+1 For Dell Sonicwall with a mid-level budget, extremely flexible ISP load-balancing and failover configuration. R D On Tue, Jan 6, 2015 at 3:31 PM, Adam Nelson via skunkworks < skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> wrote:
Dell is so dominant in Kenya I would consider just using Sonicwall:

That should be about $3,500 after tax/duty and everything so it's only $15/user for the 3-5 year lifetime plus the annual license for updated threat signatures, etc...
I'm sure that's much cheaper than Cisco and still very effective if well administered.

There are many checkpoint partners locally, Baracudda... nope. Having worked with the three (Cisco, Checkpoint and Cyberoam)... I bet cyberoam can suffice, considering its affordability.

Thanks for the responses. Any other apart from cyberroam for comparison. Any checkpoint or barracuda dealers locally?

Hi, Need advice on choosing a hardware based firewall for an organisation with about 200 users. Most with about 2 devices connecting to the network. Fail over feature and vendor available locally
My hunch is that you'll find life bearable and interesting if you consider one of the many UTMs in the market, like cyberoam/chkpoint/fortgate depending on how deeps your pockets are... You may be lucky to find one that is easy on your pockets, which also allows managing of mobile devices..
