I just got rid of Checkpoint Firewall-1. Its support/licensing/reseller
structure was a mess. I have stories that would make you want to file suit
on my behalf...
We just moved to a Netscreen 10. Cheaper than FW1 (or at least when we
bought FW1). Support structure is better, licensing/support per year is
cheaper ($600 vs. $1700). It runs on its own OS (so no inherent OS
vulnerabilities), comes in a small (1U) self contained appliance, has a very
good HTML interface to configure it with, and was set up in less than a day.
The only, and I mean only weakness I've seen is reporting, but I've heard
that the latest patch addresses that quite well. There is also WebTrends
that you could use for reporting. Also, I like the VPN better than
SecureRemote with FW1. Usually goes off without a hitch and is faster
(IMHO). Last but certainly not least, take a look at any FW vulnerability
report list you can find, and you'll see that Netscreen had one minor one
last year and fixed it very quickly - most others had 3 to 10 in the same
period.
