(1-2 of 2)AnyConnect to connect simply
- Seamless integration with existing AD.
- Stable connection with low overhead for client.
- Client check and auto-update AnyConnect client software makes it easier to manage.
- Licensing costs can be a bit expensive.
- Requires Cisco subscription for updates to client software.
- Requires Cisco firewall.
- With enforced work from home, Cisco AnyConnect allowed us to work "normally".
- ROI is negative as the initial setup costs of the VPN gateway and the ongoing subscription costs can be quite prohibitive, compared to the benefits derived from seamless connectivity.
- Once set up correctly, the connection works seamlessly and stays connected as long as Internet connectivity is maintained.
- Errors on VPN gateway can negatively impact general browsing on the end-point.
- We have taken remote backups of executive computers
- Published group policy and WSUS to keep remote computers safe
- Able to access centralized resources for remote workers
- Control and manage remote users computers
- Provide encrypted connections to access internet using remote internet gateway, when required.
- Backup of all remote user computers.

Cisco AnyConnect - Easy, Fast, Secure
- Autoconnections are seamless for the users. There's nothing for them to do once it's all setup.
- It recognizes security certificates for the PC and user, so you can easily lock down the connectivity to the specific users and/or machines you need for your environment.
- Unless the WIFI is extremely poor, the software can make the connection and allow your users to function on the VPN.
- The client logs are usually good enough to begin troubleshooting issues - for example if you aren't getting good enough WIFI for connections or the certificates have expired and so on. However I wish they had more robust logs available without installing their special tools from Cisco support.
- I wish it could prevent users from open[ing] applications while it was attempting to connect. It's usually super fast to make connections, but this is based on the WIFI to some degree. Occasionally, we have users open Outlook too fast and add-ins gets disabled. It's not really a problem with this software, but I do wish it had the ability to prevent apps from opening until the connection is made or fails.
- It's not an expensive software license if you already have the Cisco firewalls that offer the licensing. So choosing this was not a significant investment for our company.
- Our alternate remote connection method for now is Citrix XenApp, which everyone hates because it's slow and they don't have access to their local drives, printers, and so on. So it's made our users extremely happy after we set up AnyConnect for everyone.
- During the pandemic, if we had not used AnyConnect, many of our users would not have been able to work, causing significant losses for our company and perhaps some user jobs.
- Originally AnyConnect was used for travel, so only a few users had it installed, but it became our number one method for remote connectivity for work at home during COVID19. We were able to get ALL users home to work within 2 days of HR deciding on the plan - which was time for the full user install and training!
- Some of our attorneys are now able to use the AnyConnect while in court to access documents on the fly when needed unexpectedly.
- Secure remote connectivity to on prem servers for users to access data
- Secure remote connectivity forcing GPOs, EDR, and other security services to run as required by our policies
- Secure remote connectivity to enforce upgrades (OS and application) while users work from home
- We are looking to potentially open AnyConnect usage with trusted vendors for remote connectivity for scheduled maintenance of their applications.
- If you use the machine and user based security certificates with the always-on feature, there is zero user interaction required. The user connects to WIFI, then the software automatically connects with zero user interaction.
- If you use the MFA for the AnyConnect connection, once the VPN address is entered in software once and it successfully connects, it will remember it. For there the user just has to connect to WIFI, select the remembered VPN, enter their MFA code (or a push if setup). It's super easy.
- None
- We didn't really notice any changes in the AnyConnect itself. The upgrades are all for security pieces users do not see.
- More security - Cisco is always closing security vulnerabilities it finds.
- Confirmed support for Windows 11
