Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use it to manage all different kinds of firewalls, well at least all different kinds of secure firewalls. Usually fire powers of course. We also use it to actually check and verify which flows are being allowed or being dropped and that kind of stuff.

Pros and Cons

It's really easy to correlate events and just to see on multiple firewalls what is actually happening within the network.

In comparison to the ASA, for instance, the VPN setup is easy, but to actually see which SAS are up, it's really hard to see that. And it's easier on the ASA, so that is something that probably can improve. So we could actually see like this kind of traffic is up and running so we know which essays are down or where we can actually troubleshoot easier

Return on Investment

Alternatives Considered

For the competitors, there's Panorama of course which is also very nice. But I do like the FMC better
