I have used PIX's in the past.  We use a mix of Pix's and Sonicwall
appliances.  Sonicwall does 90% of what a PIX does at half the cost.

Hello all,

I am going to upgrade in the near future a network security course. The
course is looking at network security from a hardware point of view, using
at the present time PIX firewalls and router IOS security features.
I am very familiar with the PIX, and am aware that they will be unsupported
soon (2012?). They are replaced with ASAs. Is there really many people using
ASAs out there? The Cisco routers IOS seem to be able to fulfil most of the
functions anyway.
Do you know of other platform offering the same or similar functions? 

Cheers

Hervé Carpentier
