Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software
Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) is a powerful software that provides routing, network, and virtual private network (VPN) services. Our organization has implemented it, and our clients have IPSec site-to-site VPN. We use VPN tunnels between locations and use Cisco AnyConnect for VPN connections. For preventing unauthorized access to our managed networks, Cisco ASA devices excel. There are many options in Nat to customize it to our needs. Because it helps us categorize traffic and find problems, we're using it in all departments. ASA is a security device that combines firewall, NAT, intrusion prevention, and virtual private network functionality. It is the best for a firewall, router, and VPN device.
- Easy to configure and edit Access rules, allowing users to connect to our office network from anywhere.
- NAT rules and network access protection keep our network safe from unauthorized connections from the outside. We can set them up quickly and easily.
- Customer service and technical assistance are top-notch with Cisco for this product. User web and application traffic can be easily accessed and monitored.
- Infrequent rule/setting changes and an outdated Java plug-in for the Web interface.
- When some appliances and apps don't work, the rules and settings are complex, so GUI-based configuration is not always a better option.
- There is a lack of a learning curve for the full potential of the ASA and Central management features.
- For our company, Cisco's ASA and VPN capabilities were critical to its survival during the pandemic, and without them, we would not have been able to keep up.
- An excellent Web Console GUI and easy-to-follow documentation make it simple to set up and use. In the DMZ, we can quickly set up port forwarding or use a public IP.
- For troubleshooting an issue, I find Packet Tracer or Packet Capture very helpful. With Cisco's excellent support, problems are resolved more quickly, which has a positive effect.
Configuration and management of Cisco's ASA are straightforward. We chose Cisco ASA for many reasons, as well as Cisco's threat response reports. We previously had issues with Sophos UTM due to its poor performance. We no longer have to be concerned about performance issues since the Cisco ASA is superior in every way.
