Author infoRatingReview Summary
I.T. Manager at a legal firm with 51-200 employees3.5I find this a robust, stable solution for managing Cisco firewalls with excellent support, despite initial setup complexity. My main concerns are frequent update failures requiring manual CLI and the lack of child-domain support.
Information Security Engineer at a financial services firm with 5,001-10,000 employees5.0Having used Sourcefire/Cisco 3D for seven years, I find its signature accuracy, Firesight, and vulnerability data excellent. Deployment, stability, and scalability were issue-free, with great support. I'd appreciate better SIEM integration and scheduling options.
