      Keeping to the same basic strategy, I'd want Palo Alto in there. You can do the HA like the SonicWall, but far more secure and enterprise grade. The SonicWall is really an SMB device, which is fine as you are an SMB, but as a financial institution, I might be wanting something a little more serious.

      I've heard you mention Palo Alto before. Any reason why you suggest them? (I will also do some research).

      Industry leader, they basically invented the UTM idea. Top enterprise player.

        They look like they're a lot cheaper than SonicWall too..

            huh - that would be amazing if that's the case. Make sure you size it right for your situation.

              What Sonicwall and Palo Alto are you comparing? The models might be the comparison for me.

                Well, I looked at prices on ebay (which I know is not the best place to do a comparison) but people tend to price things relative to how expensive they were or currently are worth. I should have just said that the Palo Alto hardware appears cheaper than the SonicWall hardware. I have no idea how much support or service subscriptions cost.

                I know that our SonicWall NSA 3600 hardware was around $4,500 for each of the two units, then there was a subscription and maintenance cost which was probably a couple thousand combined. Not sure how much it costs to get support or subscriptions on the Palo Alta devices. Maybe it does cost more than SonicWall after all the other things that would need to be purchased. I have no bloody idea.

                  I don't know if that's true. Pricing on eBay are often insane. People asking $1,000 for a device worth $20 just because they hope that someone is confused.

                      hahahaha you're so right. I guess really, it was just a comparison starting point. Probably not a good idea, but it's the only way I could quickly get a $ figure.
