Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Use for our main firewalls and used to segment certain VLANs off further.

Pros and Cons

Single object multi site management.
Multi site deployment

ACLS in gui are PIA cant see object details
Objects in ACLs dont show IP addresses
Have to renames every object to name+ip to make acl GUI useable
Speed to data can use improvement.
Health warnings should allow you to resolve you have to dig n search in some cases.

Return on Investment

It works its a PIA to set but once u do it keeps chugging along.
Reliable code and hardware.

Simplified Administration

We use with FTD so nothing simple we don't use standalone.

Alternatives Considered

Fortinet FortiGate

Fortinet's GUI is much better to work in over FTD hardware comparable to FTD.

Forced GUI mode makes using the product at least 3 times slower than normal deployment is easily 100 times slower than old ASA vs current FTD. Save deploys ok. That's how many times u click to deploy a change now wait 5 min for change to hopefully work config rollback is not a rollback its a wipe n restore INSANE. You got a 2 because of single object multi-site deployment otherwise it would be a Fortinet recommend.

FTD makes these hard to love...
