The prevailing opinion on /r/networking is that cisco is trading on reputation and position, like a tank rolling forward with all the crew dead. Competitors matched their features years ago and cisco has been unable to innovate due to crippling technical debt in legacy product lines (build system is: find Nancy and ask her to compile with her version of this feature) and glaring deficiencies with their Firepower successor line. That's my potted sentiment analysis, anyway
