Well I have been trying to get soemone to send or call me with any type of info and pricing on any product for about 5 days now. Havnt heard a peep. As for selling SNORT updates.... I am truly curious why anyone would pay to update SNORT rules....they are free. This is the last product I need to compare before final purchase. Been looking at SonicWall and SnapGear too, at this rate SnapGear is seeming pretty good.
From my point of view, they will use almost the same prices like they have for the current version. The home user license will be for free and these users will be able to buy the anti-virus and surf-protection option for a small amount of money (49 Euro each). No worry; they did it well with version 4 so trust them.
That may be true but i have yet to hear from my sales contact or from ASL on this board. The only thing we have to go on for sure is the press release..which seeming as they want to charge for snort updates when you can get those for free..bothers me a bit..other than that issue..ASL 5 looks like a good product so far.

Well in fairness to ASL, I do not think they are charging specifically for the snort updates, but instead charging for the update service. RedHat does this, so do many other business companies. Most of those updates are free, however what you are paying for is the convience of One-Stop shopping per se. You can pretty much build everything Astaro offers for free (minus the nice web UI). However what ASL offers is a tested, very easy to implement, secure, system. You can achieve this on your own, however it does require ALOT of work to do well.
