We performed a comparison between Cisco NGIPS and Claroty Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Darktrace, Vectra AI, Check Point Software Technologies and others in Intrusion Detection and Prevention Software (IDPS)."In the virtual deployment, you have a couple of choices depending on your needs and how much bandwidth you have that needs to be inspected."
"Cisco NGIPS is working well overall with our current needs."
"The cost is the most valuable feature."
"The tracking intelligence feature is very good. This solution provides us with the opportunity to detect threats in real-time."
"I like the way the tool pushes the packets from the node level."
"The most valuable features are the intrusion detection ones."
"I think their fingerprints are good in terms of how they whitelist and blacklist."
"The traffic filter of this solution is very valuable to us, and to our clients."
"The product helps mitigate potential threats, especially if its users have signature rules. The product also provides alerts."
"The SSL decrypt could be improved, but it's normal. All the devices in our platform need a lot of memory or CPU to do the SSL decrypt. This is an issue to improve in all platforms, not only in Cisco."
"Overall, it lacks user-friendliness. It could be easier to manage. I can train any customer using FortiGate or Palo Alto in a few days, but with Cisco, it takes much more time because the systems aren't easy to use."
"We don't like its licensing model. It has separate licensing for all the features. For instance, to get URL filtering, you need to buy another license. Every feature set seems to require another license. Unless you purchase them all upfront, you find some surprises and realize that you can't do that because you need another license. Its logging isn't quite as good as it used to be in our previous solution. We used to have Cisco ASA, and we could view the logs a lot easier than NGIPS (also known as Firepower). We saw real-time logging, but we don't see that as much in Firepower."
"We would like to see some improvement in the configuration process for this solution, as it is currently quite complex."
"Some Next-Generation Firewall solutions come with Intrusion Prevention. It would be nice if Cisco NGIPS included that."
"While the Management GUI and FMC could be improved, the devices themselves function well."
"Better integration with other products, such as a SIEM tool, would provide better peer visibility about your security posture."
"The user interface needs some improvement, it is a little rudimentary and not very intuitive."
"The product's integration capabilities are an area of concern where improvements are required."
