Secure, scalable, and straightforward installation
The technical support from Cisco is not very good. In a recent experience, they asked us for 20 minutes about our project and then redirected around to other people. I need to report to this agent, I need to register to this database, there is too much involved in getting a solution. This has always been the case, they are asking us too many questions, and then when it comes down to a solution, it is at a bare minimum. This is something they can improve on, but they do not seem eager to improve. However, we do have an assigned project representative that is helpful.

There are a few tweaks I would explore although this has been an outstanding product line.
Having experienced the frustrations of poorly designed/executed interfaces first-hand, one of the most valuable features for me is the graceful, responsive, and compatible web-UI. It works well across all browsers that I’ve tried, and even on mobile browsers. The snort engine, which is the muscle behind the Sourcefire IPS technology, has always been a joy for me to work with. I have almost 10 years of experience with snort and the power, customization, and ease-of-use has yet to be replicated. Lastly, I find great value in the context-sharing behavior across technologies with Sourcefire. Each active technology on the sensor enjoys access to the context of the others, and this has the great benefit of increasing accuracy and efficacy of automated response functions.
