Juniper SRX100B vs SSG-5-SH

Hello Guys,

I am looking to purchase one of the above devices. Currently using IPCop.

Please guide which device is better in functionality, advanced in configuration capabilities, etc.

I will also be purchasing the surfcontrol license for web filtering.

Thanks

Keep IPCop or migrate to untangle.

Sorry about the previous comment...

I am not experienced with squid, so while using the URL filter with the advanced proxy, I am unable to do any custom filtering/unfiltering.

Only option available is filter or unfilter.

Thanks
What is the motivation to move from IPcop?  More users?  requirement of management?  Need to move to a different web filter option?

Looks like surfcontrol is now owned by Websense.  So is the motivation to change device driven by a need to integrate with Websense?

Understanding your motivation will help in recommending a solution.

SRX and SSG's are both great boxes by itself, there are some differences in the chipset/hardware between 2, but that is not the constraint though.

So the questions/answers you need to first know are;

1. How many users are you having behind this?

2. What is the total packet output you're looking at?

3. Do you need VPN, if so - what is the throughput you need through the VPN?

4. Finally the cost factor, SRX boxes are costlier?

VPN is not needed,
30 users.
Only 50Mbps is the total throughput realistically required
Cost for both is within the budget,
