Cisco AnyConnect

Cisco AnyConnect was very easy to install and setup, even for novice users. The setup prompts are very easy to follow, and the login credentials used are well integrated with main company login credentials, so users don't have to remember additional passwords. The layout of the viewer window is intuitive and informative, with a useful overview of status overview and connection time elapsed and remaining.

Easy to use, A bit old UI but it does the job. Cisco has been adding a lot of features to it. And enabling their cloud service that is Umbrella was a great solution. It provides DNS security as well. Integrates with FTD (Firepower Threat Defense) and ASA as well.

The module itself is launch and forget. You must apply for the server configuration on the Cisco device. If you are using the standard configuration, ie, VPN client to LAN access it is very straightforward. If you need to apply for 802.1x authentication with the certificate you can surely use the wizards to help you to do the dirty work

For our users, they login to their firm provided laptop/desktop at home, Cisco AnyConnect sees they are not on our IPs, so it autoconnects the VPN to the specified name on the computer certificate, verifies the user by the user security certificate installed, and simply connects. Typically on my home WIFI this all takes 1-3 seconds. Once the user is connected, it's like sitting at their desk in the office. It doesn't fail. If there's a problem, it's always been the location's WIFI or the user security certificate expired.

We've used it every day for almost the last two years, we are happy.

There are multiple reasons for giving a good rating. First and foremost the Cisco name is the brand that is synonymous with safe, secure, and reliable access. Second is the ease of setup and use of Cisco AnyConnect. Third provides the configuration options. Maintenance is very easy along with Cisco support.

Very easy to deploy ~ install and operate. Biron had to upgrade Microsoft user licenses to enable functionality.

Cisco AnyConnect has solved a big issue that we faced when Covid started and that was to support our remote workers. By using Anyconnect we rarely get any loss of connection and work efficiency has increased by a significant margin. It has also provided an extra layer of security. Overall we are very happy with the usage of AnyConnect and would recommend it to businesses and consumers alike.

It is fairly easy to set up, easy for users to install, and a well-made product that integrates well with other products. We have used it for several years and are well established; most of our users find it intuitive. As the product has matured, we have noticed that the product is more stable, has a better GUI, and has fewer bugs.

From the user perspective, AnyConnect is very easy to use. Requires only the address of the server with login credentials. Once authenticated, the connection allows seamless connectivity to corporate IT resources and the Internet at large. From the management perspective, AnyConnect is easy to administer with connection profiles and a centrally managed repository of minimum client software level, with an auto-update feature ensuring that clients are in compliance before the connection is allowed.

Configuration is very easy. Installation is very fast. There is little to zero local resource usage. It is easy to use for everyone at our company and is clearly connected or disconnected while running in the notifications tray. This is integrated easily with DUO 2 Factor Authentication, it waits for completion and then promptly completes the connection when authenticated.

It's easy to use for the end user and reliable. They just need to login to their computer and connect to the VPN and they are on the network and have access to network resources. For the admins, it does take some time to configure things correctly but, once configured, it's quite easy to manage connection profiles and client software.

The end-user experience, especially with users who are not very tech-savvy and are used to directly accessing their applications, is very good with Cisco AnyConnect. They connect to the VPN only by entering their credentials, and then they can access the applications they work with. Leaving the tool running in the background without even noticing its presence, which is ultimately desirable in a tool of this type. The two qualities that are desired from the end-user are transparency and simplicity, and from the management perspective, control and security. In both cases, the Cisco AnyConnect tool meets those goals. Maybe a portable version could have been developed to make the end user's experience even easier.

The usability of the product is top notch. To this day I have not even needed to go into settings menu of the application ( other than the time when I was wondering what is actually there lol), because it works so well I haven't felt any need to check if my settings are wrong.

The truth is one of the easiest Cisco tools to use. For the end user, it is quite simple since they only have to enter the address where they want to connect, enter their username and password, and that's it. In addition, more security functions such as integration with DUO can be included

It is useful when we need to access those networks with different platforms because it has support to all of the majors operating systems, and all of them have a pretty similar UI/UX, which turns to be intuitive in all of them. Personally, I've already tested on iOS, Android, Windows Phone (a long time ago, but it had support), Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Cisco AnyConnect is easy to use by a naive user without any training needs. The multi-factor authentication allows you to receive an OTP password on Microsoft Authenticator APP, SMS, or email, so it is easy to configure. It provides a secure, reliable, and stable data connection and can be disconnected/disabled easily when not in use.

It is the best in terms of overall usability. It does not require any formal training in how to use or to spend countless hours reading through user manuals in learning the platform. For the most part, it has worked well for us for many years and customers are able to connect to it fast.

As mentioned before, [Cisco] AnyConnect is easy enough to use once it's deployed. Click the icon, ensure the right cert is selected, user name, password, and you're done - very much a point and shoot service.

[I believe I was] constantly disconnected from home or the office. [I feel like the] connection is volatile and unstable. [In my experience,] it prevents me from working, from participating in meetings, etc... [I feel like] sometimes it takes me 5-6 minutes till I am reconnected and back to the meeting because it is not able to reconnect automatically and quickly get an IP-Address from the DHCP of the router.

It's a great application that can take some fine-tuning to get set up, but once you get it set up, it works relatively well. My only serious complaint about usability is the slow connection at times that makes my statistical analyses take 10x longer than they normally would.

It is the easiest and cleanest VPN client that I have used. I actively try to avoid any other VPN client because of how reliable, fast, and easy to use the Cisco AnyConnect VPN client truly is. It is not intrusive to the OS, nor the network settings. It is reliable and even capable of staying connected for days at a time. It is simply one of the best VPN clients available today.

Cisco AnyConnect does everything that you could require a great VPN client to do.

It's very easy to use once it's configured. It does only one thing for the user, but it does it well.

It is most stellar in terms of overall usability. It really doesn't require users to have to take any kind of formal training in how to use or to spend countless hours reading through user manuals in learning the platform. For the most part, it has worked well, with very few problems when users are using the software.
