"NGIPS' best feature is the separate IPSec tunnels, which makes the user's data more secure if they want to access it privately."
"The initial setup wasn't complex or complicated."
"The most valuable features are the intrusion detection ones."
"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."
"I like the way the tool pushes the packets from the node level."
"You can do zero-day prevention and detection. It's quite useful."
"I like Firepower's automation, and the security intelligence is a powerful feature."
"Setup is straightforward with the same reliability and scalability as the firewall series."

"In the next release I would like to see better reporting. I also find it's hard to act on the data it gives you."
"The initial setup is a bit complex because it requires a lot of configuration, firewall and zoning."
"What I don't like about Cisco recently is they keep changing the names, which makes it hard for customers and sometimes even us as engineers to know what is the solution they are speaking about. For example, with AMP, now they call it Secure Endpoint and I don't know if in the next couple of years they're going to change it to something else. They should keep the names the same."
"The user interface needs some improvement, it is a little rudimentary and not very intuitive."
"The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The attack patterns and payloads go undetected in Cisco. We would like to see a new solution with more effective detection of attack patterns. There should be more data analyzing patterns as well which provides useful information."
"The CLI, the console line interface, of the FTD could be improved. It's very complex, so without a GUI, it doesn't work well. I would like it to be more simple."
"Should include additional security features."
"Lack of tools to help educate end users"
