Sonicwall NSA 4500

["Kellogg, Brian D." <bkellogg () SBU EDU>]

We are getting close to a decision point on our firewall upgrade.  I
wanted to ask the group for anyone's experiences with Sonicwall's newer
NSA firewall.  We have run PIX firewalls for years without serious
issues, but I am very interested in the added security features the NSA
firewalls from Sonicwall offer at a much lower price point than Cisco.
My preference is to have separate boxes for separate tasks, but since
that cannot be a reality here due to budget Sonicwall seems to fit the
bill when it comes to gateway AV, VPN, and IPS services.  Still on the
fence though...

 

 

 

Thank you,
