Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Defense Orchestrator
The main issue was a scalable solution to manage our fleet of Cisco firepower threat defense firewalls. They are managed locally and manage via FMC. The Cisco Defense Orchestrator was the most financially likeable option. The price point per firewall was great with most features of the FMC on prem device. There were only a handful of features that were not moved to the cloud.
- Upgrade OS
- Manage changes at scale
- Group like configurations
- Clone configs for other firewalls
- Migrate from on prem to cloud
- FMC in the cloud needs more features like the on prem version
- A way of managing the firewalls both on box and with FMC at the same time
- A way to log local for users not wanting to log all events to the cloud
- Positive ROI with enhanced functionality that FDM doesn't have
- We continue to use it today
We used the on box management platform. This required API usage for automating things. It was not scalable and a lot of features are not there. There are platforms like manage engine, but they are not Cisco FP native and had limitations as well.
