URL filtering impact

[draganzec]

Hi,

we would like to implement URL filtering in our enterprise environment without SSL decryption.

Can you please share your opinions and experiences about URL filtering impact on firepower resources and traffic itself?

Thank you.

Hi,

There is no bigger impact on resources or traffic.
The most common issues are:
unknown url's.
problems with url categories false-positivs.
no block page on HTTPS traffic.

So it depend on what you want, if you expect a simpler on the firewall url filter then go for Firepower.
If you need more advanced/robust features go for the WSA.
