Cisco ASA Review
Overall Satisfaction with Cisco ASA
Cisco ASA is used internally by our organization's IT department to secure the perimeter edge. We also use Cisco ASA in our lab to do testings of multiple client scenarios. We sell Cisco ASA to customers and implement Cisco ASA as well for customers in a project environment. It addresses network security issues on the perimeter and sometimes even in the data centre, however, Cisco Firepower appliances are more well-suited to this implementation.

When comparing Cisco ASA to other vendors' products we needed to bear in mind that most other security vendors offer a next-gen Firewall solution while the ASA is still a legacy firewall. Based on this, Cisco ASA is by no means a loser here. Cisco ASA is an extremely capable firewall based on the offerings it has and in a legacy firewall shootout is by far the superior firewall.
