Most reliable name in networking

Cisco has been the biggest player in network security for many years, and they have done this by being innovative and reliable with everything they do. Their customer support is top notch as well as their products.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not really Cisco's fault but The Cisco Adaptive Security Device manager can be a pain but this is because it uses Java and I have heard rumors that this is going away.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Allows us to allow third party access from and outside network and keep them from going where they don't need to go.

Solid solution for VPNs and inspact outgoing/ingoing traffic - nothig more
What do you like best about the product?
Configuration in CLI is still old PIX CLI with some new changes... Configuration and debug are in "Cisco" style - solid and good known...
What do you dislike about the product?
Evolve... PIX/ASA is 5 years in the past. Competition offers more. But if you want just configure access out or in and you have few branches you want to connect to your network via IPSec, this the best solution...
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Missing antivir, antispam, uselles web management... Easy configuration and troubleshooting wia CLI.
It just works
What do you like best about the product?
I have been servicing Cisco ASA firewalls for customers for a few years now and they never disappoint, If you buy a Cisco firewall you can be sure that it will work for a long time.
What do you dislike about the product?
The ASDM can sometimes be buggy but mostly those are Java issues.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have setup Cisco Firepower with Cisco ASA with Malware and URL filter license, customer has not had a virus problem since!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Cisco is quality.
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.
Good but behind the times
What do you like best about the product?
Very consistent look and feel across all versions
What do you dislike about the product?
Behind the times as a next generation firewall.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Not as good as Palo alto firewalls. Lacking in deep packet inspection and analytics.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would highly recommend looking at other vendors like Palo Alto
Cisco ASA
What do you like best about the product?
Fairly solid product. Widespread use so there is a lot of documentation available. Able to privde Malware protection, VPN service and Firewall on the same box.
What do you dislike about the product?
It uses Java for its GUI. Product line is a bit slow to adapt new technologies. Code has become a bit buggier over the years.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Basic firewalling. We also use anyconnect VPN on the device. VPN use is much better than our previous web based VPN. We were able to add the Firesight module to the device to provide better security at the application layer.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do your homework. When I was deploying my ASA's there was not much choice for L7 firewalls designed for the midsize market. The ASA is a good firewall, although a bit over priced as are all Cisco products.
