Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center Reviews

The solution is quite scalable.

The stability is great.

The user management and protection in-network access should be improved upon.

The initial setup is a bit complex.

There is no technical support available. We're based in Iran and cannot directly work with them due to sanctions.

The solution is stable. It's reliable and easy to control. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze.

I have found the solution to be scalable. If you would like to expand it, you can do so.

We have more than 500 people using the solution right now.

We've never dealt with Cisco technical support. I cannot speak from direct experience about how helpful or responsive they are. 

We are in Iran. We are unable to take advantage of technical support due to sanctions.

We used Fortigate solutions in the past as well. It's pretty reasonably priced and economical, which is why we used it. 

I found that the initial setup process was a bit complex. It wasn't exactly simple or straightforward. 

The deployment has been ongoing. The initial setup was about two months ago and we're continuing to develop and deploy this solution.

We have four people that are capable of handling deployment and maintenance tasks. 

We used a consultant that assisted us with the implementation process.

I'm not sure if we've really seen any ROI at this time. 

We have a permanent license. there aren't set times in which we have to re-subscribe to the solution in order to keep using it. There aren't any other additional costs either.

We compared so many options and we decided, due to the features, that we could take advantage of this product and therefore selected this one.

We're just a customer and an end-user. We don't have a business relationship with Cisco.

I'd rate the solution at a seven out of ten.

I use Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center to manage my perimeter firewalls and my data center firewalls.

The most valuable feature of this solution is the intrusion prevention system.

The initial setup could be simplified.

The interface is an area that could be improved.

Monitoring live events or event logging needs improvement as well.

We are using version 664.

It's a pretty stable product.

We have 20 people using this solution in our organization.

The support is good. They are always good.

I would rate technical support an eight out of ten.

We also use Fortinet products.

The initial setup is midway complex and straightforward.

The deployment in a large environment took a week approximately.

We have a team of two staff members to maintain and deploy this solution.

We completed the installation in-house. We did not use an integrator or reseller.

I would rate Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center an eight out of ten.

We use this solution to protect our servers. 

The firewall itself is valuable as is the applied policy inside the firewall. All companies are looking to protect their data centers from unapproved access or server misuse and this product works.

I think the IOS and the deploy option could be improved. They should also consider working on the batteries. It's not helpful most of the time. Cisco's competitors have more features and they give more thought to their solutions.

I've been using this solution for four years. 

The stability of this product is good. 

The solution is scalable, if I need to add users or add licenses, it's flexible.

Cisco technical support is good. Let's just say that the support is very helpful. Maybe the most helpful support in the network. 

The initial deployment was quite complicated and I believe it could be simplified. 

Cisco products are generally quite expensive. 

From my perspective, it's a true commander and I like Cisco. All the treatment is available on the internet.

I rate this solution a nine out of 10.
