ASA Features and ease of usage

[Mohit Chauhan]

Hi all,

I am looking for a firewall which can do scheduled based filtering to certain traffic like Netflix at certain times of the day and things like controlled access to Youtube, and other stuff like that.

I was looking at Meraki which is fairly simple to configure and manage.

Do we have a similar options available on ASA side? And is it that easy to configure and manage? I have very limited hands on firewall and that too not in recent times.

Thanks.

You could do this in ASA using timebased FQDN ACLs but there is a limitation in ASA as it does not support HTTPS and you cannot use wildcard masks (if I remember correctly).

A better option would be to use Firepower as this is a proper NGFW which can support URL filtering.
