Cisco Secure IPS (NGIPS) Reviews

We use it for threat prevention.

It has increased our security posture and has contributed substantially to our security maturity by stopping threats.

• It has good intelligence.
• It does a great job at stopping threats.

In the next release I would like to see better reporting. I also find it's hard to act on the data it gives you.

The stability is excellent.

The scalability is excellent.

Technical support has been excellent.

The initial setup is complex. That's just the nature of that product. It's a really advanced product so it takes a lot of technical knowledge to implement it.

We used a reseller. 

We have definitely seen ROI, but I can't quantify it.

Get a good demo to test it out or do a proof of concept to see if it it's what you're looking for.

I rate it an eight out of ten. Eight because it's good at detecting and stopping threats. Those other two points that would make it a ten are better usability and reporting.

Our primary use case is for the firewall and other security-related features.

I think the Cisco Firepower is the best firewall in the world and the other security features like AMP, IPS, and deep inspection packets.

The most valuable feature would be the IPS is very important in Cisco Firepower because I can configure deep configuration in IPS and tuning.

I would like to see the sanctions lifted so we could use the full solution and have the speed increased.

I have been using Cisco NGIPS for the past eight years.

The stability is evident and without issues.

The scalability is excellent. We have around one thousand two hundred users.

There is a very good community with CISCO.

The initial setup is straightforward.

The implementation can take anywhere from one day to a month for advanced tuning and firewall protection.

There is definitely a return on investment and is worth the money

When it comes to pricing you pay for a permanent licensing structure. One, three, and five-year options. There are no extra costs.

I would rate Cisco NGIPS a ten on a scale of one to ten.

I cannot state which version we are currently using. 

The interface and documentation are fine. 

The solution should contain the sandbox features which we find in Check Point. 

We have been using Cisco NGIPS for five years.

The solution is stable. 

I suppose the scalability is fine. 

The technical support is impressive.

The initial setup is fine. 

The solution is pricey, but worth it.

I rate Cisco NGIPS as an eight out of ten. 

People still aggregate these functions. We have files that only serve the purpose of NextGen NGIPS.  They have no rules that just allow pure source running and execution. We need regular firewall protection with NetGen. It's nice because we can lease both firewall and IPS system functions. We have both running on the network.

Apex IPaaS functions itself. You can create an intrusion rule that can be used for blocking purposes.

I like the security solutions from Cisco. They don't only give you the IPS itself, but you also have another database and other applications. 

They also have the security intelligence feature. This is one of the first software lines. This brings you the URLs, IPs, etc. This is even before the access control.

There are certain limitations that need to be addressed. 

I have been using the Cisco NGIPS for two years. 

Cisco support is very good. 

Positive

For the time being, I never received a complaint about a policy, but this may happen in the future. This can be due to consistent integration. 

They filter even between different companies and stuff and cloud providers and I've never received any complaints about the speed.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten. 

We use NGIPS for monitoring and firewall purposes. We have about 3,000 users. 

I like how NGIPS has everything in one console.  

The look and feel of the console could be updated. 

I have used NGIPS for about five years.

NGIPS is stable.

Setting up NGIPS was complex. We needed help from a Cisco specialist. 

I rate Cisco NGIPS eight out of 10 overall.
