Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Secure Firewall

We use Cisco Secure Firewall as our Core Firewalls on our Network.
We use them as routing devices and firewalls between our differents business zones

Pros

  • Filtering
  • Robustness
  • Performances

Cons

  • User interface can be improved
  • Licence management
  • user interface, not intuitive
  • licences costs
These Cisco Secure Firewalls have great performances. We use AMP, TLS inspection and IPS.The latency is very low and we never experimented crashes or bugs on our network.
Throughput stayed stable under heavy load and inspection did not cause measurable slowdown.Operational windows for maintenance were small and support was responsive when needed.
Cisco TAC is responsive and helpful.Issues are resolved quickly.Engineers demonstrate strong product knowledge.Clear escalation paths and timely updates.Support reduces downtime and business risk.
We only use log management.
It's very helpfull when debugging on apps who have problems.
But the UI can be improved
No problems with compatibility.
All the protocols are standards, so the implementation is natural (Vlans, TCP, routing protocols, etc ..)
