Your choice of firewall would probabely depend on your network platform.
If this is a Wintel network, a Unix based firewall might not be your
best choice. Likewise, if your staff is not skilled in routing software
in general, and Cisco specificcaly, a Pix might not be the best choice.
You should also try to avoid "new" products. Use a search engine, go to
the vendors' home pages and look for a product version 3 or higher.
Axent is just one out of several products. When comes to FW1, their
hybrid version is relative new, and therefore woul not be my first
choice.
