We had training and professional services bundled in .

Interested in what issues you are experiencing with the GUI, been smooth sailing for us.

Hello,

We just moved from Cisco FWSM’s to two PA 5050 firewalls.  We’re having some issues with the GUI, which is what they 
recommend using, but we’re used to the CLI.  When you purchased them, did they offer any type of training or offer 
training?

I’d appreciate any information you could provide.

Thanks!

+1 for Palo Alto.   We’ve been using their 5020’s and are very happy with them.   Threat protection and the free 
wildfire feature works great.  We’re also using Procera units for bandwidth management and haven’t considered 
eliminating them, at least not yet anyway.  HTH.

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.
