Overall Satisfaction with Cisco ASA 5500-X with FirePOWER Services
Cisco ASA 5500-X with FirePOWER Services was deployed to upgrade the Cisco ASA to a next generation firewall. Lots of security features like deep packet scanning, malware protection, threat detection, and prevention were missing in Cisco ASA, so Cisco launched the FirePOWER Services. It provides us with all features that help us to stop any type of cyber attack on our organization. We [have been] using FirePOWER for the last two years and we are using all services for our company.

We were using Cisco ASA but security features were missing so we discussed with Cisco and upgraded with FirePOWER Services. We are using all the features like AMP, IPS, sandbox etc for network security. We have very critical client data so clients want the security for our organization.
