We have several brands of firewalls in our organization. Compared to them, the ease of management of the Cisco firewalls is pretty good.

We evaluated Check Point. The pros were that we're a Cisco house, so having Cisco Firepower is useful. Also, the architectural differences between Check Point and Firepower lend themselves to Firepower. The Check Point architecture is a bit more complicated. It's a bit more complex to deploy and a bit more difficult to troubleshoot. I think troubleshooting with Firepower is much more intuitive, so it's easy for the operations guys to manage, and it's easy for people to consume.

We evaluated some Palo Alto and Juniper solutions, but Cisco ASA Firewall is better in terms of ease of use. You could get certified in it.
