I too have used both products, and prefer BorderManager by far.
BM is particularly good firewall choice if you're a Novell site, since it employs NDS
for of setup and config. Most firewall features (Proxy, content filters, reverse
proxy, transparent proxy, and acceleration) are managed with NWAdmin, and you can
apply access rules to containers or users in NDS tree. The combination of http proxy
and acceleration makes access to commonly hit URLS faster than without firewall.
On network layer level, can do NAT and Packet Filtering in addition, or exclusively.
BM3.0 provides stateful filtering for more secure port access, and ACK bit filtering
on incoming requests.
