Solid product, but still leaves much to be desired. The interface is very clunky and requires opening multiple browser tabs to be able to look at various pieces of configuration data simultaneously.

Dislike

Existence of FlexConfig. Lack of main stream EIGRP configuration. This product replaced the Cisco's old firewall product line, but wasn't actually a true replacement. The UI is clunky and ultimately Secure Firewall lacks CLI capabilities.
