Has anyone played with their firewalls??? I have 2 in production and  
they are one of the best firewalls I have used. I dig them better than  
the ASA boxes.

We have a low end one of these and I’m fairly impressed with the  
feature set for the pricepoint. We did have issues with the UI  
stopping on a regular basis but a few updates later that went away.  
Our ERP vendor supplied us one for a permanent VPN for support - that’s  
been solid too.

The FW flavour of the month for me would have to be the offerings from  
Palo Alto Networks.
