Spectacular product to protect you at home or office! Ease of use and support too!
- Easy of use and training
- Support is readily available
- Deployment is quick
- Lightweight with big power behind it
- When searching through some menus there are times where a search bar could be implemented to assist.
- VPN log files are cumbersome. Streamlining those when getting into details of 1 site to site is difficult but overall not a deal-breaker.

- My organization is all Cisco and wants to stay in the Cisco life cycle, Firepower 1000 series is great for small to medium-size office.
- Very robust enterprise-grade security solution with updated threat features to handle any current and upcoming threats. The solution is backed by Cisco to ensure constant security updates. Integrated AnyConnect remote client VPN is a big plus to allow for secure remote workers access. Easier to set up a site to site VPN due to the large user base and case studies published on integrating to other manufacturer solutions.
- We have a few remote sites that connect via a metro-E link that needed a way back to the network via a more secure route than we were using before. Using the Cisco Firepower 1120 and 1140 we were able to successfully get those sites back onto the network over a VPN link with a much better/safer protocol and connection type.
- We user the Cisco Firepower 1120 in a variety of use cases across our division. We typically use it in a high-availability configuration, both in the same room together and separated via some distance. The Cisco Firepower 1000 Series has been a nice upgrade from our previous models of Cisco Firewalls.

Cisco Firepower Appliances
- Secure employee remote access in conjunction with AnyConnect client
- Logging with high level of connection, application and user visibility
- Reliable and secure as you would expect from Cisco

Firepower from a multi-vendor MSSP engineer's perspective
- Network segmentation by zones--allows trusted traffic to pass inspected or uninspected while non-trusted traffic is always inspected.
- Scalable management--many different types of policies are available within Cisco Firepower 1000 Series management to ensure proper access, authorization, inspection, and threat response.
- Redundancy--Cisco Firepower 1000 Series devices can be set up in High Availability in the event there are issues with one member.
- Compatibility--Cisco Firepower 1000 Series devices can be used in tandem easily with other Cisco products or in a vendor-arbitrary environment.
- Software bugs--Often bugs are encountered that may provide a threat to the network if exploited.
- Log retention is often sub-par if not used with an external log management system.
- Many upgrade failures are encountered with Cisco Firepower 1000 Series devices.
