And what i hate most is that Gartner reports *are* being taken seriously, causing "wag the dog effect" -- the "analysis" is worth nothing but its market influence is *damaging*. And what makes me wonder even more, even "sane" company spokespersons do refer to Gartner, increasing our universe enthropy and contributing to Gartner's reputation. For me it is just lack of responsibility. Every time you make a non-critical reference to Garter, Jesus cries and your karma falls below asolute zero. About this given particular report, i found it most annoying that it is simply ignored the McAfee/SC acquisition and impaired McAfee's "comleteness of vision" or how do they call it. For sime obscure reason Gartner *always* hated SC ;-) Seems that Gartner "analysts" either have no clue about firewall technologies at all or just were bribed by Checkpoint for years (who needs Checkpoint today? ;-) On Thu, May 20, 2010 at 10:13:27PM -0500, Victor Williams wrote:
The funniest part is that I assume the report is meant to be taken seriously, except "Magic" is part of its title. Actually, it doesn't get any funnier than that.
