One of the most valuable features of Cisco Secure Firewalls is their seamless integration with other Cisco products.
Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center offers scalability with additional licenses and is praised for its successful deployment in large accounts. Applied policy and intrusion prevention, centralized management, and system stability are highly valued. Despite initial setup complexity and cost concerns, it enhances operational security. Challenges include decreased throughput with encryption, potential IOS and deployment improvements, and difficulties in sizing the firewall on the cloud due to unclear information.
