How about using pfsense for a SMB? Is it common for companies to use pfsense?
Sonicwall TZ210 and a Cisco 5510 are two totally different devices......
I'd sat the Cisco 5510 or consider a
Small Juniper SRX unit instead,
OK, maybe I asked the question wrong. I am more interested in comparing Sonicwall against Cisco as a firewall for SMB. Doesn't have to be a specific model although I am looking at the Sonicwall TZ and NSA series compared to Cisco ASA series. One article I was looking at on the web, http://www.firewalls.com/sonicwall_vs_cisco seemed to be very biased and almost not believable.
Looking at Gartner, it is not very clear. Sonicwall and Cisco are neither visionaries. Cisco has been around much longer and is considered a challenger, but is not a leader.
I am also curious how pfSense compares, not including support since it is free.
So if you were setting up firewalls at small to medium business and your choices were SonicWALL, Cisco, or pfSense. Which would you go with and why?

5510s are going EoL, so you'd want a 5512-X (or 5515-X) if you went with an ASA.
IMO, Sonicwall, Watchguard, etc, are garbage. Look at Palo Alto, Fortinet and Cisco.

I have heard of it, but companies typically prefer something with full service support. That way, if something breaks you can get a replacement overnighted to you.
Cool. This is basically the answer I was looking for without getting into too much details.
If we were comparing to cars maybe we could say SonicWALL is a Ford, Cisco is a Porsche, and PA is a Ferrari?
What about Check Point? Gartner seems to rate them pretty high.
I was under the impression that Sonicwall devices made terrible L3 routers?
Firmware 5.6 and lower yes. 5.8 was completely rewritten.
I am a partner so I get the good tech support as well. Great guys all based in Pheonix.
what are you looking to do with the firewall though? users connecting in through VPN? site to site VPN? content filtering? IPS?
each firewall will have +'s and -'s depending on what you're looking to accomplish.
