Curation Review

  • ✔ Pros: 17 Gbps FW+AVC and NGIPS throughput on FTD, a large step up from the 1000 series; 2 million concurrent sessions and 130,000 new connections/sec with AVC on FTD; 8 x 1G RJ-45 plus 8 x 1/10G SFP+ ports give 10GbE uplink options; 8 Gbps IPsec VPN (up to 11 Gbps with offload) with up to 3,000 VPN peers; Runs FTD or ASA software and is managed through Firewall Management Center or Firewall Device Manager
  • ✘ Cons: High cost for the class, with new-unit listings around $17k to $22k and list prices above $65k; New connections/sec on FTD (130,000) is less than half the ASA figure (300,000); Threat prevention and support require separate paid licensing; Reseller listings mix ASA and FTD figures (some quote 45 Gbps firewall throughput) that do not match Cisco's datasheet, so the software image must be checked; Pricing varies widely and some listings are out of stock, so current availability and end-of-sale status should be verified with a Cisco partner
  • Est. Price: $16,737 - $22,347
