Cisco Anyconnect Secure Mobility Client

What do you like best?

It is a stable client mostly. It doesn't crash or get stuck while running.

It also remembers previous choices decently well. For example, you don't have to choose the region to connect with every time.

What do you dislike?

The client is very-very slow to start up

Often loses connectivity to specific domains

Loose integration with 2-factor authentication. e.g., one needs to type 'push' to get a push notification. An ideal VPN client would run in the background, with no intervention necessary. This one is far from it. It pops up once every few hours and needs reconnection.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

I am not aware of other products available for this other than the Juniper Pulse secure client. This one is a little more preferable to Pulse.

One thing that will make using this a lot better will be integrating 2-factor authentication better. Currently, one has to type push to get a push notification. It would be better if that were not necessary, and one could configure it always to send a push notification.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

It is a client to connect to corporate virtual private networks. I have been using it on a mac, and find it to be stable for use mostly. It seems to be slightly better than the Juniper Pulse client, but not by a lot.
