Been getting the hard sell from these guys recently, wondered if people had experience with the, what the hardware and feature sets are like, ease of learning/use?

Not sure what models we would be looking at but we currently use ASA5540's with AIP-SSM40's, have around 60 external IP's for publising web sites/apps, close to 500 concurrent AnyConnect SSL VPN users.

Any ideas or thoughts on if they are worth taking a look at? What they come in at cost point wise? (Currently get around 56-60% off list price of Cisco kit)

It's just something thats been bugging me for a bit as everywhere else i have had control of IT, we always made sure we had a mix of firewalls on the gateways to give an additional layer of security, rather than the current Cisco only estate. I'm at the point now where i finally have control of a budget to implement this type of infrastructure if required.
