“Troublesome VPN method”

2.0
Apr 23, 2019
Our company switched to Cisco AnyConnect as our VPN method and I have found that it's slower, harder to use and was not as user friendly as our last client. VPN should be the most streamlined process in a business for anyone who is traveling, working from home or testing from different devices.

When it works and connects, I am able to be on my company's network and do my job. It's the only method to obtain VPN access deemed by corporate IT so there is not much say in trying anything else. We are stuck with this.

Sometimes reconnection occurs even without network interruptions and this may rarely lead to infinite reconnections.

Dislike

I hate that even when this is pre-installed on our PCs, you can have search for it every time, instead of having it be one of the options that launch in your wifi connections. You have to search for it separately and it's slow to load. The connection also doesn't show up in your wifi connections network and you have to bring up the menu UI separately. This isn't integrated well like our former VPN client.

sometimes denies the connectivity despite of correct credentials

    May 1, 2019
    I've utilized the Cisco AnyConnect VPN customer in the course of the most recent 5 years while additionally overseeing AnyConnect customer to-site arrangements on ASAs. Both as a client and director, the item is straight-forward: through a couple of simple and well-reported advances, the VPN design is made leaving the customer to just login by means of the GUI which will give them the proper discharge and form of AnyConnect for their OS. Regardless of whether they're on a Mac, PC, or their cell phone, the procedure and utilization of AnyConnect to get to our corporate system is simple and straightforward for the non-specialized client which implies less time spent educating and investigating. Cons: Around a year prior, I worked with clients and furthermore actually experienced issues following a Windows update. Cisco TAC had the capacity to work with us on changes to the .xml profile and get us ready for action. 99% of the time, the item works fine. On the uncommon event that there are issues, progressively significant mistake messages would help in deciding underlying driver.
