cisco gear (routers, switches, etc), I'd recommend staying with them.
Interop with other vendors' products can be a nightmare. We've got a few
clients with things like watchguards and when they have to talk to a cisco
box,
To compound the problem, carriers are slow to update their ANI lists, so if you
make a change to the CLID associated with a toll free number, it can take
several months to propagate, and in many cases has to be done at the carrier
level.
For instance, my previous employer had a PBX which
I concur with what both Bill and Jon have said. In addition, if you are a
smaller company, or have a smaller budget, I would consider purchasing from a

Depends on the phone system and the carrier. On a Nortel Norstar with
multiple PRI T-1s I use to admin the number displayed was the main
office/billing number. They started another company and wanted a different
number displayed for the new company. Called the LEC and had them make sure
it passed
That is not the response I expected. The NSA devices are pretty robust
and could handle anything we have here. I have not seen an ASA quote
yet, so I will have to wait for that.

The ASA don't seem much more complicated than the PIX.
That said, I have always been a fan of the Juniper Netscreen firewalls.
SonicWall isn't a bad choice, either.
What size network are you supporting in terms of bandwidth, number of
interfaces, and total devices?

The ASA is a natural progression from a PIX to me ... And I wouldn't say
very complicated to manage if you're already used to the way Cisco does
things ...
Pricewise, the Cisco ASA starts under $400 , that's comparable to Juniper,
and I guess Sonicwall too ... I haven't touched a sonicwall in 5
Quick comparisons for price from the CDW site :

Has anyone else looked at abandoning Cisco for their firewall? We have
PIXs and they are trying to get us to move to ASA now that they are
phasing out. The ASA is very expensive and from what I hear, very
complicated to manage.
