Sorry to drag this one up again, but I'd also be very interested if anyone
has performed a technical eval of these three particular products.
Articles don't really interest me that much - what I'd like is comments from
personal experience.
In particular, let me ask some deliberately stupid questions:
Gauntlet used a fine product, but is it supportable? Have the Gauntlet team
gone off the boil in terms of talent? The recent Cyberpatrol bug was some of
the sloppiest coding and dodgiest QA I've seen for a long time.
Is Raptor worth even looking at now that Symantec have grabbed it?
Can Sidewinder be considered for "general purpose" installs with its rep for
price / complexity?
And one more:
FW-1 seems to have a great enterprise management model. Is the
supportability worth the suckiness of the product? I refer here to the poor
record for sensible coding and well considered bugfixes which have kept FW-1
in the vulnerability press.
Cheers,
