"The main advantages to Cisco are the scale, the integration, the training, and the possibility of finding somebody to work with."
"This is a stable solution."
"The initial setup was straightforward and, because we only need intrusion detection and prevention, we needed only about four hours to deploy it."
"The VPN and the filtering features are the most valuable. Its VPN is very strong, and its services are very nice. The main problem in India is the service. There are not enough Check Point and Fortinet Firewall services, but for this product, the service is very good."
"The most important feature of this solution is the SLAs."
"It works right out of the box. You just have to enable it and you can start working."

"The inclusion of bandwidth management features would improve this product."
"The aspect of private party integration solutions could be improved."
"The user interface and configuration can be improved."
"Multi properties could be added to the solution in the future to make it better."
"Its graphical user interface could be improved because not everybody is technical. There is a lack of knowledge, and they can give some training for this solution."
"Regarding technical support, they could use more engineers."
"I would like to see faster automatation."
