Looking for a solid Firewall with IPS/IDS and will support 50-100 users. Most at HQ but some remote so VPN access is a +.

I have a few in mind and quoted currently but would like to see what else is offered out there and recommended for us.

Thats a bit generic, pretty much any UTM is ‘solid’ and will have an SSL VPN client and so site to site IPSec

I wouldnt be choosing a piece of infrastructure based on that wish list

All the usual suspects, Sophos, Fortinet, Meraki, Watchguard etc will all meet your needs but its like going to buy a car and asking for one thats reliable and has space for 4 people. You arent narrowing it down much…

Example - you could say that Sophos beats Fortinet on having a better integrated endpoint solution but Fortinet makes 2FA VPN a 2 click process but charges a lot more for tokens than anyone else etc etc. The list goes on

StormShield appliance does the job and price is acceptable for security it gives.

Love my Sonicwalls. I have about a dozen, support is amazing, upgrades are super easy, rock solid. I’ll never change.

We can do all that stuff. Maybe with our Free Package, even. Hit me up w/any questions.

I’ve been pleased with my Watchguard experiences, having used them since the original firebox, as well as smaller units like the xtm/23/25/36/33 and the newer larger mxxx series.

Fortigate or Palo Alto… no other options in my opinion… seen them tried and tested and both brilliant
