Likelihood to Recommend	Cisco The Cisco [Firepower] 2100 [Series] is an easy sell for anyone looking. You already know Cisco excels in the security department, but now that firepower lives right on the box and inline with the rest of the firewall data flow you can save yourself a lot of time and headaches. Unless you cant quite afford Cisco's 2100 line, there's not much reason to go with the competition. Incentivized Verified User Read full review	Cisco No answers on this topic
Pros	Cisco For us, to power the whole system does scaling quite a bit. So we can definitely have a lot of room to grow if needed. The device can support a lot of way more than we need right now, but in the future, if we need more it seems to be a big pro of that. Also the support of Cisco, knowing that it's backed by Cisco definitely is good. You guys are the largest players in the market Incentivized Verified User Read full review	Cisco No answers on this topic
Cons	Cisco Cisco patches bugs quickly but patches are slow to install and reboot Smart licensing is getting better but still can be troublesome Some weird visual interface glitches that require clicking the same options a few extra times Incentivized Verified User Read full review	Cisco No answers on this topic
Return on Investment	Cisco It's keeping threats out like a firewall should. Definitely cost wise it is at a higher cost center than other alternatives. Especially when it comes to licensing. Cisco is generally the higher, for perhaps, definitely for good reason, right? I mean, definitely positive impact as far as working as it should that's at cost.
