Find out what your peers are saying about Darktrace, Vectra AI, Check Point Software Technologies and others in Intrusion Detection and Prevention Software (IDPS)."The solution is stable. This is one of the good things in Firepower. Especially if we use ESE with it."
"The solution gives us a lot of visibility into our security."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"It is salable and technically sound."
"Among all the different solutions I have worked with, such as Palo Alto many other firewalls. Cisco has the support, documentation, and design. The documentation is widely available and it can help you a lot with implementation. It makes the implementation much easier."
"We like the Cisco product, the concept, and the tech intelligence."
"The most valuable feature is its IPS ability. You are able to balance security and connectivity."
"This is a stable solution."
"It works right out of the box. You just have to enable it and you can start working."
"The VPN and the filtering features are the most valuable. Its VPN is very strong, and its services are very nice. The main problem in India is the service. There are not enough Check Point and Fortinet Firewall services, but for this product, the service is very good."
"The most important feature of this solution is the SLAs."
"The initial setup was straightforward and, because we only need intrusion detection and prevention, we needed only about four hours to deploy it."
"The alarm system is valuable."
"The price is a little high. It's hard to find solutions that are easy on the budget and strike a balance between affordability and features."
"The GUI user interface could be improved and the login is not very user friendly."
"The price could be improved."
"The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The biggest problem with most Cisco products is that the interface is lagging behind the competition. The user interface could be updated and improved."
"We would like an option to search through the logs to be added to this solution."
"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 initial setup is a bit complex because it requires a lot of configuration, firewall and zoning."
"Multi properties could be added to the solution in the future to make it better."
"The user interface and configuration can be improved."
"Regarding technical support, they could use more engineers."
"Its graphical user interface could be improved because not everybody is technical. There is a lack of knowledge, and they can give some training for this solution."
"I would like to see faster automatation."
