Cisco ASA the best firewall for any scenario
Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software
We use Cisco ASAs in our Datacentre and we deploy these firewalls for our clients, with users mainly working from home, AnyConnect VPN which works with this firewall helps a lot by facilitating a secure remote access connection back to the office. Also, users can [break out] to the internet using [a] secure [VPN] connection when accessing services like O365[.]
- Easy deployment[.]
- High availability by deploying a pair[.]
- Make changes without having to reboot[.]
- Supports firepower services for IPS and IDS[.]
- The ASDM software is at times a nightmare to install because of different java versions[.]
- [The firewall] could do with a power button, just to be able to do a hard reboot when needed[.]
- It would be nice to manage the firewall via the web on port 443[.]
- I know a customer who is still using a Pix[.]
- The 5510 is still being used in one of our setups, and still doing its job this is a lot of Return on Investment.
- We have managed to turn around projects quickly because most of our engineers understand this firewall very well. We deploy them in a matter of minutes[.]
I am a CCNP and will always go with Cisco because they are more affordable than Palo Altos and yet they do the same job and easy to deploy.
