Highlights
The IPS (In-plane switching) is the most valuable feature.
Its VPN and ASN features are very stable.
The setup was straightforward. I was happy with the configuration and deployment of the solution, as it was quick.
This solution has good security, and it's a good product. You can trust Cisco, and there's support as well, which is really good.
The greatest benefit for the organization is the confidence that we are secured.
Its ability to discover attacks is a valuable feature. All of the other features that have to do with security are good.
I haven't had any major problems so I haven't had to open a ticket with technical support.
