Editor's choiceWatchguard Firebox 1000
Juniper NS-5GT
The winners of the scenario and Editor's Choice are Watchguard and Juniper. If we had an open budget we would go for the Watchguard Firebox 1000. It can serve the most tunnels, it has a great set of features including deep packet inspection, intrusion prevention, spam filtering, Web blocking, and gateway antivirus. It also performed well in our throughput tests.
The Sonicwall also deserves an honourable mention here as it was only narrowly beaten by the Watchguard. For more of an entry-level VPN device we recommend the Juniper. It's very cheap, it works well but it's limited to only 10 tunnels.
