Thoughts on the new Cisco ASA 5500 firewalls

I consult with a company that is currently in the process of purchasing a new Pix firewall failover pair. However, last week Cisco announced the new ASA 5500 series that should be available (according to Cisco) by the end of the month. I normally don't recommend going with anything that new, but for the about same price the ASA appears to have a much more robust feature set. What are your thoughts on the new ASA from Cisco? Would the additional features (IPS, AV, integrated VPN, active-active failover) be worth the risk of being on the cutting-edge? Has anyone on the list worked with one yet? Thanks, Chris _______________________________________________ firewall-wizards mailing list firewall-wizards () honor icsalabs com http://honor.icsalabs.com/mailman/listinfo/firewall-wizards
