    Smooth integration with enterprise security; configuring may frustrate non-technical staff

    5.0
    Jul 5, 2026
    On the whole, I find using Cisco Secure Client a pleasant experience. it offers a reliable way to access company's resources from a distance and can easily be integrated into the overall security policies of any business organization. The connection itself is stable and works smoothly on various types of devices and operating systems. However, its setup and configuration may seem rather complicated, especially for those who are not versed in IT issues.

Dislike

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