Overall Satisfaction with Cisco AnyConnect

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
  • Reduce security concerns
  • Help to keep confidential information safe
  • Check Point Endpoint Security (Sandblast Agent), VMware ESXi, Juniper Advanced Threat Prevention (JATP) and formerly cyphort
Cisco AnyConnect was the only option for our company due to its robustness through the years, and the provided services for issue resolution and the support in general. I have used Betternet, Eset, and some other VPN clients as well, but not for enterprise level. I know the various listed options; however, I don't have enough information to make a comparison. I am happy with AnyConnect and have not had any issues so far. With its reliability and integrity with authorization tools, it comes forward as a better choice. Their good customer support also should not be forgotten.
I personally did not encounter major issues, only a few occurred while having low-speed connection; or when attempting to connect. Whenever I contacted IT or online help, the service provider had a quick return. Therefore, I'm happy about the robustness and the support when required.

RSA SecurID Suite, Citrix Virtual Apps (formerly XenApp)
Well, the first thing to mention about Cisco AnyConnect is that it's a reliable enterprise-level solution for the users. If you have done your registration correctly and your code for 2-step authorization is correct, then probably you will not face issues--at least most of the time. I only had some connection issues a couple times, and those times I had a low-speed internet connection, which was not a Cisco AnyConnect issue. It is a tiny tool with a simple interface and gets you connected in the most secure way. Integration with multi-step authorization software such as RSA is good. I can track the connection status from the small icon in the control center. I would prefer Cisco AnyConnect to alert me when connection problems are encountered, which is not the case. In total, Cisco AnyConnect is a trusted solution partner for me as a software.
