Hello,

I just recently got out of school and started my first job in the IT field. I'm at a small company and part of a 2-man IT team.

One of our current projects is to look into upgrading our software based firewall (ClearOS free version) for a better hardware one. I was wondering what would be some good options?

Our company has around 120 users that access our network. We have one 10Mbps internet line that comes to our head office, and is then shared with our six other branches. We're hoping to just get one device we put at our head office.

Some of the nicer features we'd like are AD integration, usage reports by user, easy to use interface, spam-filtering, and ability to block specific applications on websites (eg, only chat on Facebook).

Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions anyone can provide.
