Hello Experts,<br />
<br />
Has any of ever used Broadview Networks &quot;Frontline Managed Firewall&quot; &nbsp;?<br />
<br />
Broadview has submitted a quote for a client of mine and they are trying to sell a Virtual Firewall &quot;that's in the Cloud&quot; for $100 per month.<br />
<br />
After the 3 year contract is up I could have bought two Sonicwalls with High Availability.<br />
<br />
What do you guys think?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

Broadview Networks Frontline Managed Firewall ?

Hardware-based firewalls provide more sophisticated protection for inbound and outbound traffic than the simple Windows software firewall or the basic NAT firewalls found in routers. These devices implement techniques such as stateful packet inspection, deep packet inspection, and content filtering; and may include built-in antivirus and anti-malware protection.

Hardware Firewalls

Software firewalls, also known as host-based firewalls, provide a layer of software on one host that controls network traffic in and out of that single machine. Most operating systems now include firewall software, but many available software firewalls include central distribution, antivirus systems and disaster recovery.
