Cisco doesn't recommend FirePower (to us) !

After several years of fighting we have received an e-mail from Cisco where they told us that they agree with our proposal to migrate our firewalls to other ngfw vendor (such as Palo Alto or CheckPoint).

Our background is easy, we have several FMCs and FTDs in our company and we have huge problems with them. When we count number of TAC cases just last 2 years, we have 1 case opened every 2 weeks. Some of them are affecting traffic, some of them are just cosmetic issues. But with the most expensive ngfw solution on the market, I should not have a feeling that I am Beta tester.

In their officall e-mail they agreed with us that next 6 months there won't be any significant improvement (not even planned 6.6 will fix our issues) and therefore they cannot ensure the stability of our platform.

Congratulation Cisco, maybe they already decided that FP is causing them so much reputation and financial damage, that they will end with it.

Hopefully, because with all the information about upcoming 6.6, I don't see a future here.
