We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I like to work with the CMD command line because it's easy and it doesn't take very long to configure.""The solution's environment is stable and doesn't get disconnected every now and then.""It's a stable solution.""With Cisco IOS SSL VPN, you can access your corporate data safely and securely.""It helps us access networks from anywhere.""Cisco IOS SSL VPN provides fast connectivity and the option to connect through multiple servers.""The setup and installation was easy.""It is very simple to use, and it allows me to get into the university's network from my home, which is very useful for me."

"It is a very stable product.""The SpeedFusion feature is good. It allowed us to move away from IPsec between the sites. It is also a really easy product to deploy.""The SpeedFusion feature is the most valuable.""Our customers find it to be an interesting and tempting solution.""The valuable feature is that, after reading about its capabilities and using it for a while, Peplink SpeedFusion employs eight technologies within its SD-WAN profile, addressing issues like packet loss and latency. The solution is highly stable. I rate it a nine out of ten. The support team gives quick response and efficient local support.""In the Philippines, VPN usage may not be widely known, but we leverage VPN effectively within my organization. I've shared our in-house systems with other district offices, as I cover fifteen municipalities and cater to the entire province. This platform is a valuable tool for us, enabling collaborative work, and allowing us to update our services remotely.""The most valuable feature is the virtual VPN concentrator."

Cons
"The administration should be improved.""Sometimes the connection drops, and we don't like that. I'm not sure the reason, but sometimes it will take time to connect or it will disconnect fast.""Cisco IOS SSL VPN should add a sensor that can authenticate with a fingerprint instead of having to type the username and password every time.""The performance could be improved.""The product's RPA tools need enhancement for simplified business process automation.""The configuration is critical and complex.""The solution needs to integrate password-less technology so that you don't have to remember passwords each time that you log in, which is otherwise tedious. We should be able to log in as long as our system is connected to the internet.""I would like Cisco IOS SSL VPN to provide a faster connection."

More Cisco IOS SSL VPN Cons →

"Their hardware support isn't the greatest. We've had one unit go down, and it took a while for them to replace it. It was in the Caribbeans, so it might be a location-related issue.""There is room for improvement in enhancing security features, such as incorporating intrusion detection blocking capabilities and integrating artificial intelligence to bolster security aspects on the device.""The stability has room for improvement.""Its pricing is the main issue. The pricing could be improved. I would like to see an outbound policy based on the application. It is a very good feature, and most of the customers are looking for that. They can also include stronger firewall features. This would help the customers in choosing this product as the only device for the SD network.""The product needs to aggregate the bandwidth of different ISPs. It needs to improve scalability as well.""I believe there could be some enhancements in the enterprise segment, offering greater options or something similar.""They don't have next generation firewall, UTM, like the other competitors."
