You should take a look at Common Criteria, where firewalls are compared more
objectively.

The most favored are, as certified by Common Criteria and standardised
atleast in this part of the world - are Borderware / Steelgate, Cyberguard
and Sidewinder.

Common criteria evaluates based on more specific security architecture.

True application level firewall is considered safe and more resilient, vs
any SPI / Cut through proxies.

Hi All

For your comparison on enterprise level firewalls, point the link to

https://www.icsalabs.com/icsa/main.php?pid=gddfg,

this gives more information on individual products based on products
certified under The Modular Firewall Certification Criteria Version

or
based on corporate deployment / small business deployment / residential
usage

You could also see the Firewall Product Developers Consortium (FWPD)
page in the ICSA site for more knowledge on their products ,
development and testing before release of the products

One can also find a wealth of information like
