Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client Other Advice

Greg Dend - PeerSpot reviewer
Information security manager at MTN

To manage resource congestion on Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client, it's important to implement a time-based connectivity system. If a user is connected but not actively using the platform, they should be disconnected after a certain time to free up resources for others. This approach is essential because the platform's resources are limited, and we can't afford one user collectively using them. Also, consider employing a two-factor authentication system for security reasons.

I would rate Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client a 10 out of 10.

VPN is out of date. People are now more aware of and interested in Zero Trust Network. With Zero Trust Network, I have reviewed Palo Alto and Cisco, and I must admit that Cisco's products are lacking.

AnyConnect version and flavor offered by Cisco are inadequate. Therefore, sometime between now and next year, we'll probably migrate to Palo Alto for Zero Trust Network and do away with the use of VPN completely.

I would rate Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client a seven out of ten.

I rate Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client nine out of 10. I don't award it 10 points because I am forced to manually reconnect once or twice weekly, and it takes some time to realize why the network I can't connect to the office sites. It creates panic in situations when we might be in a crucial meeting and suddenly the required tool doesn't work because it's not connected to the VPN.

The product improves my company's remote work security because it has lots of security options. We have all the logs of what others are accessing while also having details like where they are accessing, which IP addresses they are using, and from which country they are operating, so we know everything about the users.

The product supports MFA during the tool's deployment in our company. My company has an OTP-based MFA.

I like the support that the tool provides for the devices, which are meant for routing and switching purposes mostly. The tool is very pretty good when it comes to the security part. The tool is truly into the network and security parts.

The VPN capabilities of the product have enhanced certain capabilities in our company since it allows us to track everything related to the outside world. Anyone from the outside cannot directly access our company's environment. The VPN capabilities of the product ensure that there are fewer chances of attacks on our environment.

The network visibility provided by Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client is good. Ultimately, the tool's algorithms for the network, along with the calculation part, are good. Cisco's products and support are good. The tool is user-friendly enough for people to understand it very well.

The product generally offers good support to its users. If anyone gets stuck with the product, then they can use Google to find the solution to the issue and use some of the information for survival purposes in a particular environment. If you just Google about Cisco devices, you can get a lot of information. The product is also easy to implement.

Speaking about how I assess the impact of Cisco on your company's network performance, I would say that the product provides us with details, and the time when we click on the client or the application of the solution that is installed in our environment, it gives details in its logs like how much GB of data is being downloaded and where all the company's systems are connected along with the connection area. Even the details of the IP with which the company's systems are connected are given in the solution.

I rate the tool an eight out of ten.

Security Consultant at T-Mobile Czech Republic a.s.

I'm currently using Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client, in particular, just for standard installation on workstations in my company.

In terms of the version of the solution I'm using, it's version 4.9, but I don't have any influence on which version of Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client to use because it's centrally installed in the company via the system management center, but I suppose it's been updated.

My company has about three thousand five hundred users of Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client. Almost everybody uses it to work from home, for example, developers, security consultants, etc. My company is a telecommunication and IT company, so just about everybody works with computers, works from home, and needs Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client.

The solution is maintained by the central end-user support team, particularly two or three people.

Currently, there's no plan to increase the usage of the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client because my company has been reorganizing and letting go of some positions, and this means there's no need to increase the number of users of the solution.

I would recommend the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client to others looking into implementing it because, in my experience, it works very well and seems to be stable. I have no problems with the product. The Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client is easy to use, so I'm recommending it to others.

I'm rating the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client ten out of ten.

My company is not a partner of Cisco. My company is a customer and doesn't sell the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client to customers.

We're a customer and end-user.

I'd recommend the product. It's quite secure, and Cisco provides good services. If you need to connect on a regular basis to your organization, AnyCOnnect is quite useful. The VPN on AnyConnect is easily modified. Nobody will be able to look into your system if you are using AnyConnect. It's better than any free options on the market.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten. The current technology is very good.

We recently updated the solution maybe three months ago. We are on the newest version. 

It's a good solution. That said, considering the current market, it's a bit more costly than other solutions.

I'd rate the solution seven out of ten. I'd rate it higher if the implementation was easier and the cost was lower.

We tend to use the latest version that we have on our server. It may not be the latest in the market, however, our engineering team chooses the best software for our service, so it's the latest on our server. The difference is that it may not be the latest in the market.

Navin Jacob - PeerSpot reviewer
CTO at a tech services company with 5,001-10,000 employees

I'm an end-user.

I'm not sure of which version number we are on. However, we do keep the solution up-to-date. 

Originally, we had done it on-prem. Now, we have deployed it on the Microsoft Azure Cloud.

Almost all the custom companies that I'm working with are currently using Cisco AnyConnect. These are tier one products used in military-grade environments.

I'd rate the solution around an eight out of ten. Since I started using Cisco AnyConnect maybe five years back, it's been pretty stable. 

I'd advise potential users to use it with multi-factor authentication. Just in a business environment, if you don't set it up with multi-factor authentication, it can tend to be misused. Originally, a few years back, I would see situations where multiple people were using the same VPN and sharing IDs. In the current way of work, way of configuration, it configures to your Microsoft View and actually does authentication to ensure it's a unique user. As a business with security needs, I would recommend to an organization ensures there is no VPN or ID sharing.

Senior Information Technology Manager at a outsourcing company with 10,001+ employees

Although I don't know the exact version number, we are on the latest iteration of the product.

We are Cisco partners.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

I would suggest that potential new users make sure that whatever is allowed into the infrastructure and network is configured by their network operation center. This should be in line with the requirements of the company or the client since cyber security is super important nowadays. You cannot afford to have a data breach. This is important especially if employees or users are tech-savvy. There could be leakage if they know how to go back and tweak the settings.

It is also important to run some tests. That is what I always do. Don't go to the real alderman directly. Make your own tests.

I rate AnyConnect nine out of 10. I wouldn't say that it's perfect because I'm not trying to gush too much about the product, but I think it accomplishes its goal. However, there is always space for improvement, so that's what I give it a nine. I'm not sure what it would take to get it to 10, but I recommend it for security. AnyConnect provides a secure connection to your corporate resources. It's secure and simple to deploy. I think it's a very simple product. It does not need too many features because it can initiate the VPN, scan the system, enable ROM security, etc.
