We were using the Cisco ASA but some features were missing [so] we upgraded [to] Cisco [Secure Firewall]. It provides us layer 7 security and more control and visibility on layers 3 and 4. In Cisco Secure Firewall, we can [easily] check the logs and configure the policy through GUI as well as CLI. URL filtering and advanced malware protection are [some] of my favorite features in [Cisco Secure Firewall] which are [very] advanced and stop any attack on organizations.
