Subject: New Checkpoint appliances Safe@Office ?
Hi Checkpointers,
we are intend to use the new Checkpoint
**********************
Safe@Office Appliances
**********************
and are very interested in feedback from
people who already started to use it. Any responses to
some of the questions below would be greatly
appreciated.
- is it based on Checkpoint "Small Office Software" ?
does the WebGui was improved in the Appliance ?
No, they called it Embedded NG (does not support
SmartDefense, AI, QoS,Load sharing...)
If you have CP SmartCenter, you can use VPN-1 Edge
instead. Since the Safe@Office is for one single
office management locally (no central management).
VPN-1 Edge can be managed by SmartCenter centrally.
- is there a cost free Management Server bundled like
in former CP small Office Versions ?
No. The Management server bundles is for a short
period of time. Then even u buy SmallOffice, you only
can use the WebGUI.
Both Safe@Office & VPN-1 Edge have WebGUI. From the
latest firmware, you can customize the firewall rules
in the WebGUI.
- Management only by WebGui or also from Management
Server
(Smart Center Server)
Handling of the rules with the WebGui ?
Only VPN-1 Edge can be management by SmartCenter.
Here's the details for the diff between Safe@office &
VPN-1 Edge

- experiences with "sql net" via vpn
check the throughput on the website
- vpn Experiences with Checkpoint Next Generation
FP1-3
as vpn - partner ?
Tested to build VPN with CP 4.1 and NG FP3
successfully.
- Possibility for Gateway-Gateway vpn ?
Depends on the model of the appliance, some only
support Client-to-site, some supports
Gateway-to-Gateway, check with the vendor for the
model or take a look at www.sofaware.com
- Logging, Logserver ?
Local logs on webUI, syslog or SmartView Tracker
(VPN-1 Edge only)
- Backup
Yes, there's an option in WebUI
- Costs for Checkpoint Safe@Office Update Service ?
Check your vendor or www.sofaware.com
Regards Helmar
