Pulling on the leash makes me cringe when I see it happen.
Try reading a few guides/videos from this guy, he's milking his celebrity status but actually he does some really great stuff with dogs, you don't have to buy gadets or tools to control your dog

If they're averse to paying, there's often good deals on our Webroot stuff on Newegg and Amazon. You can buy keycodes and stockpile them - they don't start using up their time until you install using them for the first time.
Not in the UK market 
I would not mind buying a stash of home licenses though.
The problem is, how do you define "snappy"
I just set-up a couple of £400 HP desktops (I5s, 4GB of Ram, Evo 250 SSD) and they feel like greased lighting.
Also, although the specs & benchmarks of Apple gear does score highly, in live production, they generally lose out to their Windows equivalents for price to performance.

@Breffni-Potter They use a high-end PCIE express SSD that's actually supposed to get closer to 2GB/s.
That's nuts!
Who needs THAT kind of IO
My brain is trying to work out how the numbers are that high on the macbook pro. Hmmm

5GB/s

Could you run that and post a screenie of the numbers?

I just tried the console on my machine and it is slower than usual. In fact it timed out after I logged in and I had to login again. Let me investigate further and see what's up.
Thanks, the console has been like that since at least September sadly.
The public facing sites have generally been quick.
Just the consoles that are really slow.

But I wish Ubiquiti would make non POE managed switches
LOL, again but... they do. And we use them.
....Where? I spent a good 30 minutes on their site trying to find them.
The Webroot console is generally slow for me and has been for months. I just put it down as one of those things.
Bit off topic.

Watch the video, skip ahead to 30 seconds in to watch "Cysco" sales reps being beat up...
I stand corrected then
Might end up playing with these boxes at some point.
So VPN is fine, the OP is just missing content filtering.
@scottalanmiller said:
Confirmed, Ubiquiti definitely does SSL VPN.
Link for reference Mine are saying they don't

@scottalanmiller said:
pfSense is better than SonicWall, IMHO, but why not just use Ubiquiti? At $95, you really can't beat it.
Content Filtering & SSL VPN are what Ubiquiti currently lacks. (unless they have a box which does it)

I don't think I have a big budget if they approve buy a new one Firewall.
Surely in the proposal for a new firewall, you tell them what budget is required as part of the proposal? Otherwise they'll feel misled.
I think what you might want to think about is whether you want to do asset management or asset monitoring.
With asset monitoring, your scanner checks for HDD space, newly installed programs, updates, event log messages, anything you might want to watch out for, you can also get a report if device X has not been seen on the Lan for X number of days.
So although we often call it asset management, actually most IT guys would want to use asset monitoring more than management if they could.

@BRRABill I've only used the home version for $5/month per computer. This page has info on the business version:
https://www.backblaze.com/business.htmlI know I'm really late to this - but you pay $5/month ($60/yr) and their business plan for unlimited workstation backup is less, at $50/yr? are you going to switch?
Business plan has a minimum 5 seat order. Unless they've changed that recently.
Umm, for those type of stand-alone deployments, do you need a full time controller?
