“Connection Delays and Limited Two-Factor Options Present Challenges for Users”

3.0
Sep 12, 2025
I have a few comments to this product - Connection and re-connection is pretty slow. It interrupts the connection for a couple of seconds. This could be immediate so I can connect to VPN during a meeting. - It doesn't support Yubikey for 2FA.

Cisco Secure Client Likes & Dislikes

Like

I appreciate the ability to use it for Remote Access VPN, the simplified management of the product, and the fact that it also supports the zero trust access methodology. Furthermore, in terms of vendor support, configurability of the tool and user experience the tool is great for enterprise use

Like

It's pretty stable. It works every time.

Like

I would like to highlight the ease with which proper navigation is established. Furthermore, user authentication works correctly and is very user-friendly for users within the company domain. It also functions correctly with the compatibility of the websites used by the institution.

Dislike

Nothing, since it works as expected. as with all such tools, you need to stay up to date with patches, vulnerability fixes etc, which is a must.

Dislike

- It can't be fully automated. I use a script to dial it but it should be supported by default.

Dislike

Occasionally, it may slow down loading times, perhaps due to the user's internet connection, which could indicate a high dependency on it. It may also occasionally consume a lot of resources on the device on which it is being used.

    VPN connection facilitates remote access and policy enforcement within the company

    Feb 3, 2026
    The institution needed software that would allow employees to work remotely from the corporate network. This Cisco tool establishes a VPN connection, enabling proper navigation to internal websites and correct application of policies and access within the domain, even when the user is outside the internal network.
