Overall Satisfaction with Cisco ASA

As per my knowledge and experience, Cisco ASA is best for VPN, routing, and nating. they provide you basic security. I am working on ASA 5525 for the last 2 years and using it for the site-to-site VPN, nat, and routing. If you need deep security then you will have to go with Cisco firepower services because Cisco ASA provides you only till layer 4 security, and a little bit option in layer 7 security.
  • We can use the nat in different ways, you can modify it accordingly.
  • Easy to configure site to site vpn and routing.
  • Helpful and lots of documentation and training videos which helps you to configure and implementation .
  • Very helpful technical support and sla.
  • Easy configuration Through CLI.
  • Easy commands.
  • Bad ASDN. Many times it hangs during the configuration.
  • No security for layer 7.
  • Easy to configure and easy to remember commands will help you in downtime.
  • Highly experienced Technical support guys will help you for configuration and implementation.
  • Less cost.
I don't thin[k] any basic firewall in this budget is better then Cisco ASA. ASA provides you lots of option[s] in vpn, nat and this is very easy to configure. This is not complected firewall. Beginner network also can configure this and handle this. No downtime is main advantage of this firewall.

According to me, this firewall is good option only for those who [have] limited budget, small company and not worry for deep security. With the help of this you can eas[ily] configure, implement and deploy in your existing network. The main advantage of this firewall is no downtime, it will never create any issue.
