Overall Satisfaction with Cisco ASA 5500-X with FirePOWER Services

Cisco ASA 5500-X with FirePOWER Services is the true next generation introduced by Cisco. It fulfills layer 7 security and lots of security features to prevent any kind of attacks in your organization. they are offering advanced malware protection, advanced intrusion prevention and content filtering. I updated my Cisco ASA 5500-X with FirePOWER in my organization.
  • Capable to provide advanced malware protection
  • Amazing technical support
  • Advanced IPS/IDS
  • Easy to deploy
  • Issues with URL filtering sometime fall in wrong category
  • Application control features not available
  • Technical support and documentation really good
  • A very good product in Normal budget
  • CISCO AMP
For advanced malware protection, I am using cisco AMP which is very useful to secure my network from bad actors. By using this I am able to manage my network and end-user. It gives me alerts so that I can control bad things easily.
Performance is quite good for VPN, routing. Sometimes you will face issues with URL filtering otherwise all features in such a budget really best.
Cisco customer support really best, they are providing 24*7 support and their SLA is the best SLA to satisfy their client.
I used pfSense open-source tool in which technical support and documentation is not available like Cisco ASA 5500-X with FirePOWER Services firewall. so I choose ASA just because this version of cisco ASA is really offering new advanced-level security in the normal budget for my organization.
If you have a medium or SBS company and you want to deeply secure your infrastructure on a normal budget then you can go with Cisco ASA 5500-X with FirePOWER Services firewall.
