60E - Opinions?

Hi:

I'm considering buying some 60E's to replace some older 81CM's at branch locations.

I have been buying 90D's and running 5.2 firmware.

 

The 60E spec sheet shows great improvement over the other models, but I'm skeptical that its "ready for prime time."

I've read in the forums the 50E models had a lot of issues, and E models only come with 5.4, which I have avoided using in production also.

Anyone have experiences (positive or negative) with the 60E yet?

Thanks,

Scott

    I think most of issues discussed for xxE models are not because of the hardware but because of the 5.4.x software. So if it's on 50E, the same would likely apply to 60E.

    Not Ready for Prime Time. Have been disappointed. We have installed a bunch and some show some weird behavior and TAC has not been very effective in fixing them. Stay Away!!!

    Can you share which 5.4 version they have running, and what kinds of weird behaviors they're having? That would probably help others. I have a 50E+5.4.3 running since earlier this year but so far no issue I encountered yet although I need to admit it has no UTM stuff activated.
