Cisco nextgen firewall

[tantony]

I’m using a trial Meraki MX68, I was wondering if anyone here uses Cisco next gen firewall?  Does it support AnyConnect vpn client?  Meraki doesn’t.  Does Cisco nextgen fw do AD or RADIUS authentication?

How is the interface?  Is it still Cisco CLI or GUI?  I’m thinking about getting one, so just want to know.

Meraki and NextGen Firewall (NGFW) , both are different segement. where you installing is very importan

Meraki, my point of view ok for Small/ Medium , but you are enterprise and large number of users. 

I prefer to use ASA-X or NGFW (FTD)

ASA-X - has cli and ASDM ( GUI)

FTD - Limited CLI and more of GUI based configuration.

Both support VPN support.
