[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] Re: [FW-1] comparison between Pix and FW-1
We've just put in several new pix's here (535's, 515's et al). We use Checkpoint, PIX, Netscreen, FWTK, and some others. I personally wouldn't use pix in an enterprise environment if given the choice. It has very limited functionality and troubleshooting options. I would even go so far as to say look at cisco routers with FW/IDS IOS versions on them you'll get more out of it than a PIX. (and a lot cheaper).

I'd be careful about putting in PIX instead of FW-1 in a datacenter environment - you'll lose the ease of management / logging ability of Check Point if you do this. However, you can integrate PIX's syslog into something like Webtrends Firewall Suite to make up for the logging, and go on a few PIX courses to make up for the intuitive Check Point bits that you'll be leaving behind.... If datacenter, are you looking for gigabit solutions ? Take a look at: http://www.checkpoint.com/products/security/platforms/platforms_matrix.html for a list of supported Check Point platforms - there are some interesting 'new' developments.
