+1 for Palo's. Closing in on 2 years with a pair of 5060's. Highly recommend them, they have been awesome.

They have some abilities to packet shape, but certainly do not have the same granularity you can achieve in a dedicated 
box. This can probably be said for other features like web content filtering, however what functionality it does have 
suits our current requirements so it's working very well for us.

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.
