Cisco Secure Client-AnyConnect Customer Insights

1. Eventually worksWorks fine in the desktop version, but when trying to use the app on a mobile device, the wifi does not work when the VPN is connected, the settings tab inside the app doesn't seem to have a configuration to enable LAN access which is the only possible solution I found when searching for the problem.

2. The Android AnyConnect client only allowing for 1 profile XML to be stored at a time is prohibiting me from doing that, because it subsequently won't remember all of the addresses I need it to since connecting to any of them download their reapective profiles, which overwrites the previous one.I get csrf verification failed using sso against azure ad.

3. Certificate verification failed, although at the same time it works fine on Apple mobile devices.

4. Our managed services supplier actually suggested we setup a new apn everytime we connect on android which is ridiculous, it's easier to disconnect everytime you want to use the outside internetPainful experience.

5. Works fine on the desktop apps, but the Android app is useless.I force stop this app everyday.

6. Logging for diagnostics has nothing helpful at all as to why a connection is failing with no changes on VPN service or client settings, which again, you cannot edit or verify them.The functionality is good overall.

7. This should be fixed in order to prevent battery drainage.Most of my company's contracts use Cisco gear, and I need to be able to VPN into their environments.

8. for a while now, I think since the latest update, the cisco symbol keeps popping up in my notification bar and then disappearing a second later, while I am not connected or using the app.

9. Not sure what to do, would love some better app documentation, everything I found was desktop related.Can no longer edit existing profiles.

10. It doesn't support split tunneling on Android 8 or newer... Literally no one wants to use this app.

11. I will wait upgrade with solution.don't work over wifi anymore.
