Ok, I inherited 2 x Sonicwall 2400. One is primary, the other secondary for failover. Plus we have a SRA 1600 for VPN. I am currently paying around £2000 a year in Sonicwall support and license costs combined.
Anyway, I am looking at streamlining the devices and costs, plus I do find the Sonicwall 2400 a pain to administer, and support can also be hit and miss.
So looking at alternatives that are atleast cheaper for license costs. I have to factor in we use a third party support company who spec’d the systems prior to me and went overkill based on my findings so far. I want 2 units, primary and hot failover version that also do vpn.
So far Fortigate look good, and also keen on Meraki as using their AP and love how you configure them but no experience on their gateway stuff eg MX100.
Any advice appreciated.

Barracuda.com . You will always wonder why you didn’t use these in the first place. Easy to understand interface and great tech support.
Since Dell bought out SonicWall the support has gone downhill.
Hmm, you mean like the Barracuda NG Firewall F100 - hmmmm, could be an option. Wonder what their yearly license support costs are?
