Hey, Ben, I have recently sat in different seminars sponsored by Cisco and
Checkpoint. From statements made by the presenters, I gathered that both
companies agree on the following points:
1) Cisco PIX is far superior in terms of throughput.
2) Checkpoint GUI / management, particularly of multiple security domains,
multiple firewalls, and policy management, is far superior to anything Cisco
has.
3) Both companies maintain that their product is superior in terms of
general firewall features and functionality.
Is this your impression as well?
Chuck

Subject: Re: PIX versus Firewall-1 comparison
Phil,
I would imagine that the preference for Firewall-1 was expressed
because the administration of it is far more user friendly that a PIX.
Admin of FW-1 can be carried out using a Windows GUI with all the rules
laid out in glorious technicolour, while admin of a PIX involves a CLI
(command line interface).
But then again if you're a die-hard Cisco engineer you might think that
Windows GUIs are a bit of a soft option, and that you prefer to do
things in raw CLI fashion.
Regards,
Ben
