Excellent Firewall Platform
What do you like best about the product?
Inexpensive, ease to configure and manage, HA features are outstanding.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike very little with the ASA firewalls.

The Cisco ASA firewalls provide us with an inexpensive enterprise level firewall platform. We use for firewall and VPN solutions in many eniorments and locations
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Highly recommended. Inexpensive enterprise level firewall.
Cisco Firepower Analisys
What do you like best about the product?
This new generation firewall, has 2 main upgrades if we compare de Cisco Firepower against the Cisco ASA
First: More Capacity about sessions and a improven posibility of creation of new sessions. The Firepower can duplicate or triplicate this aspect if we compre to the ASA. This is very useful if you are an ISP and you have a DNS Cache. This can help you if you have any incident in your DNS or in the master server that you use.
2nd. The integration of the firewall services with online services as umbrella, and automatically signature updates for services like DDos, and protection against malwares. Almost that Firepower support aplication visibility and control if it's required, and URL blocking.
Cisco have included this very important option in their firewall, you have

What do you dislike about the product?
Really there isn't any particular factor that i dislike.
But in this product, is very important to have the support up to date, so you can access to the updated security signatures list.
Like all of Cisco ASA, some stuff ir really hard to do in the CLI, it's like Cisco want us to use the web app. In ASA was a little hard, in Firepower you have to do via http.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're an ISP, with firepower we solve the problem of opened sessions due to DNS failures. In particular events like a problem of facebook or a problem in our DNS, we've reached the 750k of opened sessions and the ASA is seriosly affected and drops all new sessions.
Almost that we use the Firewall for IPsec tunnels for all the country.

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.

Ease of use, simple to understand interface, remote access when away from the office

Nothing that I can think of. Everything about it is awesome
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Stopping intrusions, routing to remote offices
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Go for it. It is the best firewall I have ever used.
Works well, but need AMI options
This works well. I have several of these deployed. The only issue is that the AMI is on c4, and the c5 AMI's are cheaper.
Blends into the processes - not problematic
What do you like best about the product?
I don't have to really worry about this product - it runs in the background and I don't have to worry about.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't really know enough about this product in order to dislike it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used to have a lot more issues and now I don't have any issues with the firewall.
Cisco firewall will they move to future?
What do you like best about the product?
Its simple and easy to use, lots of clear tabs - which shows each setting and guides show each steps and command line configuration which was really nice if you do not have access to asdm.
What do you dislike about the product?
Firepower module why it was so hard to build it earlier and integrate more - very poor performance of IPS access has to be limited as it cannot handle all traffic and memory is overloaded thenks to which firewalls fail over. I hope that future releses fix this. Also Firepower is very limited they just started adding features which in other firewalls are for months or years now.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Security and filtering, it nice to add all features and firepower licenses but the throughput of firewall then is not so great... and here you have to limit what is being filtered or not or you will end up with large bottleneck which will be your firewall.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try other vendors which as today its much easier set up if you require IPS/URL filtering and monitoring
