Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Firepower NGFW (formerly Sourcefire)
Now using Cisco NGFW (with built-in SourceFire) as a replacement for older hardware that didn't have the source fire stuff built in. I must say that it does make most of our issues go away from the old system, such as having to use different interfaces to control both, and policies that had to be done twice. The FirePower NGFW is much faster as well, which was an issue with the old equipment.
- Its very fast
- Cisco products are generally very stable.
- Cisco is on top of bug fixes.
- You get well built hardware at this price point.
- Compatibility with most 3rd party equipment.
- Some strange design choices in the interface (could be related to merging 2 platforms).
- Top dollar price.
- Licensing always seem to be a big issue with Cisco products, this one is no exception!
- It has saved us hours of duplicating config creation.
- In the long run it costs less than both an ASA and FirePower on their own.
- Less headaches when dealing with multiple devices versus a single all in one.
