Its a bit of a funny one to be honest, I've been selling security for 10 years now.. I've worked for and or sold a lot of stuff: Checkpoint, Websense, NetScreen, SonicWall, Nokia IP, Trend Micro. St. Bernard, SurfControl, Pix, WatchGuard, Symantec, Barracuda, F5, StoneGate, Fortinet...the list goes on!!

We have a nice channel running with WatchGuard and Symantec but we wanted to get a couple of new Firewall / UTM (hate that word) offerings that we could a) make some margin out of and b) Offer some our services on top for extra margin (HW replacement, Accredited training etc).

Its just that i'm finding Astaro a fairly difficult one; I get the impression that no-one likes the Astaro software kit, And they've got these new appliance based solutions which sound great but I havent found anyone who can give me an honest appraisal.

Anyone! Help!
