former firepower customer... I guess we'll see.

I can see them shipping a really cool-looking whitepaper detailing FTD, Amp, and Splunk... but actually operating it will feel similar to driving a 20 yr old salt state jeep wrangler on the autobahn.

Oh god those firepowers we bought were so bad. The controller webpage needed to control our pair needed something like 32GB of ram just to load.

Using fortigates now, far happier with them.

But it's not just the firewall level, they were so bad it made us reevaluate our core switches and I don't think we've bought a cisco switch for at least 2 years.
