I'll just add my opinion to this. I have been using CP on Solaris, Linux and Nokia for over a year now. I also use RSA ACE Server. I have been in contact with tech support on CP, Nokia and RSA on many occasions. In my opinion, CP has very knowledgeable developers and so do the others. However, Nokia and RSA have far superior support, licensing and deployment of their products. Support is the key to a successful product and CP needs more skilled support engineers and the licensing methodology should be re-engineered from the ground up.

A Nokia user mentioned concern about it, and support, at the CP User Conference in Detriot this past fall. He was wondering what CP was going to do. CP confirmed it. (As a subjective comment -- CP staff started babbling that Nokia didn't know as much as CP did in the arena of security, and CP staff got really excited about the comment -- even down right rude, I thought. In short, CP seems a bit threatened that Nokia is going in-house with their platform and security.) 2. Someone else mentioned it on this list. Ask a Nokia rep. :) HTH -- Chris --- Yim Lee <[email protected]> wrote: > Chris, > > How reliable is your information on Nokia? > > Yim > --- Chris F <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > Also, Nokia is developing their own firewall > > software. > > > > I think a move to that platform would not be in > your > > best interest for future support. > > > > Go Solaris :) > > > > HTH -- Chris > > > > --- KMoussavi <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Apparently FW1's performance has been proved to > be > > > better on NTs rather than > > > Nokia's.
