CX functionality lost after migration to Firepower

[miguelsu]

Hello there,

We've migrated from CX to Firepower on a ASA5515 forced by end of support by Cisco. We have lost some functionality the customer was using on CX. One of them is the Schedule URL Filter, they allowed to navigate users to some blocked websites at certain hours. Is there anything that we can do to have this again? For example an automatic task to change profiles?

Is there any other solution we can use?

It is very frustrating to migrate to a better product just to find that it lacks functions.

Unfortunately Firepower does not currently offer that feature.

The Cisco Web Security Appliance (WSA) does offer it.

Hello Marvin, Thanks for your answer. What is the chance that Cisco would withdraw this product (WSA) in near future?

Thanks
