Strengths: Powerfull, VPN included, UTM on firewall for Anti-virus, Internet content filtering, powerful port control, rivals Cisco devices for less money, RDP management via browser, etc.
Weaknesses:Expensive if you are used to entry level routers,UTM features have annual fees, bios ugrades require annual fee, limited to 5, 25 and unlimited user models.
Overall Evaluation: I have been using these appliances for several years now and absolutely love them. This is an excellent UTM firewall appliance. This device packs content filtering with a live database, anti-spyware, and port security the equals Cisco appliances for way less money. The user interface is easier to use than Cisco. I have made these my standard appliance for companies with less than 100 employees. When subscribed with annual support it will automatically upgrade the firmware and restart. I can't say enough good things about this device.
