You are indeed right in that Stonebeat should
give you more hits, as they have been on the market for a longer time. But that
said, is where the comparison stops.
Stonesoft has announced that they're coming
out with their own firewall, and I probably dont need to tell anyone what that
is going to do with the relationship between them. You'll most probably see that
Stonesoft some time in the future no longer is an OPSEC partner.
Lets just say that almost every company I
know in this country that used to sell Stonebeat, are these days throwing
themselves at Rainfinity...
I think Stonebeat has more or less wiped
themselves out of the market... trying to launch their own firewall, what are
they thinking ?
Anyways: Rainfinity was hijacking the market
before this ever got out in the open. Rainwall outperforms Stonebeat anyday both
in ease of installation and throughput. And my impression is that even Check
Point regards Rainwall as the top-notch solution!!
