Overall Satisfaction with Cisco ASA

Cisco ASA is a next generation firewall that I have used and managed for almost 2 years. It is robust equipment that is positioned on the edge to protect from virtual attack, and it also makes web content filtering to block access to undue pages from certain sectors in the company. Two units were purchased at each branch.
  • Encryption and security
  • Deep web content filtering and data analysis
  • Antivirus, IPS and anti-spam
  • Support is a little expensive
  • Manuals are only in English
  • Better internal network security.
  • VPN access from anywhere with security.
  • Peace of mind that your data is protected.
We chose Cisco ASA as a highly reliable product. It has been around for many years and I have rarely heard of any hardware issues. The 24x7 warranty and support is amazing and it surprised us positively. In case of any hardware defects, a new appliance will be shipped to us by the next business day.
Top grade for being happy with the product I'm using and managing. I have never had any serious problems with the Cisco ASA. I have nothing to complain about from this Next generation Cisco firewall. It is a great product, reliable, with great performance, and offers excellent support, if the customer needs help.

The Cisco ASA that I managed at my branch office were two ASA 5515-X units. One as main and the other as failover. I put on the edge to make the filter and protect the internal network. In just one appliance, it enables web content filtering, application viewing, Anti-virus, Anti-Spam and IPS services features.
