Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Secure Connect

We are a system integrator and we propose Cisco Secure Connect to our customers, not all the customers fit this solution, the best cases are for those company which has several sites around the world and require a central control of security policies for the traffic between a private dc and the branches or to manage the security policies for those mobile users or hybrid users that a day are in the office and another are working from home. This solution provides a central management of user Web filtering in context like home or office, remote access, SD-WAN control of the sites and resilience in the cloud, optimize the traffic by enabling the remote access from the Cisco Secure Connect pops around the world hence users can get access to the applications from the closer available point of access

Cons

  • Presence or Deal with ISP Partners in China

because in continuity with the simplicity philosophy of Cisco Meraki, It kept the same approch with the Cisco Secure Connect and the plus is still the possibility to manage It on the same dashboard used to manage, lan, wifi and firewalls. Customer used to manage Meraki will find the same user experience
