Overall Satisfaction with Cisco ASA

I use Cisco ASA routers in conjunction with Meraki Z1 & Z3 appliances to allow my remote teams to connect to the main office and for those traveling to easily be able to link back to the home network for easy access while on the road.
  • Site-2-site VPN tunnels.
  • Monitoring network traffic using firepower
  • VLANs
  • Better GUI interface
  • More robust trouble shooting tools
  • Clearer licensing agreements
  • We saved time and money on setting up remote offices because we were able to leverage our existing infrastructure with little cost
Better documentation and support available. Reliable of Cisco products is well known. Finding new employees familiar with Cisco products is more common.
I was able to connect my 5545x ASA to my Meraki Z1 & Z3 appliances for dynamic site-to-site von tunnels which allowed my remote field offices to use VoIP phones the same way employees in my main office use them. Simply dialling an extension allowed remote employees in other countries to receive calls as local calls.
