- It works in more places than IPSec - mostly hotels with dodgy firewalls.

- Its easier to configure for the user. Send them to a URL, enter username 
and password, client downloads, installs, configures itself.

- I'm not 100% keen on the Mac client. Its clunky and obtrusive. Apple 
only just got around to including IPSec under Snow Leopard, and have had 
it on the iPhone for ages. But getting the Apples of the world to include 
Cisco SSL? By then we'll have yet another VPN technology. The Windows 
client is a bit better.

- Modifying VPN filter lists using the IPSec client on the ASA was 
instant. Anyconnect/SSL requires a reconnect for access-list changes to 
apply.
