You'll be surprised when you compare it to Cisco.
With all due respect to those loyal to Cisco, the company is slipping IMHO
cisco is so damn overrated in everything they sell. wireless? rather go with aruba. firewall? rather go with Palo Alto, Fortinet or SW. Edge switches? dell, extreme, aruba all do the same for 60% of the price.
so overrated.... except for their 9ks baws.

Personally, I haven't gotten my hands on Aruba or Palo Alto. I have dealt with Sonicwalls, and I rather deal with an ASA. That said, that might be a biased opinion just simply because I'm so familiar with ASAs and unfamiliar with Sonicwalls. I've dealt with Cisco, Juniper, Adtran, and Brocade for routing and switching. I've found that Juniper works just as well, but costs just as much (until you're a Juniper partner). I fricking hate Brocades and Adtran. We call them Brokeade and Sadtran. I've seen OSPF stop working altogether on a Brocade FCX648S by simply configuring a new VLAN interface. Had to reboot the son of a bitch.
For firewalls, we have previously used ASAs but are moving to Juniper SRX platform as we slowly migrate off of an older infrastructure. I have a love/hate relationship with the SRXs, so far...I love the security zones, gives you lots of control and flexibility. We have had lots of bugginess with them, though, and to get a beefier SRX costs quite a bit.
The ASR9Ks are boss. IOS-XR is great, also. The only problem with the ASR9K is upgrading can be a bit of a real bitch at times, although they're making it a smoother process as time goes on.
