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.

No More Malware with Cisco Firewall

Since we switched to Cisco Firewall I have seen no threats, malware, or issues at all with my system over the past 3 years

Cisco firewall does block some sites that are business relevant but we have setup an internal process to allow certain types of access to these sites with permission

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take a look at all the subscription options thoroughly before making a decision as there are tons of options and additional components with Cisco
Cisco review
What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy it is to create a conference call.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

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.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Test before deploying, be ready for patches when Windows Updates come around.
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.

What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are cheaper options, but other than that this product is a great tool for companies to use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Eliminating lack of productivity due to distractions or malfunctioning products.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would use the trial period first and see if it meets the needs you wish it to. If so, go for it!
