Overall Satisfaction with Cisco ASA 5500-X with FirePOWER Services
We use the Cisco ASA 5500-X both in our data centers and on our ~300 remote locations as the primary firewall. These devices establish a site-site VPN between the data centers and the customer site and provide firewall security for all users and equipment.
- IPSEC tunneling
- OSI Layer3-7 security
- Protocol inspection on OSI layer 4
- Usage of Snort to detect and prevent intrusions
- ASA software and firepower software are still disjointed
- Been able to deploy the same device to all our branch office
- 1 kind of device means 1 update cycle
We came from the 5505 & 5520 devices, so choosing the 5500-X was a logical choice.
