The next generation functionality is a real plus.  For example, you could block RDP instead of 3389.  Useful when 
people try to get around your block.

Subject: [SECURITY] Juniper SRX Firewall

We are currently using a pair of Juniper NetScreen 5400 and are thinking about a replacement. I've seen a lot of 
positive feedbacks on the PaloAlto firewall on the list. But it also comes with a big price tag. Comparatively Juniper 
SRX is much affordable. Just wondering if anyone out there used or are still using SRX, and how do you like it? 
Especially for those who used both, how do you compare them? Any feedback is appreciated.

Thanks.
