My biggest gripe with ISA is the fact that you need to buy a good
quality hardware platform then buy windows 2003 then buy ISA.
The cost soon mounts up when you compare it against other products on
the market.
However, if you want a product totally integrated into active directory
then this must be the best.

I would agree with Paul-
While I will not say that ISA is not secure, I would say that other
options are more secure.. ISA has it's advantages, including a great
way to secure MS OWA services, as well as a good web proxy. IMHO I
would not put this out on our permiter, but would consider using it
behind another firewall for defense in depth.
Are you looking for a traditional packet filtering firewall? Or an
application proxy? These operate at different levels of the OSI stack,
so it would help if you could provide a little more information.

There are much better firewalls available. Checkpoint is definitely one
of the best. If you need an http proxy I would go with Squid. ~Paul
