Thanks for all your information, I finally decided on 2 FortiGate 300C-BDL with FortiCare and FortiGuard, should have them up and running in the new year.

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
