[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] Re: [FW-1] Checkpoint vs. Cisco VPN Client
Migrating to Cisco gear for site-to-site sounds like a good idea to me. I've used the Altiga and routers, and both work fine. I see little advantage do doing IPSEC on your firewall, whether Checkpoint or PIX. I don't look for "features" on a firewall, but a good firewall. Checkpoint makes a good firewall. So does Cisco. The dedicated VPN box can be set up parallel to the firewall, or connected to a firewall interface (my preference). And besides, when Checkpoint figures out how to reheat your coffee, they'll tell you after you've bought the firewall that you have to buy a coffee license, it'll be 2 months before you get it, then if you call in for support one guy would tell you they don't support it, and his manager would tell you to upgrade to the newest SP. Regarding your Client question: I don't see all that much difference between SecuRemote and Cisco VPN Client. They'll be competing fiercely over these next years and will emulate each other's successful features. -----Original Message----- From: Gasaway, Troy [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, January 24, 2002 11:18 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [FW-1] Checkpoint vs. Cisco VPN Client Okay, we have a new boss how loves Cisco and he thinks it is the answer to all. So, he has already ruled that all Site-to-Site VPNs are to be replace with Cisco gear. Now he is asking about the client side of Checkpoint. So, I need some strong facts as to why Checkpoint has a better VPN setup for the client side than Cisco. Unfortunately I am not up on Cisco products to much, but I hear that you can use Microsoft's IPSEC client to connect to a Cisco VPN device instead of using the Cisco client. I think this is the main reason he wants to use Cisco. Can you use Windows 2K to connect to Checkpoint or do I have to use the Checkpoint Client?
