I don't usually get into the which is better debates because honestly I don't know products like Netscreen.
From what I have read and heard it probably is a better product pound for
pound than FW-1 which seems to have become persona non grata of later. However I will say this for it. For enterprise management it is extremely simple to maintain a cohesive security policy using it. I have 30+ firewalls to manage. I have myself to do that. That would be fine except that it's only one of several jobs I need to attend to. I need to be able to provide an adequate level of support without needing to spend hours on the product everyday. In my experience FW-1 really does a good job providing this. -----Original Message----- From: Vladimir Parkhaev [mailto:vladimir () arobas net] Sent: Monday, July 29, 2002 2:33 PM To: firewall-wizards () honor icsalabs com Subject: Re: [fw-wiz] PIX vs Checkpoint vs Sonicwall vs Netscreen - comments? Quoting Garcia, Nicholas A (Nicholas.A.Garcia () disney com):
I have a 5xp at home (Netscreen). I used to own a Watchguard FBII and I have used Raptor (Velociraptor), and Checkpoint on Nokia. I still love the Netscreen. The new OS coming out is a major improvement in usability too.
Can't keep my mouth shut anymore.... I managed them all - FW1, Pixes and Netscreen and in my opinion, Netscreen is the best all around product: 1. easy to manage for CLI challanged 2. full blown CLI for UNIX dudes 3. very stable and performant 4. reasonably priced 5. no window$ invloved ( why FW1 is still around? ) _______________________________________________ firewall-wizards mailing list firewall-wizards () honor icsalabs com http://honor.icsalabs.com/mailman/listinfo/firewall-wizards _______________________________________________ firewall-wizards mailing list firewall-wizards () honor icsalabs com http://honor.icsalabs.com/mailman/listinfo/firewall-wizards
