best option is to go with UTM-1 appliance. It has no user limit. All you
need extra is to move the license for secureclient (if you use secure
client and not securemote for remote access)
But the UTM Edge appliance can also be configured for no user limit, correct?
My great hesitation is that there is a big price difference:
* UTM-1: $7500 for the UTM-1 450
+ $1200/year for SmartDefense subscription
* UTM Edge: $2000 for the unlimited/wired version
+ $$600/year for SmartDefense subscription
That's based on the Checkpoint price list.
So obviously, the UTM-1 is a whole lot more expensive. What do I get for
that extre $5500 purchase price???
Are you kidding? Ever seen the hardware? The edge is a tiny little box
much like a SOHO router. And not much more CPU at that.
I would not even dream of using an Edge to do anything like AV scanning or
so. Then again. I do not like to do this inside any Check Point component.
