Netscreen vs. Cisco ASA

[Andreas Heinzelmann]

Hi there!

I just wanted to get some advice.

I have to set up 10 dial-up-VPNs (IPSec) to our corporate network. The
available Hardware Platform is a Juniper NS5GT with which I have no
experience at all.
On the other hand I could use a Cisco ASA Appliance (probably the 5505).

So could you please give me some pros and cons about the two systems? I
would really appreciate it.

Thanks....Andy

P.S. I have some Cisco experience (CCNA Level)

We decided on the Netscreen several months back and have had nothing but trouble with it. Our current issue is VPN, Juniper basically said it wasn't possible for the client to connect through VPN where our local network overlaps with the remote network when connecting using a VPN. This is frustrating because the Cisco client we used before had no problem with it. Bandwidth is another issue we have had with Juniper, where there was no issue with the Cisco. I did a lot of research before we chose Juniper, but I am regretting the decision.
