Overall Satisfaction with Cisco ASA

Our Cisco ASA's act as our perimeter gateways for our corporate offices. We also have our two largest sites outside of our headquarters using the devices to connect via a VPN. This allows for access to corporate information housed on storage area networks based in the corporate data centers

Pros

  • Fits into Cisco's ecosystem seamlessly.
  • Advanced features to adapt to today's world.

Cons

  • The GUI could use an update and is clumsy, still, after all this time.
  • Network Access Control integration still needs to be improved.
  • No negatives at this time. The investment is well worth it.
We have looked at other solutions but this was the best fit.
Cisco TAC is not great but there are partners who can take it forward and level it up.
