Hi,
We currently run a PepLink Balance 210 router/firewall combo. It has been absolutely fantastic, but is limited in features for VPN (PPTP only) and that is becoming a problem as we grow. Also, the firewall features leave a lot to be desired.
Budget is $2k.
50-60 on site users.
15 remote users (though not full time remote).
I would like something with AD integration for VPN and content filtering. Right now that's about all I need, but perhaps later as we grow that will expand.
I have looked at SonicWall, Fortigate, Meraki, Cisco, and all of the others. I currently run an entirely Meraki MR16 network so something like the MX80 looks extremely appealing to me, but has received mixed reviews in the community.
I do currently run 2 WAN connections: 1 100x100 fiber line and backup 30x5 cable line. The PepLink can be put in "drop in mode" in front of the firewall so dual WAN capability is not absolutely necessary, but I'm also not opposed to selling the PepLink either. The principles of KISS tell me to get rid of the PepLink altogether.
Guide me....
Thanks,
David
