We work with many vendor's firewalls and our current "favorites" are Palo A=
lto Networks - they're very full-featured and easy to manage.
www.paloaltonetworks.com
I don't want to get all "sales-weasel" on you but we can help if you want m=
ore info as we are one of their premier partners.
P.S. - we're also Juniper and Cisco partners too but we prefer the Palo Alt=
os for firewalls these days.
Let me know how I can help

Subject: Firewalls - Ease of Use and Maintenance?
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 smal=
l networks ( 50 nodes at one site, 50 odd at another, and maybe 20 at anoth=
er. I have worked with Cisco Pix, ASA, Netscreen, and Checkpoint (Nokia), a=
nd each have strong and not as strong features for ease of use. Like everyo=
ne, I'm resource challenged and need an easy solution to stand up and opera=
te.
Feel free to ping me offline - and thank you for the assistance.
