Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Firepower 1000 Series
We currently use a Cisco FirePower 1140 to segment networks to keep critical components safe. It is used by our plant and managed by IT. It provides protection from any unwanted traffic going from our business network to our manufacturing network. I chose the firepower for its ease of use and configuration.
- Low learning curve--I was able to jump in and learn the interface in no time.
- Easy to set up--it was racked and running with rules within an hour.
- Only shows some traffic, but that may be my limited knowledge.
- Doesn't make coffee.
- It has been positive. The cost of us being down because of an attack or infection far outweighs the price of the unit. It was a good purchase for the peace of mind of knowing we are protected.
Again, by knowing if an attack happens to our business network our manufacturing network will still be safe.
The Cisco Firepower 1140 hit the sweet spot between performance and price. Also, I am more familiar with Cisco products so I wanted to stay on that side. We looked at the Firepower 2110, but thought the 1140 was a better fit for our needs.
