I use several here for HQ firewall/AV/spam and smaller units for site to site VPN. You can also do advanced stuff by CLI, although I rarely have a need. The CLI is easy to use, too. I like the "backrev" firmware option where a firmware update can be undone if needed (haven't needed it though). Tom

When I evaluated multiple different firewalls (sonicwall, fortinet, firebox, etc) the FG came out on top.The FG folks got me a an eval unit, and I fell in love by comparison. The cost for the threat/web filtering is much less that using another product like websense. <SPAN class=301113817-12032009> <SPAN class=301113817-12032009> <HR tabIndex=-1> From: Sam Cayze [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, March 09, 2009 8:43 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Site to Site VPN? <SPAN class=269334015-09032009>Steve, the Fortinet 60B looks perfect, I like the PC Card for EVDO card failover - which we will have avail and utililize.
