I'm using Fortinet (smaller bandwidth, fewer people). But it has been good to 
me. Works good. Support has been good, when I needed it (very seldom). Filter 
works well for us also.

Subject: [NTSysADM] Firewalls / Web filtering

I'm going around in circles trying to make a decision on a new Firewall and Web 
filtering appliance.

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
