Highlights
We moved from a legacy firewall to the ASA with FirePOWER, increasing our Internet Edge defense dramatically.
Integration with all the other Cisco tools is valuable.
The firewall power that comes with Cisco ASAv is the most valuable asset. They are are very easy to manage.
The features I found most valuable in this solution, are the overall security features.
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.
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.
