I've used the Firepower to a small extent. It's way better. It does up to layer seven. It does a lot more inspection. It does URL filter. It does IPS, it does antibody, it does all the things that the ASA doesn't do.

The ASA led the pack for our use case since we were familiar with it and the ASA (and ASAv) was able to integrated with our environment very easily. We were also able to apply MFA to the ASA with very little effort, further improving our posture. In comparison, other tools were …

Palo Altos blow Cisco ASAs away in terms of form and function. They are next-generation firewalls that have very advanced rule sets and AI to help protect your cooperation; however, they are also about 20 times more than a comparable Cisco ASA firewall.

Fortinet and SonicWall firewalls are not without their own unique merits, but Cisco ASA devices are our go-to devices for all of our clients' firewall needs. We have found creating and keeping VPN tunnels established is much easier on a Cisco ASA device.

Cisco ASA's are great for internal network connected access between a firewall and the central management server. And, for complex networks where high security requirements with overly strict compliance are necessary. For networks with limited connectivity to the core or for poor network connectivity these are not the best solution. There are other more stand-alone firewall's that do this better. These firewall's are a little more complex to set up to start with so significant knowledge of these devices is required to set them up and ensure they are best practice installed.

To be honest there has been now great products out in the market compared to Cisco ASA. I beleieve Cisco has to do a lot of improvement in this area. The other defeiniete factors is the cost when it comes to renewals which is always a premium on Cisco products

I generally have not noticed the outages, however since it's a machine it can malfunction, we need to implement the firewall infrastructure in such a way that it is highly available with device failure, region failure etc. Else any solution will be having the issues if they are not build with resiliency.

The support is usually very good and gets back to you very quickly. However I had some instances of when two engineers will give me wildly different answers to what I thought was a simple question. Overall however I do rate the support highly and they are generally always very good.

It was quite a good one, how ever requires an expertise to deploy hence the SMB segment would be finding it difficult to implement this product. The one good reason is that there are lot of ASA certified engineers in compared to the other certified engineers. Hence this resembles positively on the deployment as you have quite a lot of experienced engineer on your deployment
