StoneGate is actually a new guy in the firewalls arena... (March 2001)
So, you probably will be one of the first people around the world
using it... It's up to you to be a "paying-beta-tester" or use a more
stable and more mature product (I guess you already know the names).
See, even Stonesoft's customers have their doubts about seeing an
HA company (in which they do it very well) now trying to make
firewalls...

I saw a demo past days... and lots of features (at least the GUI
ones, and some others about functionality) seems very similar to the
Check Point's Next Generation ones... any way, I think the new
Check Point's GUI is more cute... ;-)

Another thing: they seem to prefer to fight at courts, rather than
push their technology and let the market decide:

Sounds to me like a desperate company trying to make their numbers...
You can try it anyway. Nothing to lose... ;-)
Best regards.
