Re: Watchguard vs. Netscreen

[firewalllist]

I'm not sure about Netscreen, but the weakness of the Watchguard appears to
be global administration.  (At least when I looked at it.)  There did not
seem to be a really good way to administer a bunch of them at different
sites.  Since you mention global implementation, this may be an issue.

If you prefer each firewall to be under the control of a local
administrator, this would not be an issue and Watchguard is an excellent
product for many situations.

Hope this helps,

CB

Hello all,

I have to recommend firewalls for my company to implement globally.  I have
been
looking at the Netscreen-100 and also the WatchGuard Firebox II.  I would
like
to hear about any experiences (good AND bad) that anyone has had.  I would
also
like to hear about other products that anyone feels are far superior to
either
of those two products.
