I'm with Evan on the PIX. You just can't beat the reliability.=20

I have a lot of Sonicwalls out there, too. I've had a slew of software
and hardware problems with them, but the GUI makes it easy to configure.

I've used Cisco PIX's and Watchguard Firebox series extensively.  The
PIX is a better device IMO, but the Watchguard gives you some added
features, such as the ability to have a webblocker, built in logging (no
need to dump to syslog), an easier to use GUI (when compared to PDM on
the PIX).  There's a few other things you can license to make the
Watchguard more of an all-in-one as opposed to a firewall only like the
PIX's are.

I havn't used the new Firebox X series, but used the II/III and under
heavy load, I've had both models lock up on me, requiring hard reboot.
I'm more of a CLI guy, and the Watchguard's have no CLI, so keep that in
mind if you are a CLI type of guy.

Just want to get the illustrious list's opinion on firewalls out there.
We currently run a Netware product and are looking to replace it.
Opinions on firewalls? Either hardware or running on a server.=3D20
