Pros
"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.""The solution is very stable.""Cisco certainly has a really strong support team.""IOS is user-friendly and simple. You connect to a particular VPN, and that's it. You become seamless after that.""Cisco IOS SSL VPN is reasonably priced, and its technology is flexible.""Cisco IOS SSL VPN is integrated with domain controller, SSO and MFA.""Stability-wise, it is a very good solution.""A reliable and stable solution for remote network access."

"The most valuable feature is the virtual VPN concentrator.""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.""It is a very stable product.""Our customers find it to be an interesting and tempting solution.""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.""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 SpeedFusion feature is the most valuable."

Cons
"It can be difficult to find service and at times we cannot connect with the internet easily.""The product’s dashboard is not good enough.""The administration should be improved.""The solution's configuration could be made easier.""Cisco has a history of problems with the area of web filtering, because of which my company sometimes had to change the vendor and the appliance.""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.""Cisco IOS SSL VPN doesn't support the configuration of multiple VPNs.""I would like for it to have support for the Dutch language. I typically use English in 99% of our communications but for some people, it matters."

"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.""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.""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.""They don't have next generation firewall, UTM, like the other competitors.""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.""The stability has room for improvement."
