It really depends on your deployment model and requirements. SD-WAN/SD-Branch, like EdgeConnect or 7205, have integrated security and don't need a separate firewall as part of the modern architecture.
Best would be to work with your Aruba partner to analyze or design the best architecture for your network and fit in the right products, rather than find a 1-to-1 replacement of a specific product.

I am new to the community, don't know if this is the right place to ask questions.
I have a request to compete with a Palo Alto PA-1410 firewall appliance, I understand Aruba doesn't really have a firewall appliance, would a 7205 controller or EdgeConnect works ?
thx, Ed
