We have a startup and this is our first organization. We researched lots of firewalls but the price was very high so we decided to purchase the Cisco ASA. It provides us [a lot] of features at a low cost. Cisco ASA provides us router functionality [as well] so it is easy for us to deploy and configure.

Cisco 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers (ASR 1000)
[Cisco ASA] is the best firewall for small and middle-sized organizations. We have a startup and have a very limited budget for network security so we decided to purchase [the] Cisco ASA firewall. [Cisco ASA] is very easy to configure and manage. Technical support is really good. If you have Cisco ASA then you don't have to purchase the router for your organization. It has all the router functionality.
