I installed this software and connected to my CISCO ASA's no time at all. Just ensure you have the proper licensing on your ASA and you should be good to go. While many people seem to leave negative reviews for this software, I have to believe they're either non-technical in nature, or simply do not understand what is needed to make this application work.

Since my phone has a big Samsung stamp on the back I would assume that this would work, but sadly I get a -8 error which means my device is not supported.

At our University, the Campus IT group uses a Cisco VPN setup that requires the Group/Secret combination. Without this, we have no way to connect Android devices. I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, and am hoping this will be a viable option for some of our staff that is in the field. But will need VPN to work in some cases. Will rate 3 for now in hopes that it will have this added functionality soon!

Though the site says the app is compatible with Nexus S, it is not installing even after updating to OS 2.3.6. "Unknown error code during application install:"-8" "
