Overall Satisfaction with Cisco ASA

We are using Cisco ASA for routing & nating in our environment & also for accessing remote office locations via the remote VPN feature. We are also using it for the implementation of VLANs in our organization & specified traffic over it. We are using it across all the departments & the best part of this firewall is easy to configure & packet flow is easy to understand.
  • High availability
  • Stateful inspection
  • Remote VPN
  • Customizable Nating
  • Layer 7 security is missing
  • Lots of issues with policies based routing
  • Best in class Technical Support
  • Easy to configure & Web Console GUI is good
  • Easy documentation
  • Cost effective
We were using [pfSense] before in our environment but we regularly facing difficulties over it due to software bugs & downtime. After implementing Cisco ASA, it resolved our availability issue & provides us a reliable solution with the best security features & easy to understand GUI.
