Only with this solution may UTM be used at work
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Cisco Secure Firewall from other similar products?
What makes this product unique is that it may be used in any environment. The old idea of safeguarding a corporation is significantly different from today's understanding of protecting an individual. Since it connects to the network via Cisco Firewall, this tool is crucial for remote work regardless of where it is situated. An administrator may also control the policy, therefore this is a feature highly appreciated by administrators.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
If UTM is installed on the client's system and remains there, it can be used both within and outside of a business. The browser's administrative panel allows the administrator to specify the policy. The consequence is that I believe it is feasible to manage operations without having to set up each PC separately, if necessary. You'll get used to it after a while. For the past few months, we have been filtering web traffic with our internal UTM. A big problem arose as a result, as the firm was not effectively managed outside the corporation. With Cisco Firewall, we can use ours company's terminal with confidence.
What do you dislike most about this product?
A user may be confused by the lack of obvious distinctions between DNS Security Essentials, DNS Security Advantage, and SIG Essentials. Throughout the lecture, I was asked, "What should we do?" However, I found it challenging to understand the comparison chart.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
If you wish to work remotely from home, it's important to have a company-issued terminal at home. Take a closer look at this UTM, whether you're switching from an existing UTM or looking for a security system that allows for telecommuting, for example. Teleworking would be made more secure since UTM regulations may be applied even in an external environment. Teleworking (telecommuting) to become more popular, the removal of dangers caused by the Internet was of vital importance. Cloud-based devices are convenient since you may create policies for them at any moment.
