I used to use gns for the money i have been running boson netsim 8 the labs are simple but they cover the content well and the information that you print to go with it is very nice. Alos they are always running deals it seems that you can buy one and then three days later they give you 20% off the next. So if you need the CCNP jsut get 1 then wait a few days for a deal on the next tests.
I haven't found a good simulation packet yet (besides GNS3) that also includes PIX/ASA's.
The rest mainly focuses onswitches and routers.
So for now I'm just waiting until they get it working and in the meantime looking for a good alternative.

VMware
VMware, a software company founded in 1998, was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies. VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture. Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
