Re: Next Generation Firewalls

[Manuel Amaral <Manuel.Amaral () OLIN EDU>]

Hi Tim,

We transitioned to Palo Alto from Checkpoint four years ago when our firewalls were up for replacement.  We’ve been 
very happy with the features and capabilities.  The biggest drawback is cost however, we haven’t regretted the decision.


Regards,
Manny

You may have seen that already, but I've used Juniper and Palo Alto.  For single HA firewall environment without a 
management server, I would go Palo Alto.



I'm not happy with Juniper's management servers (SPACE & NSM) in general.  It never seemed finished to me and then they 
just had some bad ways of doing things.



LOVED Check Point, but I have not seen an offering from them since the R75 time.  Their management was top notch.  But, 
you pay for it.

All,



Roane State Community College is in the process of reviewing next generation firewalls.  Since this is a significant 
investment, I would be interested in hearing from the community what you are using, your experience, why you made the 
choice and your satisfaction with the vendor chosen.



Thanks in advance for any feedback.



Regards,



Tim Carroll

Assistant Vice President and Chief Information Officer Information Technology Roane State Community College
