Likelihood to Recommend	Cisco While Cisco Firepower 9300 Series is an enterprise-grade Firewall solution, it might be less suited for businesses with restricted IT budgets. Still, Cisco Firepower 9300 Series meet all cybersecurity and compliance requirements and is the best option available at this moment in my opinion. Incentivized Isabelle Carnel Director Read full review	Palo Alto Networks CloudGenix would be suited for any company that has an internet connection if you have multiple sites you could use this to help with network traffic and what should take precedence over other applications. If you didn't have various sites, you could go with another type of internet connection.CloudGenix may not be suited for that scenario. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review

Support Rating	Cisco No answers on this topic	Palo Alto Networks The support was super fast in the beginning. Sometimes it seems now that the support does not get back to you as quickly. When we do get in contact with the support, they are usually knowledgeable and can help find the problem. The support has also been easy to work with.

Alternatives Considered	Cisco N/A Incentivized Isabelle Carnel Director Read full review	Palo Alto Networks We evaluated Silverpeaks and Cisco. We found that CloudGenics' had a pricing model that met our needs. The sales team we worked with went over our existing environment thoroughly to provide the right size solution without compromising or limiting our technology needs. While the overall solutions form each vendor would have worked, we simply believed CloudGenic was the right fit for our company based on price, sales, support, and functionality.
