Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Secure Firewall
We use Cisco Secure Firewall for our edge security for our major datacenters as well as our large office and SCADA networks. It has been excellent in both reliability and functionality for these use cases. We very rarely have had to replace units before end-of-life and the security flexibility has allowed us to grow organically with this solution.
Pros
- Security Zoning
- Firmware Upgrades
- Traffic Visibility
Cons

- Reliability has made the platform a go-to solution for our business.

We use the analytics often to monitor traffic and identify blocks and allows. The filters are highly customizable and it's easy to identify traffic issues.
Having worked in the Fortinet and Sonicwall space, I have found that the Cisco Secure Firewall platform is the easiest to work with. The platform is easily customizable and overall very clean. Cisco has kept the platform feeling fresh with regular updates.
