Adequately does what is needed
What do you like best about the product?
I like that I can access my desktop and other various applications through a non-work computer (my home computer, in-laws computer if I'm on vacation).
What do you dislike about the product?
Through various updates it seems that some of the buttons don't function as well as others - this may be an internal IT issue, but for example I have 4 or 5 options for a remote desktop, but only one of them actually works.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being able to remotely access my desktop or various software only available on my work computer if it is stationed at work. Great if you forget to bring your laptop home, or need to log in quickly while your work issued laptop is unavailable.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a good product if you need limited functionality.
Well established firewall
What do you like best about the product?
This is an easy tool that allows for employees to stay on direction during their work day. It also provides a great foundation for tech teams to use to eliminate problems that could arise.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing at this time I can speak to disliking. We have only begun using this firewall system recently.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving an easier transition of ensuring computers and software do not become affected by viruses as we previously encountered before purchasing this software.
No one ever got fired for buying Cisco
What do you like best about the product?
Clean command line, and the ability to quickly navigate the device over CLI. Uniform IOS CLI makes it easy to manage with simple cisco route/switch background. Ability to run for long periods of time without intervention. It doesn't do random things, or act funny and need a reboot. It just runs and runs. It's also a bit like a swiss-army-knife for the network. You can divide traffic up how you want to. Multiple NAT pools, source based routing, etc. QoS and packet prioritization. It can even provide DHCP and other basic network services.
What do you dislike about the product?
On Cisco IOS firewall, I have been unable to get a given NAT group to utilize a NAT pool of address with PAT overload. Since I was overloading the NAT group, I eventually needed to switch over to PAT only, which was an acceptable solution, but not what I had wanted to do. Debugging can also be difficult.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have used Cisco IOS firewall in places where I already had an existing router need, so the IOS router was available. This has been cost effective for small sites. The benefit has been a low cost firewall, that provides solid firewall and VPN functionality.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you don't currently have IOS expertise in-house, you are best off looking at other products that provide a more intuitive graphical user interface. But if IOS administration is not a deal-breaker, cisco IOS firewall is a solid, basic firewall for small offices and remote branch offices.
Solid support, documentation and product.
What do you like best about the product?
Cisco firewall's are one of the leaders in security appliances and the Adaptive Security Appliance line is no exception. Configuration through the ASDM web interface is simple and quick. Configuration through the command line requires more knowledge but is far more customizable to business needs. Cisco ASA Firewalls support interopability with many vendors and documentation is widely available.
What do you dislike about the product?
Understanding the full suite of features is a difficult task, as well as learning the licensing structure. Cisco nickels and dimes for many features such as 'inside hosts' that refers to how many devices can be connected at once. It seems like you hear about security vulnerabilities every week on Cisco Firewalls, however Cisco is quick to respond and release updates to fix these issues.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Quick and easy configuration of remote access and site to site tunnels. This allows employees to work from home. Site to site tunnels allows connectivity of internet connected areas.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
understand your licensing needs and how this coincides with what cisco offers. you don't want to need to upgrade later on.
Safe and Easy Firewall
What do you like best about the product?
This program works as a firewall that is easily implemented across multiple systems on a network. The ease in setup is the biggest pro of this software.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the software identifies false positives that have to manually be allowed through.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Preventing malicious attacks and users from accessing unsafe environments on the network.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Cisoc is a big name in the busisness so its hard to go wrong there.
Great Security product
What do you like best about the product?
Feature rich, ever expanding product line. Cisco continues to evolve the firewall product line to keep up to date with the ever changing evolution of internet.
What do you dislike about the product?
Licensing features can be expensive in order to get full protection
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have used cisco firewalls to protect our network and expand our vpn envirionment.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be sure to check out all the features and license only what you need.
Used in my work environment

I like the product very well. sometimes it will not allow for sharing my screen
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
i am using for authorizing access
A critical product that should have the maximum reliability
What do you like best about the product?
The firewall cisco is an established product in the market and therefore very stable. It has a solid network distribution and so it is very simple to renew service support contracts. Their TAC (support team) have a great knowledge of the product and always we received good support .
What do you dislike about the product?
To be quite popular, the product is highly targeted, including by government teams (eg NSA case with modified ASA firmware). Other manufacturers are investing in products that can act in various application layers, providing better visibility of the network.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We need a product capable of providing effective network thread filtering (firewall/vpn) and high availability. The firewall cisco was able to meet the internal demands with full competence.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a stable and consolidated product on the market. dot.
