Pix 515 vs. ASA 5500

Hello,

We try to price a PIX 515 R DMZ model today with our local provider in Madrid. They said they still could get the 515 but would rather sell us the ASA 5510 because according to them Cisco is fazing out the PIX line.

Questions.

  1. Is this true?
  2. If I can configure the 515 without too many problems how easy/hard will the ASA 5510 be.
  3. Are there real advantages to going with the ASA?
  4. Would I be dumb to sick with the PIX?

Like I said we have certain experience with the PIX line and it has been our company standard. We don't have too much time to get trained on new equipment so we dont know who to believe.

Thanks,

Pedro
