Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Simple to use. Works silently in the background. Reconnects automatically in case of network disruption.
  • We use this for VPN at my work to access certain environments. It is very secure and so far I'm not aware of any hackers gaining access to our critical systems.
  • I love being able to share my screen for troubleshooting or being able to share with others. It helps us all be on the same page.
  • -Easy to use VPN software -Very secure through using authentication software VIP access on mobile -Works reliable in the background
  • The company I used to work for, a very large company with thousands of employees around the world, had us use Cisco AnyConnect to connect to our enterprise networks whenever we were working from home or on a business trip. Our laptops would come pre-installed with the software and it seemed to integrate with the enterprise login system that we used too.

Cons

  • Errors should be more self - explanatory. Support could be faster. Connection time should be more than 12 hours (may be my organization specific policy).
  • It is a little more complicated to use for new users but with a few tries they seem to pick it up well.
  • I have yet to run into any cons. During covid shut down this was the best life line.
  • -Configuration can lead to VPN becoming a internet speed bottleneck -Load balancing needs improvements
  • Sometimes I'd have to log out / disconnect and reconnect again, and there were a few days once in a while when it just wouldn't work for a half hour or so at a time.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • I like how there's three different settings, or at least the way my uni's configured it, there's three settings. There's the split tunnel, where you use your own internet connection for common things (which is great, because all VPNs result in a little slower internet, and there's no point in slowing down, say, your Google searches), the full tunnel which is needed to access university specific stuff at the library, and then a third, 'restricted' connection which I assume is what researchers use.

Cons

  • Installing it was a little confusing, I guess? It's a slight hassle to input my username and password every time I turn on my computer? There's not much to dislike here.
