<div>+1 Palo Alto</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We looked at the Sophos XG series as we also use Sophos on our end points. Can't remember what exactly, but it lacked some real networking functionality that I was hoping for.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I wanted something that wouldn't choke at 10G+</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We went with Palo Alto. We've swapped out ASA55xx series for Palo Alto PA5050's in an Active/Active cluster.</div>
<div><br>

<div>I keep finding new features everyday that makes me glad we got them!</div>
