We are considering a pair of PA 5060's and it is good to hear that everyone who has them has had a positive experience. 
It sounds like the PA would also meet our needs for P2P blocking and minimal bandwidth shaping, allowing us to 
eliminate our PacketShaper. We would plan to roll training into the initial purchase, which would be provided by our 
reseller.

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.
