Cisco ASA NGFW Review

It blocks all outside to inside traffic and only permits the specific internet traffic from the outside. VPN functionality is very useful, we can create remote access and tunnel VPN in the simplest way.

It blocked all kinds of internet attacks from outside like DOS or DDOS and avoided any down time. We created a remote tunnel from head office to data center network for easy access of servers that make working fast and they are easily manageable.

It would be great if they would add web filtering functionality to this product.

It is a little difficult in newer IOS versions where the use of the NAT command is different. Otherwise its straightforward to configure.

I deployed it in-house with my team.

This solution reduces any downtime therefore business continuity is not disturbed - that is ultimately ROI.

It is one time cost of about $10,000 and there is no day to day cost.

Yes, I evaluated Fortigate, SonicWall and Juniper but found Cisco ASA to be the best solution for us above all of the others.

Cisco ASA is a reliable product and it benefits you a lot in your network.
