We already saw the Diamond and Omnia in action and you' re free to replay the game here. The Diamond surely has a few things to offer over the Omnia (VGA screen, smaller size, 3D acceleration, and magnetic stylus) but it also has its issues here and there to make it a tough call indeed. We do hope however that this review will bring you a little closer to deciding your allegiance.

The Cisco VPN Client (Mac) is very ugly and I stumbled across this article while looking for an alternative.

I really like Shimo. However, it’s no longer freeware and I can’t justify the cost for my usage which would basically be a nicer front-end for the Cisco VPN Client. It’s a shame there isn’t a “lite” version available just for this client.

Are you maybe interested in beta testing the AnyConnect functionality? Because at the moment I don’t have an AnyConnect gateway by myself, so I cannot test it at all…

I love your app and have used it with CiscoVPN in the past, but can’t figure out how to connect with AnyConnect.

Shimo Version 2 also supports AnyConnect connections besides OpenVPN, IPSec, PPTP, SSH and more…

Just a note, this is only a UI improvement. Any general connectivity issues you may have with current Cisco VPNClient software are unlikely to be solved, since “it uses the CiscoVPN service installed with the client to actually do the connecting”. Probably obvious, but I thought I would just highlight this.

@steve
That’s one of the many things that bugged me about the Cisco VPN client…I hope that Mac users will no longer have to go through that pain…

this would have have been sweet to know a few months ago when I was still in school. I always closed the vpn window and it would exit. Drove me crazy.

@periferral
I know my university does not support AnyConnect, as I tried using that before I discovered Shimo. I’d imagine there are probably many Cisco VPN connections that do not support AnyConnect.

cisco also has a ssl vpn client called anyconnect which can be used to VPN. this has much better osx integration as compared to the cisco vpn client.
anyconnect will show a connected icon in the menu bar as opposed to the dock like the regular vpn client.
however the problem is that anyconnect needs additional support of the headend side and will not work with the existing IPSec VPN configuration.

Thanks for presenting a very nice piece of software. Unbeleivable that is freeware also. I’m using it right now and I have to agree: if you must use cisco vpn then this is a very nice application to have.
