It has been some time since I have worked with Netscreen, but I have noticed they continually beat out competition including Cisco in most firewall "shootouts". I am concerned about Juniper now owning them as Juniper has no experience in the firewall/security market but that is probably minor... who knows.
The netscreen is gui through a browser, lacks (or did) any good debugging for troubleshooting but is very simple. If you understand the basics of firewalling and VPN this is very easy to deploy. At the time Netscreen was about to introduce the 1000 that was vlan aware. Of course now so is the FWSM but. I think the netscreen is an excellent and easy to use product for its pricing that apparently outperforms most other firewalls according to independant "shootouts".. I would imagine that has to do with the design around ASICS rather then a processor. Price to performance, you prolly can't beat it. Feature wise though it may be lacking....

Has anyone had experience with both of these products? If so, what are the advantages/disadvantages of both? Thanks.
