Hi Spiceheads,
We’re looking at potentially replacing our 6 year old Palo Alto 820 firewall and I’m wondering if there is a cheaper, yet just as secure option. We would prefer to stay with PA, but are open to looking at others.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
Thanks much.

Maybe the PA-455 depending on the specs but also Sophos are very good. On thing to look at is that with brands like Fortinet and Sophos who also have switches and AP’s they have a single pain of glass to manage them all
