Cisco AnyConnect Review

PROS: It is a secure VPN service that allows you to connect your device to a remotely secured program. The servers are always available so it's pretty convenient. There's an admin command tool that saves my IP address as well as login credentials so you don't have to enter them every time I log in.

CONS: You need to use token to populate secure codes.

PROS: It’s a secure system that lets you work from anywhere you want. Also, connecting and logging in is pretty straightforward and easy. Overall, it’s a great and dependable app.

CONS: I cannot think of anything bad about this app. And so far, I haven’t had any problems using it.

PROS: First, it let us connect seamlessly to our company network. Second, it does not consume many resources. Third, it is secured. It got a 2-factor authentication. The verification code can be sent via SMS to the respective mobile number.

CONS: In order to complete the 2-factor authentication, you will need a companion APP. The problem with it is that it can drain your mobile device's battery too fast. My colleagues who have tried it have already warned me about it but I didn't listen to them. I still install it despite the warnings and it's one of the wrong decisions I have made in my life.

PROS: It gives you a secure connection, lets you work remotely, and allow you to work more efficiently. Connecting is pretty easy. Just a little configuration and everything is ready. Also, you can install connect tool even without getting more support. It works seamlessly.

CONS: I've been using this service for over a year now and so far everything is great. No issues or bad experience. It meets my requirements.

PROS: It's pretty simple and easy to use. The service automatically starts as soon as I open my device. It also connects automatically. There's no need to login to anything.

CONS: There are times when it's difficult to connect. I was once in a meeting and it took me three tries to connect. It usually happens when I'm not on our home office network.

PROS: I love that it's lightweight. We have Cisco Anyconnect running in 4GB machines and so far we haven't had any problems with it. We've been using this for about 2 years and we never have seen it freeze. The connection is stable. And it provides incredible capabilities. It allows users to import AD credentials to its configuration, eliminating the need to make more accounts just to access the virtual private network.

CONS: I cannot think of anything that can be considered a drawback.

PROS: This VPN client is pretty good. We can access our office networks using the device we have (it supports mobile devices and desktops) even while we're away from our workplace. It is very useful especially when I'm working in the field or at home and needs to access important resources. Also, its user interface is very user-friendly. We preconfigure the setting so we can now re-connect with ease. On top of that, it is very secured. It has a firewall and the connection is encrypted.

CONS: Had problems with connection stability. The connection drops frequently.

PROS: For me, the best things about this product are its Windows support, simplicity, ease of downloading, and 2 step authentication. It also lets you have several different profiles for the Virtual Private Network.

CONS: I sometimes have problems getting the OTP (which is required for logging in). Also, I find the process of setting up the certification for this solution a bit complex for business.

PROS: It implements stringent security measures such as requiring an OTP to login. So even if someone knows your password or ID, if they don’t have the OTP which is sent to your mobile number, they still cannot access your account. It is by far the best way to access or connect to your business’s private web portals.

CONS: Login and internet connectivity problems. Sometimes, you may not be able to log in right after entering your ID, password, and OTP. When this happens, just try again and again until it lets you in.

PROS: It’s secured. We’re able to work with confidential and important client-related information without having to worry about security problems.

CONS: I cannot put my computer to sleep otherwise I’ll be disconnected from our organization’s database, server and tooling and will have to re-connect as well as sign back on to all the apps I was using. But since I also have to take a break from work, I cannot avoid going through all the fuss which is pretty annoying and somehow time-consuming.

PROS: This tool provides many pros including but not limited to the flexible design, ease of use (even those who aren't tech-savvy will more likely find it easy and simple to use), incredible features like the web inspection, and remote access. It is also very secure. Aside from the login credentials, you need an OTP (the system sends this to your mobile phone) in order to log in. Generally, it is reliable, just like any other Cisco product.

CONS: I get disconnected after being in the network for a certain period of time. And it already happened multiple times. But I am not yet sure if this is really a problem with the product or there's just something wrong with my device or account.

PROS: There are many things to love about this solution. First, working remotely becomes easier because there’s no need to worry about safety and security measures. This app is completely secured. Second, it has a One Agent Management feature which lightens the burden of your company’s IT staff by protecting many devices. Last but not least, you can use this app on any device.

CONS: There are two things that I can consider a con: (1) it is quite difficult to set up the platform, and (2) network problems usually result in delays connecting to the service.

PROS: It is light, easy to connect and let us work from anywhere. It's perfect for individuals working from home, deployed away from the location of their company, or just prefer to work outside of their office. It supports mobile devices so you can work while on the go.

CONS: Sometimes, I access this tool on my mobile device and it's quite slow. It would be nice if its performance on handheld devices would be as good as its performance on the desktop.

PROS: Among the VPN services I used, this is by far the best one. It's very easy to use. It automatically connects to your company's internal server. All you have to do is open the platform and press connect.

CONS: None. I haven't had any problem using this tool. It works perfectly for me.

PROS: What I like best about this service is the connection stability. I'm working abroad as a web developer and this tool has helped me stay connected to our company's main server seamlessly for a long time without any problem.

CONS: Every time we lose internet connection on our main server, the IP address changes so the device I'm using gets disconnected. In order to re-connect, the IP address needs to be changed. The problem is, I'm far from our main server so I wasn't able to view the new address.

PROS: A perfect tool to use to connect to a VPN remotely. It eliminates the need to use a device VPN service, lets you download plugins to be used to tailor your VPN experience and make changes during a VPN connection.

CONS: If a VPN is for a Windows Computer, this tool requires users to get an additional plug-in in order on that virtual private network prior to logging in. Some individuals may find the process difficult to navigate and understand.

PROS: Your devices are protected from a byte-sized thread like malware because the platform has robust network security. It has a DNS query protection, keeping you safe from DNS hijacking. Also, it's pretty easy to connect. You can put an FQDN or IP and it will connect to either your external or internal server.

CONS: Because of the Umbrella DNS protection, the internet fails for about thirty seconds after disconnecting the VPN. It's quite frustrating.
