[c-nsp] ASA 5505 or Netscreen 5GT - maturity?

[jacob c]

No meshing. Just running running tunnels to a central site. Also, I haven't decided what the central site ASA box should be. I need to figure that out. We're looking at 8 remotes sites  and one head office with about 25 users at the remote sites. I will only go with one vendor for all the boxes.

I had nightmares last year trying to get Netscreens (NS-50's and
ISG-2000's) and ASA 5020's to talk IPSEC reliably to one another,
spending much time with CTAC AND JTAC and trying many versions of ASA
code - either vendors boxes were rock solid talking to themselves
though...

I am seriously contemplating using ASA 5505 boxes for the remote sites this time. I will have a total of 8 sites with about 25 users at each site.
