As a current user at home and a pro reseller, I can highly recommend Omada Cloud SDN. For usage at home, it maybe a little bit technical but you can forget many issues like unnecessary add-ons you search on the web. By using your own DNS configuration or avoiding adult…

yes, totally supported

You forgot "Sophos UTM 9", but I agree with some of my pears it always depends of your budget !!!

1) freeware should be OPN Sense or PFSense2) using license you can use Sophos or Fortinetsimple as that, any of those are really good.

Hi Muhammad You are telling us your company is small, but for choice active equipment you need to know how big the need for your client is, not yours. And also you may discuss if you are the provider of the tech service for management (local or remote), or if you're just…

Also Unifi can do the job, "Unifi dream machine SE", but you should change all equipment to this brand, highly highly recommend if you dont have already a lot of equipment for replace !!!

@Thomas Naylor, I don't think it is because they are reducing service offerings, maybe is because being that good and doing so many functions that provoke the PC goes really, but really slow, that happens with a lot of different brands That's why I never offer an antivirus…

More information please!! Of course it's not the same type of solution, but if you're talking about infrastructure, yes it's the same, you just need a patch cable (copper or fiber) from your ISP router connected to your router's WAN IN port.Otherwise, if you're talking about…

Ubiquiti Edge Infinity router, guaranteed. I am working in a school with exactly the same number of students and have never had a problem, the only drawback is that you must be a professional with routing knowledge, and the interface is not as friendly as other brands…

Chalk and cheese!  I'd never said they were exactly the same. I just said they are good enough to do the job. Of course, the newer device is better in quantity of functions and options (no matter the brand) but again if the first device is working, why change it. What is…

Hi @Isaiah Dominic ​I have a few questions:Does replace mean that you already have a Cisco device? What's the reason for replacing it if is working? So, I assume it's not working. In that case, I have the second question:I suppose you should have a configuration backup…

-Dual WAN -Load Balancer -Capability of failover -IPS/IDS -PBR (Policy Based Routing) -Static route -Multi-gateway -And all the basic ones: LAN, SNAT, DNAT, etc.

The "old" answer: calculate how many concurrent connections you are gonna get from the devices in your network. But, nowadays, you should also define if it's an HW-based or SW-based router.  Also, check how many -VPN connections you need -if you're gonna use QoS (consumes a…

I think first of all you need to establish what resources you want to handle in your operation and then how important is each. Once you get it a try based on a "Venn diagram" or an "Eisenhower chart" to apply the resolution tools fatigue is coming from not knowing what tool…

Ok, first, what level of management you need ? Do you want to use all the functions or only a few of them Besides the brand hype, using only one enviroment is better than any mix you could try. And also where do you want to manage the network? I mean do you want to use the…

Proxmox = professional environments (any size). VirtualBox = small environments or test purpose Sorry for the short response but it is exactly like that.

Let's say in an IT environment "Mitigation" moves your virtual machines or containers to another Virtualization server to keep production while you find and solve the problem. "Remediation" is, in fact, finding the problem, solving it, taking notes and preventing it from…

Easy, obviously the software architecture but more importtant the cost for premium functionality.I always recommend if you are in the position you don't need support from the brand, choose any free software solution.

The correct UPS should do the job. Check the charge you want to protect and the time you need and set up a UPS. All the brands do the minimum which is surge protection,  Good luck!

There are only a few functions or goals you can not achieve with Proxmox. And those are really difficult scenarios to deploy or to be involved in. In 99% of cases, Proxmox gonna do the job.

That's the kind of a question that needs another question for an answer What is the project?How much is the budget?Cisco doesn't have a small business solution, at least not one of "easy to afford", and all the equipment in that brand have the same issue no matter the…

Me voy a tomar la libertad de responder en español, ya que el colega Gilberto es latino Cual es la razón de tomar en cuenta estas 2 líneas de productos de la misma marca? , estas a tiempo de revisar otras opciones ?  si es así te recomiendo la marca Unifi , Router,…

The first time with "Unifi USG"... but let me be clear: it's not because it was a bad choice (not if you set it up it in the rigth place).  I made a wrong choice from the very beginning. The need was bigger than the USG capabilities. I've been forced to change it for an Edge…

What is the reason for doing SIP, in addition to IP PBX? If it's only that any router can handle that service via NAT but if is another scenario -What is your organization size? -How many users do you have?-Do you already have an internal router or your Internet Service…

The easy way to understand is: whatever device you plug into the host hardware it's going to be able for the VM.  The idea is to share resources and minimize the hardware cost.

"1000 concurrents" ! that's tough, but I'm pretty sure Sophos UTM 9 can do the job!!

Ubiquiti EdgeRouter - Firewall: low cost and great performance.

Proxmox it's the best solution for you, if you can make a feature chart with all the benefits and functions you can have, you gonna find out, but that's my opinion based on my experienceas I always said, you should make a comparison feature chart with all those brands. Every…

GajShield ?? It's the first time I'd heard about it but it doesn't matter In these cases you should do a comparison table (Excel) with all the functionality they have an try to see if both of them have the same or look for the functionality that is the most important for…

I personally used Sophos UTM 9, and it´s great, it can support all your needs without a problem, the only concern is to find the correct physical server for deployment. Also, it can be purchased in a stand-alone box. I totally suggest the appliance for a UTM version or a XG…

@João Garcia totally agree !,, but from very beginning why take all the infrastructure to cloud ?, same issue !! if the customer already has the infrastructure on cloud , it's ok, should keep it in cloud, just for now !

   "NG Firewall", why it should be in a cloud solution mode ? i would rather suggest a local solution;1) Hardware it's gonna be your´s2) anyway you will need an IT guy for manage a Firewall, at lease if you dont already have one or maybe you are the IT guy and prefer to doit…

Hi Edwinorganization size ?usual final users behavior?how strong its the security you want ?budget ?if what you need its not that big i allways recomend kind a free solution as a " Pihole server " (in a virtual container its the best way) but,,, also you can find a SOPHOS…

Hello Mesfin It depends on the real scenario, the cisco 2960 is a very good device and they usually have routing functions but there are many different models within the same 2960 line, and on the other hand, which model of the Dlink brand do you want to use?1) is equivalent…

Hi Stephen First of all maybe you should ask your self the question how much money we can loose if we get a fire in my site? is it a Main Site or a secondary one (IDF or MDF )? Does it really matter if you loose production time (kind the "is any one could die" ?) I don't…

Why those brands? Can you take an other brands as opinions? You should try Unifi, Qnap, or even Cisco 1000 series. All of those are pretty similar on quality, functions and bargains for what you are paying So far I know Netgear but not Luxul. So as always, I say check the…

"LibreNMS" is free and it's great!! Check it out.

These days you should use it no matter if you are a home user, it is about security, and it will be easier each time to have leaked on your personal or professional info, a serious IT guy always should say you should use it.

1-10 employees., it's not that big, you should try the Unifi Platform from the Ubiquiti brand, it is a bargain for the price and resource you can manage, and the better for you is you don't have to pay licencing, you only pay the hardware an the IT for implement the…

Ok there are a few big questions 1) QoS management 2) How its managed the different lists, black and white 3) How is the ISP control, with only one and more than one 4) How is it work with apps control? 5) How much info you can get for…

100 % Sophos Like I always said, you should take care of how many devices you need to connect, and then compare! After that, I know Sophos is a better solution they do almost the same in the 99 % of the cases but Sophos is a cheaper solution per device plugged into the…

I can´t help with this “FORESCOUT CT10K APPLIANCE” , but I can recommend for sure Sophos UTM 9.5, it is a Complete solution for UTM need, and have not a ridiculous price About 15.00 american Dlls per each user in a enviroment of 500 users I been using it a lot in a ISO…
