Overall Satisfaction with Cisco ASA

We are currently using the CIsco ASA to NAT external traffic and inspect both inbound and outbound traffic.

Pros

  • Handles traffic efficiently
  • High availability
  • Command line similar to other Cisco Devices

Cons

  • Centralized Management
  • Licensing way too much trouble
  • Consistency between model numbers.
  • Positive impact is that once they are configured they are easily maintained.
  • Newer configurations have a negative impact because they take time and resources to work out the configurations.
  • Positive impact on ROI is that they last a long period of time without needing to be replaced.
Cisco does the basics very well. I have seen more in depth scanning done with other products done better.
They are a good product for using as an external firewall, as the size grows so does the price then the Support on top of that is where it gets really expensive.
