Overall Satisfaction with Cisco ASA
We use Cisco ASA as our Premise firewall solution. We also take advantage of inter company VPN tunnels between Cisco ASA devices between our locations across the globe. The greatest thing about standardizing on the ASA platform is the ease of use and the ability for each site to offer support to each other remotely. We use the AnyConnect VPN Client to extend our LAN to authorized users across the web. With the intrusion detection we feel a sense of security.
- Cisco has long been the gold standard in premise equipment and the ASA platform delivers that for less gold.
- The Cisco ASA UI and CLI are both simple and robust.
- For what the product is I see little room for improvement.
- Standardizing on the ASA has greatly improved our corporate interconnections.
- Having the same platform at all sites makes support a breeze.
These are similar products but the Cisco had a model for each of our sites. Watchguard at the time of selection did not scale in the way that Cisco ASA did.
