We recently switched from Netscreen 50s to Zyxel ZyWall 35s (http://us.zyxel.com/web/product_category.php?PC1indexflag=20040908175941)
Starting with the Zywall 35 you get dual WAN ports for failover or load balancing. Pricing is good and you don’t have to pay maintenance fees for support or upgrades on the firewall. The only thing you pay extra for is licensing for AV, AS, IDP, Content Filtering (yearly), and VPN clients (1 time). Neil From: Jim S. Walters [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 23, 2008 8:08 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Firewall Systems I'm in the process of reviewing our firewall for possible conversion to another system. While we have been quite happy with the service our Checkpoint Firewall has provided over the years, the continued maintenance price increases leave me wondering if I'm getting a good value for the cost. While never having issues with breaches and the like is priceless, I thought I'd see what firewall systems other people use and which ones they are happy with. Other than supporting some mobile and remote users via VPN, a DMZ with internet accessible servers and the ability to support a future remote office, our needs are fairly modest.
