Hi all,

does anyone have experience or possible suggestions for software and/or hardware solutions that could help me analyze 
existing firewall rules for possible issues and make suggestions according to Best Practices. We have mix of 
PIX/ASA's, Checkpoints as well as Junipers. It would be really beneficial if solution would make use of existing rule 
hit counts to determine which rules are not optimal or not needed.
