Astaro or Checkpoint?

Question

Hello everyone,I need a suggestion, I have to replace a Zywall 5 with a betterproduct. My experience with Zyxel is not good, low performance and toomany false positive with IDP filter. I have read some datasheet ofAstaro (120/220) and Checkpoint (UTM-1 Edge Appliance) products, inyour opinion which is better? These are the feature I want:-          Router/Firewall-          At least 4 port for LAN / DMZ (6 if possible)-          IDP/IDS functions (if possible also antivirus function)-          Web Content Filter function-          At least 5 VPN connectionregardsexch

WatchGuard X550e devices with UTM are going to offer a better path.

If you really need 6 different DMZ Networks you will need a x1250E device, if you just need 6 DMZ IP addresses, well, they really are not a DMZ if they are in the same network as your LAN.

A WG firebox unit will provide LAN, WAN, DMZ network jacks, you assign rules based on paths between those networks - they are real networks, meaning that the DMZ is its own network, not just an IP inside the LAN.

Take a look at Juniper Networks SRX 210.It has all the features you need and even more. Price is reasonable.In my opinion much better than Astaro or CP UTM-1 Edge.--RegardsVit
