Replacement for PIX 515E?

Question

The PIX 515E with DMZ has been good to us but it is getting a bit long in the tooth. We do not need the DMZ and we do not need failover. Just need to do Cisco client VPN and Point to point VPN. Inside clients number less than

100, and we are currently not running any public websites. Just want to be able to run a good solid GUI (ASDM 7?) and fast processor. We have v7 on the PIX515E but if you turn on any logging it crashes - even with the max RAM it is not enough.

Which Cisco firewall product should I be looking at to replace the PIX515E?

Thanks!

Hi, Google cannot find this one - it wants to know if I meant "MX"

No, definately SRX.  if we are recomending outside of Cisco (which I do for firewalls), I'd go with a FortiGate-80C to replace it for the size you list. A bitcheaper than the Juniper solution, although you can get much biggerFortiGates too. You'd need to change out your VPN client for either solution, sincethe cisco software looks specificly for cisco vendor at the far end. All these systems are Enterprise class devices, which generally getsold through partners familure with them. Juniper in particular onlywants 'face-to-face' sales as they term it.
