Cons
"To be frank, the product is not really stable, although they're working on that. Whenever I go to the technical community with an issue, they will usually say that it is not there yet, but the technical team are working on it. The issues are not insolvable. I think they should just keep working on the product to make sure that the product can become very stable. The technical support is great. I appreciate that. We have a lot of communities supporting Firepower now, so you can find help for whatever issue you have.""The pricing needs to be improved. We have lots of low-budget clients around us. Budget constraints are always a deterrent in our market.""If the price is brought down then everybody will be happy.""The solution's approach to managing traffic blocking is confusing and impractical.""With the next release, I would like to see some PBR, so that you can do the configuration with the features.""Integration with other components — even Cisco's own products — can be enhanced to improve administrative experience.""While the alerts they offer are good, it could improve it in the sense that they should be more detailed to make the alerts more useful to us in general. Sometimes the solution will offer up false positives. Due to the fact that the alerts aren't detailed, we have to go dig around to see why is it being blocked. The solution would be infinitely better if there was just a bit more detail in the alert information and logging we receive.""The implementation could be a bit easier."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "We have a three-year license for this solution."
  • "Licensing for this solution is paid on a yearly basis."
  • "I don't know the exact amount, but most of the time when I go to a company with a proposition, they will say, "This thing that you are selling is good, but it's expensive. Why don't you propose something like FortiGate, Check Point, or Palo Alto?" Cisco device are expensive compared to other devices."
  • "The cost is per port and can be expensive but it does include training and support for three years."
