When I first checked into SystemWatch, I was shocked at the price tag.
Right now, I'm considering using BigBrother (www.bb4.com) and purchase the
Checkpoint Reporting module for reporting.
Is there anything that SystemWatch can do which cannot be done by the
combination of bb4 and CP Reporting Module?
Thanks,
BC

Using SystemWatch from Open Service (which comes on
the Nokia box as a 30 day eval) can be configured to
monitor a wide variety of components, both soft and
hard. You can monitor diskspace, memory utilization,
process utilization, kernel status, etc. as well as
analyze the logs of the firewall and the hardware
appliance. This is a very powerful tool that is priced
at a point that it make sense for anyone with 5 or
more firewalls.
