Of course you would disagree, you work for cyberguard.

You need to take a look at this bakeoff, it's very comprehensive and I
guess independent, which I can't say about your datasheets.

It does say some nice things about cyberguard, but the netscreen is
the number one choice.

Good morning Ivan,

Thank you for your email.

I afraid I have to disagree with your comments concerning Netscreen &
therefore have attached some information to state why CyberGuard is a
better product than Netscreen.  E.g. CyberGuard is the only firewall
vendor that does stateful inspection at the application level.

I have attached a comparison sheet along with a link that proves this.

Netscreen may be cheaper, but like they say in life "you get what you
pay for"

products, then please do not hesitate to contact me.

Value for money, plus performance, you can't go past a netscreen.

cheers

Try this web:

/"The Tolly Group's  program provides end-users
independently-validated
information across a range of technologies. "/

The following is a performance comparison, (Checkpoint vs. Netscreen
vs.

Cisco):

Dear list members,

I am looking for comparison of different enterprise level firewalls
and
was wondering if you could help me with that.

I am sure someone has done such a comparison based on effectiveness,
performance, throughput, price, other features etc. of leading vendors
(Cisco, Checkpoint, Netcreen, Symantec, Cyberguard, SonicWall etc.)and
I
am just not able to find it one the web. Would someone be kind enough
to
point me in the right direction?

Thanks so much!

Sumeet
