✔ Pros: Compact 1U appliance with 8 copper and 4 SFP ports for small and mid-sized offices and branches; Runs either ASA or FTD software, so threat prevention is available on the FTD image; Backed by Cisco Talos threat intelligence and managed through Firepower Management Center or Firepower Device Manager; 400,000 concurrent sessions with AVC enabled is adequate for small and mid-sized sites; Widely available through resellers at a lower price than newer Cisco Secure Firewall models
✘ Cons: Throughput is modest by current standards and is well below newer Cisco Secure Firewall models; Published throughput and connections-per-second figures conflict across Cisco and reseller sources, so sizing requires verification; Port set is 1GbE only, with no 10GbE or higher uplinks; Some reseller listings mark the model end-of-life, so verify support status with Cisco before purchase; Fixed hardware with no field-expandable modules limits growth
Est. Price: $3,983 - $8,409
