I am IT infrastructure support for a small but growing company in CA. We presently have Cisco switches and a Zyxel firewall. We are looking to change to a Cisco firewall. I've used a Cisco ASA 5505 when I was working for another company about 6 years ago but I understand Cisco no longer supports this firewall.
What kind of a firewall would you recommend? It must support VPN clients (25 users) and do I need the service contract?

New NGFW not as expected cost of ASA 55XX, since you looking more features.
you need to make a requirement, if FTD cost high, I still consider 55XX -X models ( i know cisco soon going to anouce end of life) atleast you can use them for next 2years (perssonally my suggestion).

you would be looking at a NGFW, cisco's smallest is the firepower 4110 with 20gbps thru put.

Why not Meraki MX series firewalls?

It works a little differently compared to the ASA, but should be able to satisfy your Firewall and VPN requirements.
