What do you like most about Cisco ASA Firewall?

The return on investment is not going to be restricted to just the box... Now, these genres have been expanded to cyber, to third-party integrations, having integrated logging, having integrated micro and macro segmentations. The scope has been widened, so the ROI, eventually, has multiplied.

I love the ASDM (Adaptive Security Device Manager) which is the management suite. It's a GUI and you're able to see everything at a glance without using the command line. There are those who love the CLI, but with ASDM it is easier to see where everything is going and where the problems are.

This solution made our organization more secure and gave us better control.

ASA integrates with FirePOWER, IPS functionality, malware filtering, etc. This functionality wasn't there in the past. With its cloud architecture, Cisco can filter traffic at the engine layer. Evasive encryptions can be entered into the application, like BitTorrent or Skype. This wasn't possible to control through a traditional firewall.

For our very specific use case, for remote access for VPN, ASAs are very good.

The CLI is the most valuable feature. This solution is very flexible and offers different functionality including firewalls and VPN connectivity.

We definitely feel more secure. We have more control over things going in and out of our network.

The IP filter configuration for specific political and Static NAT has been most valuable.

Cisco ASA Firewall is a well known product. They're always updating it, and you know what they're doing and that it works.

One of the best features is the ease of use. It's also easy to teach new engineers to use the ASA CLI.

One of the most valuable features is the GUI front end, which is very easy to use. But I'm also a command-line guy, and being able to access the device via command-line for advanced troubleshooting is quite important.

The user interface is very easy to manage and find rules. You can do object searches, which are very easy. Also, the logging is very simple to use. So, it is a lot easier to troubleshoot and find items inside the firewall.

Its security and filtering are most valuable. Every layer of data that comes into the organization goes through it. After setting up the criteria, it automatically filters the traffic. We don't have to check it often.

The most valuable feature is the anti-malware protection. It protects the endpoints on my network.

Cisco ASA works very nicely from an administration perspective. The management of the device is very nice. The ASDM (Adaptive Security Device Manager) is the software that we use and it is very easy to configure using the GUI.

Cisco offers a great educational series to train users on their devices.

We find all of its features very useful. Its main features are policies and access lists. We use both of them, and we also use routing.

I have not contacted technical support. There is a lot of information on the internet for troubleshooting. All you need to do is use a search engine and you will find the information you are looking for easily.

The high-availability and remote VPN features are most valuable.

The configuration was kind of straightforward from the command line and also from the ASDM. It was very easy to manage by using their software in Java.

The remote access, VPN, and ACL features are valuable. We are using role-based access for individuals.

The product is quite robust and durable.

The remote VPN and IPsec VPN or site-to-site VPN features are valuable. The clustering feature is also valuable. We have two ISP links. Whenever there is a failover, users don't even get to know. The transition is very smooth, and the users don't notice any latency. So, remote VPN, site-to-site VPN, and failover are three very powerful features of Cisco ASA.

The most valuable feature we have found to be the VPN because we use it often.

Even in very big environments, Cisco comes in handy with configuration and offers reliability when it comes to managing multiple items on one platform.

I like the IPS feature, it is the most valuable.

The whole firewall functionality, including firewall policies and IPS policies, is valuable. It has all kinds of functionalities. It has IPS, VPN, and other features. They are doing quite a lot of stuff with their devices.

The Inline Mode configuration works really well, and ASA works very impressively.

It is extremely stable I would say — at least after you deploy it.

The solution is excellent for enterprise-level networks.

The command line is the same as it is on the Cisco iOS router.

It's a flexible solution.

To be honest, all of the features that are provided, all the other vendor will also have. One feature we did find valuable was the CLI, it is more accurate. Additionally, I was happy with the customization, dashboards, access lists and interface.

The user interface, the UI, is excellent on the solution.

I think Cisco ASA Firewall is the most stable firewall solution.

Simple to deploy, stable.

The most valuable feature is that it's secure.

The clusters in data centers are great.

The most important feature is the VPN connection.

The most valuable feature is the ability to block almost all of the ports.

It's a flexible solution and is well-known in the community.

It is a very user-friendly product.

It's very stable and mature.

It is a very stable product. I've not had any issues with it. It is a super product, and I won't need to change it anytime soon.

I like all of the features.

We are mostly using it for remote access, so the remote access feature is the most valuable, but all other features are also needed and required. It is also a very straightforward and reliable solution.

I have found the stability of this solution really good. This is why I use it.

The configuration capabilities and the integration with other tools are the most valuable features.

I really like this product. Cisco is one of my favorite brands, and I always think Cisco solutions are very reliable, easy to configure, and very secure.

The initial setup is easy.

The interface is user-friendly.

VPN and firewall are good features.

This product is pretty stable.

It's pretty reliable and allows for isolation capabilities within the network.

The most valuable features for my client are the ASDM and monitoring.

The most valuable features are the provision of internet access, AnyConnect, and VPN capabilities.

The most valuable feature is the access control list (ACL).

The configuration support is very good. You can find a lot of configuration samples and troubleshooting tips on the internet, which is very good.

Technical support services are excellent.

I like them mostly because they don't break and they have great diagnostics.

The user interface is easy to navigate.

Everything is all documented in the file or in the command line script that gets uploaded to the device. It gives us great visibility.

The management aspect of the product is very straightforward.

It is very stable compared to other firewall products.

The best features are stability and scalability.

The most valuable feature must be AnyConnect. We have quite a few customers who use it. It is easy to use and the stablest thing that we have. We have experienced some issues on all our VPN clients, but AnyConnect has been the stablest one.

The benefits we see from the ASA are connected to teleworking as well as, of course, having the basic functionality of a firewall in place and the prevention of attacks.

On the network side, where you create your rules for allowing traffic — what can come inside and what can go out — that works perfectly, if you know what you want to achieve. It protects you.

If we look at the Cisco ASA without Firepower, then one of the most valuable features is the URL filtering.

If you have a solution that is creating a script and you need to deploy many implementations, you can create a script in the device and it will be the same for all. After that, you just have to do the fine tuning.

The traffic inspection and the Firepower engine are the most valuable features. It gives you full details, application details, traffic monitoring, and the threats. It gives you all the containers the user is using, especially at the application level. The solution also provides application visibility and control.

They provide DDoS protection and multi-factor authentication. That is a good option as it enables work-from-home functionality.

The most valuable feature is that the encryption is solid.

For us, the most valuable features are the IPX and the Sourcefire Defense Center module. That gives us visibility into the traffic coming in and going out, and gives us the heads-up if there is a potential outbreak or potential malicious user who is trying to access the site. It also helps us see traffic generated by an end device trying to reach out to the world.

The information coming from Talos does a good job... I like the fact that Cisco is working with them and getting the information from them and updating the firewall.

The firepower sensors have been great; they do a good job of dropping unwanted traffic.

Unfortunately in Cisco, only the hardware was good.

The most important point is the detection engine which is now part of the next-generation firewalls and which is supported by Cisco Talos.

The most valuable feature of this solution is AMP (Advanced Malware Protection), as this is really needed to protect against cyber threats.

I like the Cisco ASDM (Adaptive Security Device Manager), which is the configuration interface for the Cisco firewall.

The technical team is always available when we have problems.

The stability of the solution is very good. We can see that it gets even better with every release.

The most valuable feature is that it has the ability to divide the network into three parts; internal, external, and DMZ.

A powerful enterprise security solution that is dependible.

The stability is good. Very simple. Upgrades are great.

For business purposes, it's a very detailed solution, which is it's greatest benefit, as you can get almost any piece of information you need from the solution. It allows for admins to be able to troubleshoot pretty easily.

The best solutions for our company are those we have yet to implement so it will be even better in the future for us than it already is.

The most important feature is its categorization because on the site and social media you are unified in the way they are there.

What I like about Cisco is the security zone. By default when you configure it, it gives you a security zone, which other firewalls don't have.

An efficient, easy to deploy and dependable firewall solution.

This solution is easy to use if you know how to set it up.

The most valuable features are the flexibility and level of security that this solution provides.

The most valuable feature of this solution is its ability to integrate vertically.

A stable and solid solution for protection from external threats and for VPN connections.

The feature I find most valuable is the Cisco VPN Interconnection.

The features I found most valuable in this solution, are the overall security features.

We are using the Cisco AnyConnect for our end-user VPN with the ASA.

The web interface was easy for me. The configuration is logical, so it's easy to use and easy to understand how to protect, how to open a port, how to manage and how to route a device. That's why I prefer Cisco. It's robust and I never have issues with the hardware. That's why I choose Cisco and not another vendor.

The firewall power that comes with Cisco ASAv is the most valuable asset. They are are very easy to manage.

Integration with all the other Cisco tools is valuable.

We moved from a legacy firewall to the ASA with FirePOWER, increasing our Internet Edge defense dramatically.

Cisco ASA NGFW significantly improves our bank. It protects any high-value products that we use from hackers, viruses, malware, and script-bots. It gives us metrics on network traffic as well as what kind of attacks we are getting from the outside.

Right now, Cisco ASA NGFW has given us a lot of improvement. We are planning to move to a new facility and will be a much larger organization.

I would say the Firepower module is most valuable. I'm trying more to transition to this kind firewall. I had to study a little on Palo Alto Networks equipment. There is a lot I have to learn about the difference.

The stability of Cisco ASA is excellent compared to other products on the market. Because of our customer experience as an integrator company, our clients never report any performance problems. We have a good performance reputation with Cisco ASA.

I like the user interface because the navigation is very easy, straightforward on your left side pane you have all the sites that you need to browse. Unlike any other firewalls, it's pretty straightforward.

We have multiple secure internal networks linked with our plants. We are from a oil company, so we have multiple plant areas which need to have restricted network access. Therefore, we are using it for restricting access to the plant area.

The feature that I found most valuable is the overall stability of the
product.
