If you are looking at an appliance, I like Watchguard, because they are easier to work with than some of them You have great features, a relatively easy to use interface, and their support is really good. If you have the maintenance, patches and updates will auto download to your box. Kinda slick!

We currently run a Netware product and are looking to replace it. Opinions on firewalls? Either hardware or running on a server.
