+1 for Palo,  We are just implementing them and will be pulling out our ASA and Packeteer.  Watch out for their support 
structure.  Their "Premium Support" means they will ship the parts out the next day.   You will receive them the 
following day. (2 day turnaround).    Not a true NBD.   They also have a "Super Duper Premium Support" that has 4 hour 
turn around.

Subject: [SECURITY] Firewall Vendors

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.
