If you're migrating from a newer ASA or FTD, Cisco provides a migration tool to make the process easier.

What do you dislike most about this product?

ASDM, which is now used to handle ASA, should be replaced with something more suitable. ASDM needs a fresh look, and for a better user experience, new UI, methods to use, settings, and other features should be added or built. The user interface can lag at times, which can be annoying.
