Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Firepower 1000 Series
It fills in the gap as Cisco Anyconnect remote access solution.
- Single pane of glass management using FMC
- Great as remote access VPN Solution
- Saves a lot of headaches with URL and FQDN based policies
- It is stable now, and Cisco TAC is great at troubleshooting if any issues occur
- Great product but at this price point there is a lot of competition
- Some implementations maxed out NGIPS throughput and Strained CPU
- It has always been positive experience in recent times with Firepower 1000 series: Customer satisfaction, lesser management overhead and policy enforcement with ISE integration.
Before Firepower 1000 appliance, there were a lot of management overhead and configuration inconsistencies. But now, they are the thing of the past.
[We've used] checkpoint 2200 and 3200 models. Based on the compromises we had to make by not applying the "Optimised" IPS profile and High CPU problems, I would suggest Firepower 1000 but Meraki MX series can take away the spot light from Firepower 1000.
