Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Secure Firewall

Secure network access at AWS and Remote vpn

Pros

  • Remote vpn
  • network access control
  • software update is easy

Cons

  • better reporting features
  • More customized alerts for Remote VPN stats
  • Secure network edge
  • Provide remote network access for remote workforce
It is easy to adjust the threat prevention policy thru specific CVE search.
It also allows advanced proteciton such as malware and DNS proteciton.
Overall, it is a nice security product for the company.
Much better than other competitors.
We used the VPN function and it is easy to manage
The administraion interface of the Cisco secure firewall is a lot more easy to learn than the Palo Alto solution. Also, the dashboard panels offers by Cisco seems a lot more useful and details than the Palo Alto solution.

Yes

Cisco secure firewall is good as the Internet edge protection, as well as headquarter VPN solution. It also has many features that allow large scale deployment as remote office firewall gateway.
On the other hand, it would not be an appropriate solution for SOHO deployment scenario as its current price point, and the complexity in setting up a comprehensive security policy.
