Reliable
What do you like best about the product?
This is a secure firewall and protects you from virus and general network security. Cisco is well known and it is easy to activate or login to.
What do you dislike about the product?
This is a very technical product; however, they do provide good support tools and training so it helps with the complexity of the solution.

Security for business needs
What do you like best about the product?
Cisco is the industry standard in firewall management. The system is essential to provide security for sensitive information and provide the right control levels for port management.

Product is expensive and can be lengthy to implement correctly for specific in and out of office needs.

Solid product, cumbersome interface
What do you like best about the product?
Robust hardware. Best in business warranty and support (with smartnet).
What do you dislike about the product?
Not coming from a cisco background and having to learn the ASDM interface. I've found it a little challenging and cumbersome at times. Had an issue a few months back where the primary/secondary units were not syncing correctly and it took Cisco support a few weeks to get the issue resolved (it ended up being a bug in the version we were running). I feel like the IDS interface could use a makeover.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We keep firewalls extremely locked down to keep us safe from the outside as much as possible (which poses some other issues). For our needs the firewalls are rock solid and require very little maintenance other than software upgrades.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The newer Cisco firewalls with sourcefire are the best in the industry. The firewalls we are using (ASA-5510) are great hardware with some reservations on the GUI.

Not too bad Firewall
What do you like best about the product?
For the application itself, it gets the job done. Its a failry light client and most users wont be bothered by it/notice it.
What do you dislike about the product?
During some windows updates, it will stop the application from running on some users machines. You will have to go in and set to run as administrator and at a previous version of windows. This was poorly looked at and caused alot of un-needed support calls.

Cisco FireWall

Great tool to use if you want to eliminate threats and oddities while during the workday/outside the workday. It provides a great support system to ensure your company is on the right track.

There are cheaper options, but other than that this product is a great tool for companies to use.

Eliminating lack of productivity due to distractions or malfunctioning products.
