Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Secure Firewall

I don't have it for one customer. I had a scenario with a customer that only wanted to use FDM and we have to build it by hand at that time there were no tools to help with that and also used postman scripts to configure it.
  • Be a next gen firewall
  • Layer 7 firewall
  • Nice dashboard
  • Context firewalling like asa
  • Be more simple it its layout
  • Take all the good things form the asa
  • Finish the product so there is no need for making use of postman
  • one customer i use 2 month to get it to work well vs asa 1 week max
  • nice next gen features fx malware and umbrilla integration
  • unstable software from time to time
the firepower 1010 is really good to ophold 1 gig connection
Always nice to get help from support.
They work pretty well, as I see I had some trouble getting the certificate to work and getting it in the system right.
Miss that we can download software from a website so the computer could get the VPN.
