"The solution has good performance."
"Advanced malware protection helps us to prevent any virus from contaminating computers. We also have DLP for prevention. And AnyConnect has a feature that lets us do some sandboxing to evaluate files that arrive from the outside. So before opening them, we can check them with the sandbox."
"The solution is very easy to use and set up."
"The ability to connect to the VPN remotely."
"It's a very scalable solution. We are using the maximum licensing they offer, and it's very affordable given the value."

"The solution is stable and reliable."
"Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client's most valuable feature is the ability to connect to our enterprise applications, on-premise applications, and cloud any place in the world"
"Their split tunneling feature has been very valuable to our company since implementing the Perimeter 81 solution."
"SD-WAN is one of the primary solutions offered by Perimeter 81."
"Perimeter 81 has increased my security and privacy while maintaining solid internet performance."
"The feature that I have found to be most valuable is the reputation that the company has regarding privacy. Nowadays, this is critical, especially when you do all of your work online."
"It is a scalable solution."
"It connects quickly and stays connected. The user interface is pretty neat too. The app has in-house support with user guides that give you step-by-step walkthroughs on navigating the app. In addition, there is a live chat feature that offers prompt assistance on the go."
"It keeps us all accountable and ensures secure internet connections while we all work remotely."
"The ease of use not only translates to quick adoption rates - it also ensures that our employees remain compliant with our cybersecurity protocols, enhancing the overall security posture of our organization."
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."
"When using Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client when my laptop goes into sleep mode the VPN wants me to enter the password again. I should not have to enter the information again. If the laptop is on and it is not switched off, the password should be in the VPN saved and secured."
"In terms of areas for improvement in Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client, from my point of view, the solution works well and right now I don't see the need to improve it. Probably a better user interface could be created for Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client, but its core is VPN creation, and that works well, though I'm not a VPN specialist, and I'm not an expert on how to create a VPN, how the VPN gateway works, how it's implemented, and what's the architecture behind it. A two-factor authentication feature was recently added to the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client. In the past, you only needed to log in with your username and password, but now, there's a token, and the user interface for that token isn't that good. That's another area for improvement. Cisco should also make the two-factor authentication better in the solution. What I'd like added to the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client in its next release is a better two-factor authentication, in particular, the validity of the code being shorter because sometimes when I get the code and I add it to the client, it's invalid, though I'm unsure if it's centrally set up that way or if its a characteristic of the product. Making the interface of the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client more user-friendly is also what I'd like to see in the next release of the solution."
"There is nothing they need to improve at this moment."
"The solution's performance and stability are average."
"Sometimes when you disconnect or switch from one wireless network to another, it's necessary to re-login."
"Every two weeks there was a new version to install which was annoying for the users."
"The support could be more proactive in their recommendations. I noticed that the Cisco support agents tend to leave customers to do what they need to do in many ways, and you can choose how you want to do it. However, it would be great if they could proactively be involved in best practices and let other customers know how most people are doing it."
"The setup is a bit difficult to handle on the server-side."
"Offering in-app explanations detailing what each feature does, its benefits and potential use cases can help users better understand and utilize the tool to its full potential."
"In order to have to bypass the login using the website, a good feature for Perimeter 81 to have is a login instance in the Perimeter 81 application. I'm using a Mac and we don't have that functionality."
"Its initial setup process is complex for a hybrid environment."
"In the future, maybe P81 can improve the network traffic balancing and redundancy."
"The platform still lacks relevant dashboards and the ability to customize them based on our needs."
"Perimeter 81 could enhance its reporting and analytics capabilities to provide more detailed insights into network activity."
"A Google Chrome extension would be handy instead of logging into the app."
"The solution's speed of upload and download is an area where it lacks"
