Well I guess my requirements would be to continue to do what the ASA 5500 does 
and what the Ironport WSA does.

​While I am quite familiar with what those devices can do, I am not familiar 
with how you are using them.

What you've outlined above is, at best, a goal -- not a set of requirements.

How many devices are we talking about?  What do you need them to do?  For how 
many people?  In how many locations?  Supporting what type of bandwidth?  And 
what other types of services?​   At what maximum cost?  Managed by how many 
people?

limited to a few personnel and they use the AnyConnect client.)

The Palo Alto devices are quite stellar, but do require a shift in how you 
think about device configuration.

I'm still more inclined to recommend Fortinet devices, from a bang-for-the-buck 
perspective.

Of course, you haven't actually told us what your requirements are, so this is 
just another name-your-preferred-vendor exercise.

What is the leader in Firewall’s currently.
(NextGen type firewall.)
We have some that are saying Palo Alto is the only way to go but just wondering 
from the list what everybody else if feeling good about these days.
