We have been using Fortinet 1000as for the last 6 years. We are currently in a firewall RFP to replace these boxes and wonder if anyone out there can help. We are planning on having two firewalls in an HA configuration. We have about 1500 users on campus and about 2500 distance and commuter students. We have a 1 Gb internet connection. We are only looking to protect our edge. We are looking at the following options. Fortigate 1000cs Cisco ASA 5580s Palo-Alto 5020s Reading through the literature can be overwhelming with UTM firewalls. I'd just like to know if anybody is using one of these platforms and the pros and cons you see. Specifically, we are concerned about support and how the boxes perform as you turn on features, also usability. Thanks -- John Kaftan IT Infrastructure Manager Utica College
