Barracuda Firewall vs Watchguard Firebox Firewall???

[stang95]

Hey guys I am installing Exchange 2003 in my office and am trying to figure out which antivirus and antispam solution would work for me. We have about 100 users. Anyone have opinions on the Barracuda Model 200 and the Watchguard Firebox X700? Thanks!

As much as I like Watchguard's appliances, I wasn't too impressed with their AV/AS. People seem to love the Barracuda boxes. Personally, I've moved just about all of our clients >20 users over to Messagelabs. Service has been flawless over about a dozen domains, 300+ users. Excellent support if you have any questions, constantly upgrading their network (with no downtime, except the admin panel very rarely). Highly recommended if your company will shell out for a service as opposed to a single expense (although isn't there a recurring charge for Watchguard's AV/AS service?).
