    We previously use Cisco ASA 5500 series but due to those devices are a little old, we changed to Cisco Firepower 4100 Series as more recent product from Cisco. One of the reasons to select Cisco Firepower 4100 Series was the configuration migration availability from ASA to …

    When we are asked by local partners which security equipment we use we always recommend our Cisco security products. The Firepower firewall is no exception and we can easily recommend this to others who need a fast, secure, and well built system that integrates well with all your existing hardware and software.

    It not easy to understand the different features it offers. Sometimes you need to spend a couple of minutes to implement a change or even open a ticket with cisco tac to figure it out. Once support is on the phone with you they know how to resolve problems. But it's not an intuitive tool
