I have recently been considering going back to a PIX
myself. One argument in favor of that would be that
most of my experiences with Checkpoint support have not
been good, and believe it has worsened over the last several
years. Anyone want to share their feelings on overall
satisfaction with Checkpoint support? Combine that with
their lousy documentation (in comparision I feel Cisco's
docs are second to none), and very high price of their
products and support contracts, those PIX boxes are looking
better every year. Does anyone know if Cisco has come
up with a user friendly GUI yet?
