The valuable features of the Cisco Secure Firewall include the unified console and compatibility with other solutions such as Duo Mobile with DAC and EDR. The single solution allows users to see one dashboard, and the compatibility solution provides better dashboard integration.

The features from the Firewall have benefited my organization by providing more integration with the Firewall Management Center and other Cisco tools such as ACI, APEX, ISE, and several others such as PXGrid, helping to create an ecosystem of Cisco solutions.

Cisco Secure Firewall integrates well.

The biggest benefit of Cisco Secure Firewall and the features that stand out to me are its excellent integration with PLC and manufacturing devices. This option cannot be found on other devices such as Sophos or FortiGate. The unification of policies is very important to me because without unified communication between devices with the same rule and security policy, managing everything with separate technology and separate vendors would be very difficult. Cisco excels at this.

I find the integration with Cisco products in Cisco Secure Firewall most valuable because the majority of the features are equivalent to other OEMs. The ecosystem integration with Cisco is what I prefer. We have the NAC solution deployed remotely, and we have integrated NAC with the firewall. The automation between the RTC, if any malware is detected by the firewall, the response tells the NAC solution to quarantine or put the user in a different segment. This is one of the unique features that I appreciate.
