Re: Firewall Vendors

+1 on Palo Alto as well.  We have been running a cluster of 5060s for a
couple of years.  We have been using their application-id feature to group
p2p apps and block/shape accordingly.  We have also used this feature to
better handle bandwidth needs when IOS updates are released.  Because of
this, we got rid of our bandwidth shaper altogether.

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.
