Cisco Secure IPS (NGIPS) Reviews

We are using the WAF models to monitor the IDS and IPS also, and it is integrated with Cisco Umbrella.

Cisco NGIPS is working well overall with our current needs.

The stability of the user console and some features could be easier to access.

I have been using Cisco NGIPS for the past one and half years.

The stability can be better. The Cisco console is unstable.

The scalability is fine. I believe it covers the expectations that we have.

Technical support is very good, but you must have the expertise and technical people with Cisco NGIPS.

Positive

It is very straightforward, clear, and easy.

I usually work with Fortinet and FortiGate which is a lower cost in comparison with Cisco NGIPS.

I would rate Cisco NGIPS a nine out of ten.

We use the solution as an intrusion prevention system to detect malicious attacks on the network.

The solution updates at regular intervals. It has the most recent definition of the attacks, including zero-day attacks.

They could provide one solution to fit all the use cases. Presently, we have purchased different solutions for total security. It has become expensive for us.

The solution is very stable. I rate its stability a nine out of ten.

The solution is scalable. It integrates with different XDR solutions. Thus, we can manage all the devices on a single pane. It is suitable for SMEs and large enterprises as well.

I rate its scalability an eight out of ten.

The solution's technical support is quite good. Although, it needs to be cohesive in terms of communication.

Positive

The solution's initial setup process is complicated. But we can manage it with the right team for installation and technical support from Cisco.

The solution is good value for money. It is highly-priced but competitive in terms of features and support services.

It is an efficient cyber security solution. I highly recommend it to others and rate it a nine out of ten.

Our customers use it for VBN and network as well.

I've found the performance and stability to be the most valuable features of Cisco NGIPS. It is scalable as well.

The price could be improved.

I've been providing this solution for about five years.

It is a stable solution.

It is scalable.

My experience with technical support has been okay.

Installation is straightforward and took half a day.

The pricing could be improved. Our customers have a yearly license.

It is a good product, and I would recommend it. I would rate it at eight on a scale from one to ten.

We use this solution as part of our firewall.

This is a great firewall.

I have had a lot of problems with false positives and it would be helpful if this were improved.

I would like to see integration with monitoring tools such as Nagios or BMC.

An improved dashboard would be great.

This is a stable solution.

I have not had contact with technical support.

Prior to this solution, I used the Sophos XG 430.

The initial setup for this solution is complex.

The deployment took four months.

We had a reseller assist with our deployment.

Cisco products are always expensive, but if you can afford the price then it's a great solution. When I compare to Sophos, for example, Sophos is cheaper.

This is a great product. My advice for anybody who is considering this solution is that I would recommend it to anyone who can afford the price of the license.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

I use it for perimeter security for malware prevention.

From a cybersecurity past perspective, it has aligned the features in accordance with our strategic needs. 

The aspect of private party integration solutions could be improved. I would like to see a sandboxing feature. And the options that people buy in modules, they need to packaged better as a baseline.

Initially, the solution was not stable. 

The system is a bit rigid. We have more than 1,000 people using the solution.

Technical support is good but it can be much better.

We didn't previously use a different solution.

The initial setup was a bit complex. One had to read so many areas to understand the navigation feature. It took about three years to reach maturity. For deployment, we required about eight people, but for maintenance, we only require four to six.

I had an integrator help implement; they were very professional.

The solution has a high cost. In my opinion, the cost of renewal is a bit too high.

We looked at several: Imperva, Check Point, Juniper, Sophos, and SourceNET.

We're using it continuously. We plan to increase usage.

During setup, I would advise that you must spend more time on planning. If you do, the transition is easier.

I would rate this solution 6 out of 10. The time it takes for the product to mature, the maturity journey, the product maturity cycle, takes too long.

I primarily use NGIPS as perimeter security firewall devices to filter traffic.

NGIPS' best feature is the separate IPSec tunnels, which makes the user's data more secure if they want to access it privately.

NGIPS' GUI interface could be improved and made more user-friendly, especially in comparison to Palo Alto's Next-Generation Firewall.

I've been using NGIPS for around five years.

The initial setup is complex and requires someone with a background in firewalls to set it up. Inexperienced users will find it very difficult to set up. For experienced users, deployment will take around forty-five minutes. I would rate the setup process five out of ten.

NGIPS is expensive.

I would recommend NGIPS to other users, but only as a second choice behind Palo Alto. I would give NGIPS a rating of eight out of ten.

Our primary use case is for the firewall and other security-related features.

I think the Cisco Firepower is the best firewall in the world and the other security features like AMP, IPS, and deep inspection packets.

The most valuable feature would be the IPS is very important in Cisco Firepower because I can configure deep configuration in IPS and tuning.

I would like to see the sanctions lifted so we could use the full solution and have the speed increased.

I have been using Cisco NGIPS for the past eight years.

The stability is evident and without issues.

The scalability is excellent. We have around one thousand two hundred users.

There is a very good community with CISCO.

The initial setup is straightforward.

The implementation can take anywhere from one day to a month for advanced tuning and firewall protection.

There is definitely a return on investment and is worth the money

When it comes to pricing you pay for a permanent licensing structure. One, three, and five-year options. There are no extra costs.

I would rate Cisco NGIPS a ten on a scale of one to ten.

We use this solution as an intrusion prevention system, as well as UI filtering, application control, and anti-malware protection.

The traffic filter feature of this solution has improved our organization. It not only provides ransomware protection, but saves us time in dealing with unnecessary traffic.

The traffic filter of this solution is very valuable to us, and to our clients.

We would like to see some improvement in the configuration process for this solution, as it is currently quite complex.

We have been working with this solution for around a year.

We have found this to be a stable solution in our experience.

This is a scalable product.

The initial setup of this solution is straightforward if it is only the standard package being installed. However, configuring this product is complex and requires a lot of time commitment.

Deployment of the solution usually only takes a few hours, but if it is being implemented in a more complicated environment it can take up to three days.

We would recommend this solution to other organizations as it is very easy to use.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.
