Very, very slow. I've got Raptor box that I'm trying to phase out in
favor of Checkpoint. (I'm also looking at the Watchguard stuff). My
biggest pet peeve about Raptor is the necessity to restart the management
console to allow various components of the firewall to pick up
configuration changes. For example:
After adding a protocol and then a GSP, you need to restart the RMC
inorder for the new service to appear in the Filters dialog.
Then again, the lack of command line tools for FW-1 is equally annoying.
