I am trying to decide which firewall/router to go with. A 5year old watchguard xtm 330 or a edgerouter pro. The specs for each are a 'bit' confusing. The comparison is as follows:
Wathchguard:
Throughput 1.4Gbps
VPN throughput 240 Mbps
AV throughput 340 Mbps
IPS throughput 640 Mbps
UTM throughput 298 Mbps
Concurrent connections (bi-directional) 40,000
New connections per second 5,500
VLANs 75
Authenticated users 500
and the list goes on...
Edge simply states 2million+ pps, however, it does tell me processing and memory, where the Watchguard specs don't.
I suppose I am hoping someone is familiar with each device or can point me in the right direction to compare apples to apples. Thanks in advance for your help.
