Re: Firewall Vendors

Hello,



We just moved from Cisco FWSM’s to two PA 5050 firewalls.  We’re having
some issues with the GUI, which is what they recommend using, but we’re
used to the CLI.  When you purchased them, did they offer any type of
training or offer training?



I’d appreciate any information you could provide.



Thanks!

+1 for Palo Alto.   We’ve been using their 5020’s and are very happy with
them.   Threat protection and the free wildfire feature works great.  We’re
also using Procera units for bandwidth management and haven’t considered
eliminating them, at least not yet anyway.  HTH.

Palo Alto Networks.  We have had a pair of their next generation PA 5050s
and have been very happy with them.

Greetings,



At Maryville we currently use a Sonicwall firewall that is rapidly reaching
end of life and are starting to explore alternative vendors.  Curious which
vendors and models others are using for your firewall solution.  We also
use Packetshaper as part of our solution and we would consider a single
firewall device and eliminate the use of Packetshaper if we can find the
right solution.



Regards,



Rick.
