What do you think of ASA

[asmith1972]

Hi We are looking for a internet perimeter firewall to protect our DMZ and then we'll probably be using ISA behind it as a web proxy.

Anyway we are not sure to go with Cisco ASA or a Checkpoint - just wondering what you guys thought or ASA - good bad? or do anyone of you have any experience of ASA and checkpoint and if so which is the best?

Only had experience with Cisco Firewall range, we have just gone to ASA Solution hand have been impressed with it so far.

I got the cisco ASA 5510, apart from the fact iam having trouble configing the nat (See thread 1289172), I am very happy with it the speed at which it handles the packets is very fast, i also have a sonicwall firwall compareable to the ASA 5510 on another DSL line, and the ASA 5510 beats it hands down.
