Check Point is a proven product with a long history, which is why almost all
major corporations use it. Dedicated web application firewalls are
significantly slower. The normal usage is to have a web application
firewall, if you decide you need one, behind a stateful firewall so the web
firewall is only handling web traffic.
I can tell you that SmartDefense's Web Intelligence stops a lot of stuff and
will only get better.
So the answer, once again, is that it depends on your particular needs. :-)

Subject: [FW-1] FireWall-1 vs. other web application firewall products
Date: Mon, 1 Aug 2005 03:07:11 +0000
Hello,
Does anyone know how Check Point FW-1 compares to dedicated web application
firewalls?
There are a lot of web application firewall vendors out there, some seem to
be head and shoulders above what Check Point can do now.
Any comments?
Thanks,
Emily
