Cisco Router vs ASA
If I need to setup a gateway to connect to other office, support remote mobile client and external access for internal servers through NAT, should I buy a Cisco Router or ASA ? Any comment ?
Thanks

You can take either one of them, as you can configure both with the nat capabilities and remote access VPN. But if security comes into picture, I think its best you go for a firewall

forgot to answer your question. yes router can do a site-to-site as well, and by default ASA is a firewall so basic offering has firewall capabilities. routers have firewall IOS capabilities as well, depends on what IOS you choose.
hope this helps :-)

These 2 are really close. Really check if you need exotic interfaces that would point to a router.
Cisco Router can work as firewall and it can route your ip packets in right direction.
