Cisco's stability issues have caused several of our customers to complain directly to the vendor, and if these issues persist into the future I will not be able to continue recommending Cisco NGIPS to our customers. In terms of cost, security, compatibility, and flexibility, there are a lot of products doing better than Cisco, so why would customers keep buying Cisco if they can get better products with more stability? Cisco has to think of their global market first and foremost and fix their issues based on their findings. In our country, Cisco has a good name because they got here first, but a lot of customers have shifted, in terms of security, to other products such as Fortinet and Palo Alto, which have their own Next-Generation firewalls.

The code is well-stabled right now and we've never had issues upgrading from one version to another. We've had it since version 2.0 and for every time we upgrade, it gets better. We're currently on version 6.6 and we're expecting that when 6.7 comes out, it will get better.
Cisco NGIPS is a stable solution.

View full review »It is more or less stable. Sometimes I have some issues normally when we need to upgrade it to newer versions. I think it does the job. The hardware does the job, and the current models do the job.
It is a stable solution.

We initially had some difficulty loading pages due to certain rules regarding performance and stability. On some websites, we had to click more than once. These issues were quite easy to fix.

Cisco NGIPS is stable, but I there is more that can be done.
Cisco is particularly strong when it comes to firewalls and the IPS, IBS, or next-generation firewalls. When I was working as a system architect we went from Cisco to Palo Alto or Fortinet. I don't know if they've made some recent improvements or maybe it's in the roadmap, but I would say there's still room for improvement with Cisco security appliances.

It's a really good product but I have had a really good experience with Palo Alto UTM Appliances. Which I would give a higher mark than the Firepower. It's just a little bit more expensive than the Cisco Firepower.

This current solution is stable. Last time, we worked with Cisco ASA 6500. That solution sometimes froze and we had to reboot the system. This one, as I mentioned, seems fine. We don't have this problem.

The solution is stable. This is one of the good things about Firepower. Especially if we use ESE with it. That would make it the complete solution for Cisco for security. If it is the complete solution, it's stable and there are no issues with the product. If the user isn't connected all the time, for example, if we look at some sites or some users, sometimes the connection for the user gets disconnected with each session. Sometimes the filter doesn't work.

For the years we've been using Firepower we have only one or two cases of instability. There were only one or two unpredictable things.
One case was fasten with Active/standby switchover. After switchover some networks has been lost. After rebooting the standby FP next switchover was without problem.
Another case was associated with setting up of NAT. It was a FirePower nuance. Only the second TAC engineer helped us with it.

Security Team Lead at a tech services company with 201-500 employees
We had multiple bugs and issues on the old versions, but the new versions Cisco has recently released are much more stable. However, our customers are still facing many bugs on the system. It has matured noticeably, but we are still facing multiple stability issues on Firepower. There are more than 80 or 90 bugs for each release node. It's a considerable number of bugs. It's much better than before, but there are still too many bugs in the new versions. The R&D team needs to put more work into new releases to minimize the number of bugs.
