We are coming up on replacement time for our firewalls and are replacing an 1120. Just looking at specs I can't see why we would go with the 1140 even though that's the first recommendation our vendor had. the 1220cx shows better specs and is cheaper, with cheaper licensing than the 1140. Am I missing something?
As for alternatives I am looking in the hardware+license for 5 years at around 10k-15k. We have about 60 endpoints with no big data transfers that would saturate anything, we just need to make sure certain check boxes are marked for regulatory purposes.
