4.0

Anshuman: Hi, my name is Anshuman, and I'm a security engineer. Today I'm going to review Cisco AnyConnect, and I would like to give it four stars out of five. For more reviews like this, click below. I use Cisco AnyConnect to connect to my company's network while I was working from home. The VPN software, Cisco AnyConnect, allowed me to remotely log in to my company's network and access the resources while I was working from home. Something I really like about Cisco AnyConnect is that it is very easy to use, it's very user friendly, it can be integrated with the active directory, and it also supports multifactor authentication, which makes it secure. Something I don't like about Cisco AnyConnect is that in the initial setup it takes a little more time to connect to the corporate network, but after that it works fine. And second thing I don't like about Cisco AnyConnect is the price. It's a little overpriced, I believe.
