Cisco AnyConnect Reviews

Summary: Cisco has all your tools to help your day to day run smoothly when you have a need for computer sharing. I highly recommend to anyone.

Positive: I love being able to share my screen for troubleshooting or being able to share with others. It helps us all be on the same page.

Negative: I have yet to run into any cons. During covid shut down this was the best life line.

Summary: Cisco AnyConnect is simple utility to connect to VPN server while working remotely. As an end user just have to use credentials without doing any configuration.

Positive: Simple to use.
Works silently in the background.
Reconnects automatically in case of network disruption.

Negative: Errors should be more self - explanatory.
Support could be faster.
Connection time should be more than 12 hours (may be my organization specific policy).

Summary: This is a tool used at my job to access a very secure and critical environment. Although it can be a little more involved to utilize, I feel that the level of security it provides is worth it.

Positive: We use this for VPN at my work to access certain environments. It is very secure and so far I'm not aware of any hackers gaining access to our critical systems.

Negative: It is a little more complicated to use for new users but with a few tries they seem to pick it up well.

Summary: AnyConnect is a reliable VPN that is a kind of install and forget software. It ensures secure connectivity. However, not optimizing its configuration can lead to significant impact of internet speed throughput. Also, with lots of users it may take multiple attempts to connect.

Positive: -Easy to use VPN software
-Very secure through using authentication software VIP access on mobile
-Works reliable in the background

Negative: -Configuration can lead to VPN becoming a internet speed bottleneck
-Load balancing needs improvements

Summary: It's Cisco. It works reasonably well most of the time, and big enterprises trust it to play well with other enterprise software, which it does, most of the time.

Positive: The company I used to work for, a very large company with thousands of employees around the world, had us use Cisco AnyConnect to connect to our enterprise networks whenever we were working from home or on a business trip. Our laptops would come pre-installed with the software and it seemed to integrate with the enterprise login system that we used too.

Negative: Sometimes I'd have to log out / disconnect and reconnect again, and there were a few days once in a while when it just wouldn't work for a half hour or so at a time.
