RE: smb firewall recommendation

[joeuser]

We're staying away from Sonicwall also, not because of Sonicwall, but
because of Dell.
I second the Fortinet suggestions, as this is what our rep suggested to
us.
This is what we are going with from now on.

Regards,
joeuser - Still looking for the 'any' key...

Re: smb firewall recommendation

[Adam Greene]

Hey Jimmy,

I second (or third or fourth) the Sonicwall recommendation. I'm a Cisco 
guy myself, and love to deploy ASA5505's but the Sonicwalls are solid, 
less expensive, and easy for almost any IT person to administer (unlike 
the Cisco which requires more specialized skills).


Not much experience with support; I like the product though.

Thanks,
Adam

I've used Sonicwalls, and currently have a TZ100 in a small remote
office. It works very well and has given me no trouble. The old
complaint was that their support was horrible. Now that they are owned
by Dell, I have no idea what the support situation is like. YMMV.

We have recently moved to a FortiGate. I really like it, so I recommend
that you check them out as well.

Last, you can always go really cheap and get pfSense or ClearOS, or some
other software-based firewall.

Hi All,

  


I'm in the market for a firewall for a small office with les that 15
users.  I was looking at the Sonicwall TZ series but people are
telling me to stay away from Sonicwall.  Has the product improved?
Any other recommendations.  Would like the UTM features.

  


Thanks,

  


Jimmy

I've got a dozen TZ series Sonicwalls across the country all connected to
my main office.  They run great.
