The paid for version provides full UTM capabilities and you can upgrade at anytime. By my stats, I see about 70% of all emails getting blocked as spam at the firewall (no false positives yet) and then of the remaining 40% that hit my email server, another 15% get blocked by the RBL/exchange anti-spam features.You can download the free version of FortiClient and use SSL or IPsec for free. It forces the firewall to process all emails, block what it does and then send it to my email server where I block was it misses. It doesn't have a RBL blacklist feature (like using ). One complaint I do have about the watchguard UTM bundle (there are more, but this one pisses me off most) is that the SMTP anti-spam proxy needs work. I don't know if the others do it too, but its nice to know that they will replace the firewall hardware through 2015 for the x550e's as long as I keep the support agreement running. I can't say how they are at enterprise performance requirements, but for our SMB, they seem to be a viable option.īTW, They stopped selling the X5s in 2006! I think I bought my x550e's in 2007 and IMO it says something that the support agreement covers hardware too.

Our company won't run on any firewall that doesn't allow for at least active/passive failover and watchguard seems to be the most economical option I know of. At least they have an option for clustering two together to take away that hardware reliability issue. they don't even have redundant power supplies. You know what you are getting at that level.

I wouldn't trust any firewall at the hardware level since they are mostly no better than a computer. Hardware failures happen for any device mfg. VLAN support on at least one of the interfaces Six network interfaces (at least two GigE) What is there, in the same price range as the 80C/110C (i.e. They charge ~$1K per year for support, and they don't have anyone who understands their IPsec VPN software well enough to help a customer configure one? It's time to look elsewhere. I opened a ticket, and after 2 weeks, we STILL couldn't get it to work. Of course, the fact that the IPsec VPN section of the handbook is > 200 pages, AND that it jumps all over the place didn't help. Recently, I tried to set up an IPsec VPN, and it didn't work. In the middle of this, they gave us a "no cost" upgrade to a 110C (twice the memory), but the annual service would be for the 110C instead of the 80C (a 1-year payback). After several months, they finally fixed the memory leak. I had to reboot the router every week to keep it from killing connections. At one point, I enabled a new feature, and saw HUGE memory growth. It worked well enough for several months, as I learned how to get it to do what needed to be done. About a year ago, I was looking for a router/UTM.
