What should IT buyers look for in the Cisco ASA 5500?
Before purchasing a Cisco ASA firewall, companies should carefully analyze their security and performance requirements.
Check firewall and VPN throughput
Maximum throughput rates vary significantly depending on the model. For large VPN environments or high data loads, a higher-performance ASA 5500-X appliance is recommended.
Consider the licensing model
Many security features, such as IPS, URL filtering, or Advanced Malware Protection, are license-dependent. Appropriate licensing should be planned for early on.
Evaluate interfaces and expandability
Models with 10-Gigabit ports or additional expansion options offer greater future-proofing for growing networks.
Use refurbished devices as a cost-effective alternative
Refurbished devices can offer significant cost savings, particularly for proven enterprise firewalls such as the Cisco ASA 5510, Cisco ASA 5525-X, or Cisco ASA 5545-X.
