Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Firepower 1000 Series
Cisco Firepower is being used across the entire organization. It allows us to monitor traffic in a way that gives us the ability to pick up on specific issues that may arise, including malicious activity. Before, we didn't have any metrics on non-work-related usage, but now we can gauge how much is being used and at what times of the day.
- Metrics. It provides detailed analysis of traffic
- Security. Cisco is releasing security updates constantly.
- Speed. It can handle tons of network traffic to match our speeds.
- Licensing. It's a bit convoluted to license each feature.
- It's a bit confusing where certain things are. Use CMD line if possible.
- Documentation. Tons of documentation, but not always what we're looking for.
- It's expensive to license.
- It's easy to manage.
It's not always easy to configure or self-explanatory, but once everything is configured it's easy to manage. We don't have to make any changes regularly.
The Firepower 1000 Series is definitely a better product both in terms of functionality and speed. Similar product, but much better.
