We have been working with the firewall for years
What do you like best about the product?
More than 7 years ago the task was to replace a shared infrastructure consisting of several firewalls and network accesses, some of which were simple devices without next-gen functions or modern ones such as ATP, botnet protection, etc. Since I had only just started the position, I was familiar with the entire structure and data streams completely unknown. Unfortunately, my predecessors didn't do a particularly good job in terms of documentation.
The observation mode made it easy to analyze the current data stream and plan initial optimizations and detect weak points and security gaps. This made it possible to build in parallel and switch directly. Afterwards, all deficiencies could be eliminated in small steps. Despite the many firmware updates with some architectural changes over the many years, the basic operation has not changed and updates were possible without support except once (an old configured network was not removed correctly). Changing the hardware was extremely easy, just import a backup of the old one, wire everything up and off we went. Otherwise, daily operations are very quiet and give me a lot of freedom for other tasks.

What do you dislike about the product?
The configuration software is only available for Windows and TINA Tunnel is not available for mobile devices. Until IPv6 is fully implemented, only the rocky path remains with IPSec-IKEv2 with increased administrative effort. This is not so easy compared to connecting FAT clients.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Except for a second firewall (for UCM), it is the only authenticator, access point, network protection and router we have. The configuration is logical and easy after a short training period. This creates more time for other activities.
