Not a bad article in here but just a little more. I have both the
Checkpoint 4.1 and the Pix 525. I bought the 525's because I was tiered of
dealing with Checkpoint. CKP is terrible at customer support and licensing,
and I am not saying this from just my experience. I was in the classes
recently and all the folks there expressed the same issues. Support is
expensive and not so bad with Pix. Remember that with CKP you rely on the
box and OS you run and that has been a performance problem for us. In
addition you had better know how to harden the box with CKP. I guess my
opinion is that a hardware device is almost always a better solution. Dollar
for Dollar the PIx is the better solution.
Good Luck
