In theory Cisco's product has more features, however I have been very disappointed. A client recently purchased this with a PIX firewall and IDS to save money over FW1 and ISS Realsecure. Basically even after 2 patches the reporting does not work correctly (another fix coming in June?), there is also a bug when policies are pushed out to managed firewalls and routers. The GUI is very hard to use and to make matters worse parts of the documentation still refer to HP Openview when it comes to connectivity to IDS systems. A Cisco PIX is a great product and so is their IDS but the policy manager does not integrate well with either. This is a case where I would recommend spending the extra on Checkpoint. -----Original Message----- From: Velasquez Venegas Jaime Omar [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, May 22, 2001 5:36 PM To: FW1-MailingList (E-mail) Subject: [FW1] Way Off-Topic: Cisco Secure Policy Manager I'd like to hear experiences people who have used Cisco Secure Policy Manager and if it is an equivalent to Policy Editor of Firewall-1 in simplicty in its usage. ============================================================================ ==== To unsubscribe from this mailing list, please see the instructions at http://www.checkpoint.com/services/mailing.html ============================================================================ ==== ================================================================================ To unsubscribe from this mailing list, please see the instructions at http://www.checkpoint.com/services/mailing.html ================================================================================
