Do you need a car that will do 120 when the speed limit is 75? Do you need a firewall that can keep up with a saturated 100mb interface when all you have is a T-1 to the Internet? Better, no. Checkpoint is the industry leader because of their well designed intuitive management interface. Manageability is everything.
