Hi, I'm at a smaller company that wanted not only firewall capabilities but application level filtering. We went with the Palo Alto Networks. Story is the Palo Alto founder was formerly of Netscreen/Juniper. Anyhow. We've not had any issues with the PA500's that we use in our environment. They also just released a smaller unit (PA200) for small offices. Very easy to use/operate. My only complaint is the time it takes to commit changes. If you have any specific questions, shoot me an email. Hope that helps. Greg On 11/8/11 6:06 PM, "Jones, Barry" <BEJones@semprautilities.com> wrote:
Hello all. I am potentially looking at firewall products and wanted suggestions as to the easiest firewalls to install, configure and maintain? I have a few small networks ( 50 nodes at one site, 50 odd at another, and maybe 20 at another. I have worked with Cisco Pix, ASA, Netscreen, and Checkpoint (Nokia), and each have strong and not as strong features for ease of use. Like everyone, I'm resource challenged and need an easy solution to stand up and operate.
Feel free to ping me offline - and thank you for the assistance.
