Hi Vineet,

 Other things which you may would like to consider are:
    1. Common attack detection and prevention.
    2. ALG Support (There are some applications that don't work
            without ALG support such as H.323, FTP, RTSP, SQL*NET,
                based on your requirement DNS for twice NAT)
    3. Performance.
    4. Flexible user interface.
    5. Type of NAT support.

    Analyze your security requirements and make sure that
    firewall satisfies your needs. "

Recently I was asked to evaluate Securepoint 3.0 firewall. On what basis
one should evaluate this firewall? Some of the points i can think of
are:

1) Reports details/format
2) Managebility
3) Stability
4) Modules/Features

Any more points or detailed things I should consider in evaluating this
firewall? Any suggestion is welcome.

Thanks

Regards,
