Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Secure Firewall

Replacing ASAs and implementing new firewall in ICS environment
  • Detailed GUI
  • Easy to manage centrally
  • Configuration
  • Deployment time is slow
  • Failed frequently
  • HA Synchoronization time is slow
  • Licensing management center is pain if number of FTDs are more than 25
  • Easy to configure but take more time to deploy rather than ASA
  • Logging it trash, use separate syslog for better viewing

Do you think Cisco Secure Firewall delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Cisco Secure Firewall's feature set?

Yes

Did Cisco Secure Firewall live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Cisco Secure Firewall go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Cisco Secure Firewall again?

Yes

Suited best for WAN edge and Branch deployment scenario. However managing through FMC sometimes comes with cost if number of FTDs are more than 25. Cisco doesn't have any license between 25 and 300!
