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

[jacob c]

I appreciate all the responses. It is actually "politics" that is forcing me to review the ASA boxes. The company already has some PIX firewalls in other internal areas and it was suggested to take a look at these boxes and see if they are a better option. Politics.
   
  Thanks,

  We have quite a few ASAs (5505s, 5510s, and 5520s) and are quite happy 
with them. No stability problems here.

If you decide on the ASA 5505, make sure you license it properly. The 
base model is limited to 10 users (50- and unlimited user licenses are 
available) and 3 VLANs w/o high availability support.

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.
