Cisco Firepower 4100 Series
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.

- Without mentioning an alternative brand, there is another leading company who has updated with firewall UI quite a bit. They offer an expanded line-up to meet a wider array of needs including specific appliances for web caching, proxy servers, and other products that have the same and familiar UI across the products. Each of the products does have some overlap so that customers can choose the right appliance for their use case.
- After being acquired by Sophos, we saw our year-over-year costs escalate significantly since our original maintenance contract. They should consider revisiting the pricing, especially for education.
- They should consider a current market analysis and see how the market is changing and adapting with other lower cost appliances for their product line up.

Cyberoam
At the time Fortinet wasn't open to changes and ease of use for our type of use case. Since then, the company has come a long way with ease of use of their product. We selected Cyberoam because of its UI and ease of use specifically for CIPA compliance for K-12

Return on Investment
Cisco Firepower 4100 Series
- Positive impact would be our increased security network wide.
- Another positive would be the increased processing power, saving us time and [from] needing more equipment.
- A negative impact would be the increased need for having to learn a new interface.
