What differentiates Cisco Secure Firewall from other similar products?
They offer better turnout and additional security than the recent ASAs. We offer website hosting and remote access for clients. Utilizing two incoming lines for dedicated fiber line with SLA and standard coble line for browsing. The Cisco with all the extra port offerings allows us to configure all the things we want.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Very strong enterprise-grade security solution with updated threat options to handle any current and coming threats. The solution is backed by Cisco to make sure of constant security updates. Integrated AnyConnect remote consumer VPN is a massive plus to permit secure remote staff access. Easier to line up a website-to-site VPN because of the big user base and case studies published on integrating different manufacturer solutions.
What do you dislike most about this product?
These devices don’t always make changes without a reboot, which might be arduous during a production device. Cisco isn’t always clear in the way to configure things. Routing options are often confusing, we even had a consultant a little confused over setup. Must upgrade to the higher finish models within the series to feature SFP ports. Racking the smaller units is troublesome because of the reduced size/non-standard racking type.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
It’s great for tiny to mid-size branches to manage loads. One among the most effective Firewalls in the market in this space with all basic options like VPN, IPS adding it with URL Filtering. TALOS is additionally an excellent solution. Moreover, Cisco support is much on top of competitors with instant support and an enormous partner base from that you’ll get facilitated instantly.
