I have an old computer running pfsense, talked boss in buying an applicance. My concerns regarding the ASA 5505 is that it is older, and EOL could be announced at any time. And, the fact that AIP SSC has already been announced to be EOL, or End Of Sales, anyway, makes me think they're on the verge of discontinuing the ASA 5505. And no wireless, 150 Mbps througput, Fast ethernet, which is not a deal breaker by any means.
While it's my understanding could still have 3 years or so of support left after that (correct me if I'm wrong), still, I'd have egg on my face if bought today and EOL was announced next week. Small office, 15 users (so have to buy the 50 user bundle), couple of VPN users, at the present time. No exchange, web host, etc.
Any comments on the ASA 5505?
(I had originally posted this question with references to the the other Brand/model I was considering, but thought later that it might be considered a no-no to talk about other brands)
Thanks, Steve
