CheckPoint = (great product) - (any support infrastructure). It is without a doubt the least supported product by a manufacturer I have ever seen. I have outstanding TAC cases over a year old! They charge a fortune for support and maintenance, which you must have, and you get nothing for it.
The only thing that actually keeps it running are the private boards and mailing lists. It is extremely easy to use though and they own 60% of the market? There are things you can do with CheckPoint that Cisco cannot even begin to emulate. -----Original Message----- From: Jim Bond [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, November 01, 2001 11:23 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: OT: worst company [7:25033] Hello, I had a very bad experience with Checkpoint and am wondering if anyone had the same problem. One of my clients wanted to try Checkpoint VPN-1 so I filled out online eval form a month ago. A sales rep called me the next day and said a reseller would contact me in 5-10 days (5-10 minutes would make more sense). I didn't hear nothing in 3 weeks so I filled out online eval form again (I lost that rep's phone number) and another sales rep called me said the same thing. Now another week passed and I still didn't hear nothing. My client is very unhappy so he decide to go with Cisco. Is Checkpoint's business so good that they couldn't handle or what? Anyway, Checkpoint lost my client and I would never work with them again. Jim __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
