Which VPN/Firevall Cisco appliance should I buy?

[marflo500]

Hello Everyone,

I have a LAN with a Cisco PIX 515E UR-BUN. I need to build site-to-site VPNs between this LAN and 7 remote offices. Therefore I obviously need a VPN/Firewall appliance at each of these 7 remote offices. Which Cisco appliance should I buy and install in the 7 remote regions? I would need these appliances to provide basic VPN/Firewall capabilities and easily integrate with the PIX 515E.

P.S I am not looking to invest in more 515Es. I need something cheaper.

ASA 5505 w/base license (under $450 USD each)

Remember ASA5505 are licensed under a per user model.

Yes, this is the reason I thought it would be a good option while keeping the price down.

Thanks for the reply guys. If the unit is licensed on a per user basis it means that even though I have established my site-to-site VPN I would need to buy a license for every computer that uses the VPN at the remote office?

The asa5505 is sold as a ten, fifty, or unlimited user models.
