Re: Centralized firewall management and log analysis tools

[john dow <guest01 () gmail com>]

Hi,

If money is not a concern, I would recommend Check Point. We have quite
a big Check Point deployment as well as Juniper Firewalls,
Phion/Baracuda Firewalls and some Cisco Firewalls (ASA, PIX). Check
Point has by far the best tools for managing a centralized deployment.
Even their IPS-blade is much better now that I has been before. For log
analysis you could use Check Point Eventia Reporter and with Tufin, you
can do much more, e.g. track changes, compliance, ...
I am not a Check Point guy and I regularly complain about Check Point
myself, but it is definitely the best package I have experienced yet.

hth,
Peter
