Has anyone on Nanog had any hands on experience with the lower end of
new SRX series Junipers? We're looking to purchase two new firewalls, and I'm debating going with SSG series or to make the jump to the SRX
We've had GREAT success with SRX210, SRX240 and SRX650 boxes in the past 3-4 months. There has been some issues I'll admit but they were all fixed either in service releases or actual JunOS upgrades. I believe that most of the issues you hear about were in the 9.x JunOS releases or at least that was my experience...

SSG though is phasing out. 8months ago while I was looking for these solutions more closely, I had decided to stay with SSG, which was good for next 3-4 years. However I believe probabyl SRX is more reliable now, and moving from ScreenOS to Junos definitely is a learning curve but something that worth in long term.

input, especially about the learning curve jumping from ScreenOS to JunOS would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
