The best thing I like about Cisco AnyConnect is that it is super easy to connect to any private network with just one click. During the pandemic, most of our deployments were in organizations operating remotely. Using private VPNs means that only authenticated users can access internal company websites and applications.
In our organization, it is used to connect to the servers in a secure way. Also, our remote users can access their computers in the office using the VPN Site-to-Client, where it allows you to encrypt and protect your data towards electronic computers when Internet connections are used outside of the corporate network.
This is very safe and secure. This application is lightweight and it doesn't consume much of your computer resources. The good thing is that the software doesn't store your data and there is no need to worry about privacy.
Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client is an excellent tool, easy to configure, and adapted to different devices, such as PCs, phones, tablets, etc., from both the IT administrator and the end user's perspective.
The most valuable feature of Cisco AnyConnect is that you can connect to your organization's VPN network with just one click.
With so many staff working remotely right now, Cisco AnyConnect allows them to VPN into our company's network to access items behind their firewalls. This has allowed staff to stay home safely during the pandemic and to keep the network safer.
The ability to add multiple two-factor authentication options for the user to choose from when they log in has helped increase the security of our network, especially with so many people working remotely.
Using this app, we can manage all of the networks, whether ethernet or wireless.
You can also completely remove some less secure networks from your list so you would not connect them accidentally.
One more thing will be the inbuilt VPN connectivity option. Using it, you can connect to your VPN so there is no need to install a separate application.
The interface is very clean and easy to interact with.
There is an inbuilt diagnostics option that will automatically search for errors or issues in case you are facing any network connectivity problems. It will also give the IP address, strength, and security details about the network that you are currently connected to.
Even when your internet speed is good, once you connect to the VPN the speed gets automatically reduced, which is worrisome.
If there was an autosave password then it would have been much easier to connect.
By default, Cisco AnyConnect does not update to the newest version automatically and you can't change the setting to auto-update unless you are signed into the tool. Our company had stopped allowing an older version to connect, so staff that didn't have the auto-update setting enabled were still on the older version and couldn't sign in to update to the newest version. To fix this, they would have to have their IT support team come out and uninstall the old version then download and install the newest version.
We have been using the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client for three years.
The reliability and user-friendliness of this application are amazing.
This tool is one that I can recommend to large organizations or small businesses.
We did not use a similar solution prior to this one. It was the first one we used and it has worked for the past three years.
Just some research on the product and rolling it out.
During my usage of this application, I did not come across anything that I particularly hate about it. Sometimes, it takes a little longer to connect to a VPN, although I do not know if it's an issue with the application or with the VPN. Since I have faced this issue at times, I thought that I would mention it. Apart from that, there are no complaints.
