Cisco Secure Client Reviews

Using CiscoSecureClient for work, but since my upgrade to iOS 14 CiscoSecureClient began to block my internet connection. I’m at home, connected to WiFi and connected to anyconnect. I need to walk my dog outside, I take my phone go out, WiFi connection is dropped, LTE is in place - no connection to the internet as well as to my corporate resources (everything was fine on iOS 13, flawless reconnection from/to WiFi <-> mobile network). Now I need to disconnect from my corp gateway (and I’m online again), I connect to corp gateway (enter credentials, second factor etc., more time) and then everything works until I get to WiFi zone, where my phone connects to the hotspot and I’m offline again until I disconnect Cisco.
Same stuff happens in the office now: I go from the corridor to elevator, WiFi drops, LTE lives and I’m offline.

Can’t use CiscoSecureClient now as I need to disconnect and reconnect manually now.

At least once daily, at a random time of day, the VPN will connect automatically and with no notification that it has done so. The little VPN logo just pops up on the top left all of a sudden. Considering a VPN routes all traffic through Cisco's network, this is an unacceptable privacy invasion. Also annoying bc there are random websites like 9to5mac that are blocked by Cisco and before I realized what was happening, was confused as to why it wasn't loading suddenly. The only way to prevent this is to delete CiscoSecureClient between uses and reinstall. Before using the VPN for the first time each install, it won't auto connect so I basically avoid CiscoSecureClient like the plague.

I do work at Cisco and yes it does. Something is turning it on without me opening any Cisco apps including any connections so this is because of Cisco not another IT department

I love Cisco and i use CiscoSecureClient for a long time but its really annoying that i have to enter password every time manually and it cant save it. even When the screen turned off, after i turn it on again i have to re-login and enter the password again I Don't know why they don't add such as this option

With the server side workaround, AnyConnect now works on iOS 11.2, so I'm revising my rating from 1 to 5 stars.

Previous review: The VPN client will fail to establish a connection if running on a device with cellular and Wi-Fi both enabled. I reported this bug months ago but nobody has fixed it yet. Workaround is to disable cellular then you will be able to establish a VPN connection over Wi-Fi. If you want to establish a VPN connection over cellular, you will need to disable Wi-Fi.

I have CiscoSecureClient through my school and use it while I’m abroad in China. Works pretty well but it’s finicky when it comes to the way you access the school’s VPN. It’s worked in the past but this summer CiscoSecureClient seems different. My school has a “General Access” option and a “Library Resource” option for VPN, but this iOS app doesn’t allow me to switch between the two and so I’ve been unable to use CiscoSecureClient . I hope the developers resolve this in the future, but for now, this VPN is almost useless.

Never really had a problem with it. Always works when I need it to. That said 1 thing I would like to see is when I use an iPhone I can’t save the password to one click sign in. I always have to write the password every time. Other than that I really can’t say anything bad about it. Definitely a great app!

Using CiscoSecureClient on deferent platforms for years. It’s just GREAT.
I would rate it 5 star if there was a way to save passwords or use fingerprint instead. It’s frustrating to manually type it every time, especially for those who use it frequently.

A gadget for toggling the connection would be awesome as well.

When i open accounts and password and try to make my phone remember the password to CiscoSecureClient there is a blank field that i need to fill and it says website and if I don’t fill it the process won’t be done actually I want the phone to remember the pass for CiscoSecureClient not any website I really don’t know what to do

I enjoy using this fast and easy , with no speed drop absolutely lovely , however there is this one thing that bothers CiscoSecureClient is not remembering password for my connection or i better say for any connection and that is kinda painful everytime you have to type a password ☹️

CiscoSecureClient works perfectly but I wish it could save my password so I didn’t have to enter my password everytime. So please consider this issue in your future updates.

All was fine and working like a charm but since I have upgraded to iOS 14 my connections get slower after like 15 minutes and my internet gets so slow I can’t do anything, I need to reconnect so I can use it again, I have several servers and this happens for all.

Hi there,
I would like to know that if this company plans to update CiscoSecureClient to be able to use it on Mac.
This is a great app, but I think that will help a lot if we can use in our Macs too.

My problem is that why your app can’t save my vpn account password it’s really hard for me and more for my father to enter the password every time that we want to connect to vpn is it really hard for you to set some settings that could enable password save ?
Please do it.

CiscoSecureClient used to work really good. Fast speed and stable network. But recently, I don’t know why it works really really slow, I can hardly open the google search page. What should I do?

Fast and stable connection and that’s just enough.
Thank you.
But it’s needed a remember password option to make using it easier.

I am keep on getting below error message on all my apple devices since last few months and not able to connect. However, all windows devices are working fine. VPN Firewall is ASA-5510

“AnyConnect cannot confirm it is connected to your secure gateway. The local network may not be trustworthy. Please try another network”.

Latest version work great and fixes network connectivity in airplane mode issue of previous version.

It walks on my mind that I should type my password in each try

Missing very simple basic features such as saving passwords. You can't have multiple usernames being saved. I'm frustrated by copy pasting credentials from other places to CiscoSecureClient. It's like a year people are asking for this but it seems like cisco employees get their salaries to tell you to call your network administrator. This is 90 percent of the responses to any feature request.

The last two days the connection just keeps hanging on connecting. I tried closing and reopening CiscoSecureClient and still the same issue occurs. I wish I got an error message or something so I knew what was going wrong. I had to uninstall and reinstall CiscoSecureClient to get it working again.

Hi this is a great program. It's just the fault. For each connection you need to enter your account password and it's boring.

Latest version work great and fixes network connectivity in airplane mode issue of previous version.

i did a ssl vpn on ASA with anyconnect deploying to remote users. those users work just fine but when i’m trying to use CiscoSecureClient for my phone, i get debugs on my ASA saying CiscoSecureClient doesn’t have a valid license?????????? all user authentication works...i wanted to use CiscoSecureClient for mobile phones instead of built in IPsec.

Five stars because the watch experience has improved, thank you for your hard work!

Can I change my location on any country or is just united state only , because I would love to change the location to other countries as well

I have been using the software for one day, and so far it has two issues that make it harder to work: first, when the screen is turned off, the VPN is disconnected
Secondly, for each connection, a password must be entered, which is very time consuming

CiscoSecureClient works good as a vpn but!!!!!
You must connect every short while, every lost connection, every time working with phone and diming it, and you must type the password every time! This is dumb
(And i know it is your privacy)

Really? With each update all my information is lost and I need to contact my IT department to set it up again.
I'll see if they suggest any better connection service..

Update.. I only clicked the update, never uninstalled, and reinstalled. So, I still do not know why the update wiped out my data.
