Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Secure Firewall

I have used Cisco Secure Firewall to monitor my network, regulate the network traffic, enforced rules and protect my devices from external cyber threats.

Pros

  • Protect network
  • Secure devices and network from external threats
  • Filter network traffic

Cons

  • Licensing could be more affordable
  • Less clicks to get job done
  • Licensing has become expensive
  • Did not detect threat through email
Advanced security features have been great features to use! URL filtering, malware defense and Unified management are great tools to optimize or secure our network.
Had to call support many times and it has always been fast! Technicians are very knowledgeable and help you with ease with any problems.
Yes, I have used some of these features, and Cisco Secure Firewall makes everything pretty easy to use. Event logging, Threat Detection, intrusion prevention and malware defense are all great features to use to secure our network. Still getting used to using all of them but having technical support around makes everything easier.
Have only used Cisco Secure Firewall because I trust the product and the team that support their devices.
