We performed a comparison between Cisco IOS Security and Lumu based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Intrusion Detection and Prevention Software (IDPS) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Cisco is head-and-shoulders above all of the competition when it comes to technical support."
"The most valuable feature is endpoint protection."
"Previously, anyone in the organization would see any data point in the wall. They could just go and connect their machine with that data point and could access the network. But now, even if someone came and tried that, they will not be given access."
"We use Cisco IOS Security mostly for routers to route off the firewall. It's a next-generation device."
"The product is easy to use."
"The solution effectively integrates with Umbrella."
"We are able to filter a lot of traffic especially when a lot of the traffic is in layer 7."
"What I have used the most and received the most benefit from is the IPsec technology."
"The context provided by the tool is very complete, it includes the miter matrix, playbooks, links, hashes, and much more."
"It's been helpful for overall extended network visibility."
"Lumu protects against threats immediately and handles them in time."
"You can access external links, playbooks, MITRE Matrix, and a lot of information."
"Most of it is automated, so I do not have to watch it to get alerts."
"Cisco is a scalable product, but it is expensive compared to other vendors."
"We faced significant challenges related to licensing issues, particularly when licenses expire."
"In the next release of this solution, we would like to see support for the 100BT and 7000 models."
"An area for improvement in Cisco IOS Security is the performance because it's not as stable sometimes. There's also some latency in the solution, which could be improved. Cisco IOS Security integrates with other solutions, but you'll encounter many errors after integration, so this is another area for improvement. I'd like to see enhanced performance and a simplified setup in the next version of Cisco IOS Security."
"There could be a bit more functions on offer that could make it easier to use."
"Cisco very slowly introduces and implements the products, unlike other brands."
"Cisco IOS Security should improve its functionalities."
"The graphical user interface or the GUI could be better. Beginners can use some devices with the GUI, but some security devices are configured using CLI. It would also be better if it had its own Intrusion Protection Service and Intrusion Detection Service on the server."
"It would be good if we could access the physical logs."
"I am happy with the current features. However, one important one is to improve the reports."
"The integration with different vendors and endpoints could be improved."
"The reports need improvement."
"Nothing so far needs to be improved."
