Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Firepower Management Center (FMC series appliances)

At the moment, the Cisco Firepower Management Center team is like our perimeter Firewall. It has given us greater knowledge in terms of applications used and accessed by users, which previously was not possible for us to view. This has allowed us to have greater control over our internet access and also greater vigilance in published accesses.
  • Viewing applications in use by users
  • VPN administration and management
  • Event viewer
  • Obtaining event reports
  • Deploy rules: deployment time should be improved
  • Filters to improve event display
  • the detection of attack attempts and the blocking of them by region
  • the visualization of the reports of these attacks
  • the filtering by applications has given us a lot of value
Being a new generation Firewall, we not only validate the connection between ports, but also the applications used by users or by attackers, which gives us substantial improvement in the security of our computers.

The visualization of established sessions and the detail of the applications that make use of the opened ports are very helpful in defining security rules. The saved settings need to be improved.
