, and the other usage is for handling the authentication for ISE security and the compliance of devices that connect to the network.
- Ease of use for connecting to the VPN.
- Lightweight tool.
- Needs to be used as an endpoint for antivirus and anti-spam tools.
- GUI could use some upgrades.

Feel free to AnyConnect your way on through
AnyConnect is used company wide, it has allowed access to resources internally that otherwise would require users to be onsite or we would need to seek alternative methods for remote work. Accessing services while securely connected to the network avails us of not having as large of an attack surface having fewer services public.
- Provides great flexibility in how users connect and the access they are granted.
- Granular options that can be applied for almost any need.
- Compatibility across platforms ensures the entire user base can work as needed.
- Could do better at rule management.

End-user review of Cisco's AnyConnect
Cisco AnyConnect is being used by our organization as a remote work solution, even before we encountered the pandemic. It allowed us, before, to access resources that we use for our work while being remote or off-site due to any number of reasons within the professional scope, of course.
Now, during these unfortunate times, it only became more useful as it allowed us to continue our day-to-day business, and more importantly, support our customers as well.

- Ease of use - in just a few clicks you are connected!
- Reliable connection - I don't have any issues with connectivity to our office servers.
- Better logging - in case we need to forward it to our IT support.

Cisco AnyConnect Review: An Engineer's perspective
We are using Cisco AnyConnect as the primary VPN tool that allows our employees to remotely work (especially during this unfortunate pandemic) and access internal tools and servers for day to day operations (this includes Terminal Servers, Web Servers, Provisioning Servers, and the likes, as well as Reporting Tools, Sales Generation and CMDB administration).
In just a few clicks, we are into the internal corporate network, which allows us to do our jobs and responsibilities in the comfort (and safety if I may add!) of our home offices.
Being in a collaboration-centric company, it only boosted our credo of "Working together, Everywhere!" and has propelled our collaboration services further--both in terms of internal use, as well as outward-facing to serve our beloved customers.

- Ease of Use
- Security
- Reliability
- Integration
- In our specific case, software updates can be more frequent.
- With that said, adding in additional features (and ease of use to "non-techy" users) will be a great benefit!
- A more concise, detailed reporting/logs would help administrators like myself troubleshoot and manage any issues that may come up.

The best VPN solution ever - you can never go wrong with Cisco
We are using AnyConnect to connect our PCs to the company network while users are working from home, as we have around 20% of the workforce working in a home office.
- VPN Tunneling
- It doesn't auto reconnect in case the connection drops

Cisco AnyConnect is being used at our company for both Virtual private network (VPN) access as well as part of the Cisco Umbrella client to monitor websites that are visited.
- Quick access to internal resources from anywhere.
- Secure connectivity.
- Protection from rogue websites.
- The ability to auto-populate the VPN name field by GPO would be helpful when giving out new equipment with Cisco AnyConnect on it.

AnyConnect is used across our organization - in more than 10 countries. It offers added VPN security that is essential for the company, particularly as our team grows and travels across regions.
- Easy for non-technical colleagues to connect to VPN.
- Support issues resolved very quickly.
- Full visibility offered to the central IT team to manage company users.
- The license isn't cheap, but like other Cisco software, it's worth the investment.
- More information on AnyConnect capabilities would be good for non-technical users.

My company uses Cisco AnyConnect to connect to the company's network while working from home or anywhere outside the office. This allows users to access files in their network folders while connecting to their home wi-fi networks or even while they are having some coffee with friends in the nearest coffee shop.
- It allows you to connect to a private network while you are in a different network.
- Easy to connect and disconnect.
- Integrates with SSO.
- It shows errors once in a while.
- When you have two environments, sometimes the window to select them is visible to the user if they are not allowed to access one or another but have the option to select, it causes confusion.
- The tray icon looks very similar to the Webex icon, which sometimes misleads users (not really a big of a deal).

Good for secure VPN access to protected networks
We use CISCO AnyConnect for secure remote access to our internal networks for employees on managed endpoints. We have a remote work culture and this product enables the business to be mobile while still being able to access applications and infrastructure that cannot be internet facing.
- Integrates well with our existing two-factor authentication providers.
- Integrates with multiple identity stores.
- It can determine the health of client devices by scanning and interrogating the device before being allowed on the network.
- I'd like to see an expanded set of security capabilities to accommodate a Zero Trust type of architecture. This may be available, but I haven't seen it yet.
- I'd like to see AI & ML utilized to protect the network from an expanded set of threats.

Our experience with Cisco AnyConnect could have been better
El cliente de Cisco le falta agregar funciones de segurida, hoy en dÃa las vpns requieren tener más seguridad. En mi entorno se volvÃa lenta la navegación desde las estaciones vs otros clientes
The Cisco client lacks additional security features, nowadays VPNs require more security. In my environment navigation was slow from from the stations vs other clients.

Excellent VPN client, don't expect high-performance file transfers. We've found out like many that Cisco VPN is not really a solution for fast file transfer. For protecting your remote desktop clients, an excellent and mandatory need; But Overall good product.
- For protecting your remote desktop clients an excellent and mandatory need.
- Used many versions of this and seems to improve as it gets older
- File transfer needs to improve
- Not the cheapest Product but worth it
- Need to improve the user-friendly interface.
- Responses take a while but when you get the support it is well worth it.
The entire organization uses it currently for remote employees. This allows all remote employees to access localized servers and shared drives in the organization.
- Easy and simple interface for users to get up and running.
- The VPN rarely drops and seems very reliable.
- It is easy to switch between Cisco VPN profiles to connect to new servers as needed.
- The interface though simple, it really should allow for more features and metrics to display for the user.
- Adding a new profile is not a simple task and the user needs to know where to go in Windows (or OS) to add the file.
