We implement the solution in-house. Deployment time depends on the environment itself. You also have to consider migrations and preparing the environment. In the learning phase, you determine any impact on protection or policy and adapt accordingly. 

A large network will take longer to implement than a small one. Integrations can take some hours to many days, can take minutes to a month. 

We had help from professional services.

A Cisco consultant helped us with the tool's implementation. They were competent, helpful, and confident. 

You have to do your own implementation of the Cisco NGIPS hardware, but for the configuration, Cisco support can be involved from day one. That's what I have experienced. There was some exception but I have involved the Cisco support team from day one when I started configuring my firewall.

We hired a professional service to install this solution.

We used an in-house team to do the deployment and it takes roughly a day and a half depending on the size of your organization and the configuration. Setting up the rules, all the features, and the licensing takes time.

To do the maintenance you need somebody familiar with Cisco and networking technologies.

In this case, we did it in-house and I was the integrator.

A Cisco vendor in Nepal helped us configure the product properly. We didn't have a strategy. The vendors supported us from the very beginning. After working with them, we had no problem using the product.

It took almost a month and a half to install the system.

My company purchases professional services from Cisco's partner to take care of the installation phase.

We did it in-house.

I do the implementation myself but in certain situations, because we have a risk assessment, it's a sort of risk transfer, so we have a contract with a certain integrator. We do have a contract, but I personally do the setup.

One skilled person is suitable for deployment.

We used a consultant for the implementation of the solution.

We had a reseller assist with our deployment.

I had an integrator help implement; they were very professional.

The implementation can take anywhere from one day to a month for advanced tuning and firewall protection.

I have ten people who take care of maintenance.

We implemented the solution by ourselves. Last time, we worked with a company that deployed for us, but it turned out not to be necessary. We realized we can deploy by ourselves, and attend the training and support by ourselves. 

In our company process some team, we have three or four people and the solution can be easily maintained because it is managed in one place in the Firepower management center. In one company we have approximately 24 Firepower models and these devices are controlled by one system, the Firepower management system (FMC). It's very easy to control and maintain the solution.

I am responsible for deploying this product to our customers. When it comes to maintenance, we cooperate. They know the environment, their tools, the change management, and the internal procedures. I take care of the technical parts, and we have full cooperation until it is complete.

We implemented this solution through an in-house team and deployed it ourselves. 

I do the implementation myself.

I handled the implementation myself.

I configured the system myself and the process was okay.

We used a reseller. 

We handled the setup ourselves. We did not require the assistance of any integrators or consultants. It was all done in-house.
