Cisco Firewall
What do you like best about the product?
In the cloud era, network firewalls need to do more than secure networks. They must also ensure you have uninterrupted network availability and robust access to cloud-hosted applications.
Cisco Firewall is a family of physical appliance, virtual, and cloud-based appliances that protect and enhance the dispersed network infrastructure. They deliver advanced security by tightly integrating a comprehensive set of next-generation firewall technologies, including Layer 7 application profiling, intrusion prevention, web filtering, malware and advanced threat protection, antispam protection, and network access control.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
people should really use this
Like it more than others.
What do you like best about the product?
I started using Cisco firewalls long ago when PIX501 was in place. What I like is how it was developing for a ling time. Now all network features are nearly complete.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes there're stability issues with newest versions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Perimeter protection, cloud protection (ASAv is also used).
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You have virtual version to evaluate and test, see for yourself. Qualified engineer can do nearly everything with it.
Cisco ASA
What do you like best about the product?
The Cisco ASA series FW is quite versatile and supports a plethora of features that's suitable for small to very large deployments. I particularily like the ability to deploy SSLVPN termination on the same FW device.
The GUI wizards are definately quite useful for the beginner as jumping into the CLI to implement IPSEC VPN tunnels could be challening for few.
I also quite enjoy the debugging capabilities any Cisco device has as you should be able to troubleshoot majority of the problems from the debug logs.
The ASA platform has recently incorporated Snort capabilities and Firepower. I look forward to using that a good threat defense.

What do you dislike about the product?
The JAVA ASDM GUI is one of it's major weakness. Nobody runs java apps anymore, yet their main GUI management is still stuck on that platform. The main interface also has not improved much since the beginning.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The Cisco ASA serves as a main access filter from the internet as well as IPSec and SSLVPN termination.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You can start off using the ASA by configuring it in ASDM. However I would recommend learning to use the CLI interface in order to know the ins and outs of the device. Use the ASDM only as a supplementary to make quick changes.
Cisco ASA5525 firewall and IPS
What do you like best about the product?
More functions than I can use but fairly simple to maintain,manage and monitor external traffic. We also use the Intrusion Prevention module. Both provide very granular configuration. We did get a 3rd party partner to do the initial install which I recommend.
We have blocked many threats and had were able to verify our internal data assets were safe.

What do you dislike about the product?
Not really a dislike but it is a complicated system which makes sense for the amount of control provided over internet traffic monitoring and filtering.
Unless you know the system well, I strongly recommend help with the initial install as incorrect settings can either shut you down or leave you open to threats.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Foremost securing our internal systems from outside threats is the primary reason for the firewall. Cisco is well established so we have a resource for support and know they will be around for the long run. Having Cisco network equipment internally helps with one platform/vendor for support.
We are able to protect our data and know of attacks. Monitoring also gives us the ability to look for other issues with traffic. We use Cisco Anyconnect VPN which integrates easily with the ASA5525

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Cisco is not the cheapest solution but is a solid vendor with a long history in this area. They have a broad range of network products and can work with you for a solution to issues 24/7.
Definitely a case of getting what you pay for with this product. It is rock solid and secure

Fairly easy to manage. Gets the job done. Backed by a well known vendor in the IT industry
What do you dislike about the product?
Product receives several security patches a month. GUI is flaky at times.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Firewall
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be sure to have a dedicated resource(s) to manage the product
Powerful enterprise firewalls
What do you like best about the product?
We have deployed these across multiple customer sites for their powerful feature set, resiliency options and reliability. The newer versions with the subscription option for IDS/IPS are a real benefit.
What do you dislike about the product?
They do require advanced networking knowledge to deploy and manage, which is to be expected. They are not like the Meraki hardware that can be deployed automatically.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Datacentre and branch office security, including application publishing.
Cisco ASDM provides a solid GUI interface to manage their firewall appliances
What do you like best about the product?
Cisco ASDM may seem complex at first, but it doesn't take long to learn to use it effectively to manage an environment's network traffic. With each iteration of the application, more useful features have been introduced, from rule hit counts to the ability to create network objects using FQDN to being able to quickly identify orphaned network objects, while the core features continues to deliver. The CLI provides users who prefer to perform management tasks using command line the options to do so, and the overall GUI is organized and simplifies the firewall management experience.
What do you dislike about the product?
Two things come to mind - Java dependency on launching ASDM and duplicate network objects.
With Java dependency, being able to launch the ASDM successfully becomes a challenge. At one point it was necessary to roll back Java to a previous version in order for ASDM to work, and a more common nuisance is finding which web browser will actually launch ASDM successfully. For example, I'm only able to launch ASDM through Firefox but not any other popular browers.
With regards to duplicate network objects, it may be specific to our company's deployment but after a recent firewall context upgrade, several existing network objects were duplicated. Furthermore there is no easy way to eliminate them so they end up sitting in the network objects list, not being used anywhere, until they are manually deleted.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cisco appliances serve as a critical component in our company's network infrastructure backbone and having an effective software to manage the appliances is crucial. The ASDM provides useful tools for network administrators to perform their job efficiently and exposure of the tools to various IT units allows teams to support each other using a common language.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There's a reason why Cisco Systems is a leader in the technological world. Their solutions are proven to be reliable and effective, and their firewall products are exceptional. It'd be hard-pressed to find a company needing commercial-grade firewall integration that doesn't consider Cisco's products.
