What a story!! if you could do it over, what other vendor would you choose?
My subscription is going to run out and unless I find a good fw vendor, or
switch to freebsd/ipchains, I may be forced to give checkpoint more money
for no upgrades.
Checkpoint never reads this list, so its pointless to complain about them on
it, since it never fixes anything. Here is my story, which is similar, the
email trail is the funny part.
This all goes back to Febuary when I wanted my 4.1 upgrade... Prior to this
I have even had to use hacked licenses, since I have had similar problems
with upgrades (3.x to 4.0). I have been wiating for my upgrade to 4.1
(which I bought a subscription and support for) for the last 5 months. I
made some calls (and even got a incedent ID, which was useless).
I am still waiting for the software, and keys. My reseller TRIUMPH has been
100 times more helpful than checkpoint. They are shipping me a copy of 4.1,
even though they are not responsible for providing software support. They
only support software if you purchase a triumph support contract instead of
a checkpoint one. If and when I renew my software/support subscription I
will renew it to Triumph support. I haven't had to call support ever,
besides for licensing and software upgrades.
I hope you get a kick out of these emails, it sounds like a broken record...
"next month". I took out the person's name to avoid causing her any
problems, becuase this is a company problem, not her problem.

Jonah,
I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. The release of the
4.1 upgrade has been pushed back to later this month.
Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.
