Well Sophos is tossing in a second SG 330 for "free" until the end of the year to sweeten the deal.

I've done lots of migrations FROM Cisco to various other products, so... Those are the ones I can speak to from the perspective or recent experience.

We currently have the SonicWall NSA240 * 2 for HA and iPrism for Webfiltering. We have increased our speed on Rogers fibre to 200 / 200 Mbs, the SonicWall is only 100 Mbs. Also the iPrism can't handle our 300 + users any more, delays when trying to open a web page. So I have been looking at Cisco ASA, upgraded SonicWall, Barracuda, Fortinet and Sophos SG 330. Cisco - looks very complicated to setup and $$$ SonicWall - probably ok with a separate Web filtering appliance, easy to install can upgrade current configs. Barracuda - looks good, Googling and reviews not so good. Fortinet - looks ok Sophos - looks good on paper and I already have Sophos endpoint protection, leaning towards this solution. Anyone that can give me real hands on recommendations? Thanks __________________________________ Stefan Jafs
