We switched to Fortinet a couple of years ago in front of our data center and have had good luck with it. It seems to handle things like RPC dynamic ports better than the previous solution. (Either that or it's easier to set up and the Security folks got it right.)

However we're just starting to roll it out and I haven't had an opportunity as a user to actually use one yet. I remember Palo Alto was in the running but wasn't (at the time anyway) able to delegate the way we needed for lots of independent units.
