How does WatchGuard Firebox compare to other solutions?

Our license expired and I am looking for a replacement for a medium-size company with 10G internet.

WatchGuard Firebox, with the full feature set enabled, has a throughput of 11Gbs. What other solutions should I be considering for a university?

Thanks! I appreciate the help.

I recently went from an M200 to M270 through their trade-up program. It cost a few dollars more than the subscription alone.

I’m going to stay with WatchGuard, I've been a customer for the last 20 years.
