I have a Dell Poweredge server running Windows Server 2012 (soon to upgrade to 2019) in a rack and currently only basic/software firewalls. The server hosts a website and FTP server with many clients connecting so figure I should probably get something a bit more serious in.

Any recommendations for something fairly simple to use?

Generally if you're a business and don't have teams of people who take a real interest in this stuff you're best served just spending a few quid on an entry level Fortinet or Checkpoint or whatever.

I've nothing against pfsense at all but "off the shelf" stuff will be much simpler to get support on and to find someone who can look after it for you if you need that.
This would be preferred. Cost isn't a big concern, I'd like something that works and will be reliable without too much user input and not get in the way of high speed transfers etc (we upload/download 1-2TB a day)
