It's all about marketing. Netscreen claims that you can get better
performance on their boxes because it's all ASIC based processing. They
also claim that their firewall cannot be broken into because there is no OS
(which is a wrong statement). Hate to tell ya, but their wrong. I have
seen better performance on the PIX 515e, 535, Astaro running on a PIII
900Mhz, and even the newer X series from Watchguard (which has an Intel
CPU). I've never been a fan of Netscreen. The only product they have
that's decent is their IDP solution. VERY expensive.

We run Raptor, PIX, and NetScreen. PIX is rock solid, but everyone really
seems to be liking the NetScreen lately.

I'd put Netscreen on the top of my list.
I like Checkpoint as well, but it can be a bit pricey.
Pixnose Firewall, well... :p

I'm with Evan on the PIX. You just can't beat the reliability.=3D20
I have a lot of Sonicwalls out there, too. I've had a slew of software and
hardware problems with them, but the GUI makes it easy to configure.

I've used Cisco PIX's and Watchguard Firebox series extensively. The PIX is
a better device IMO, but the Watchguard gives you some added features, such
as the ability to have a webblocker, built in logging (no need to dump to
syslog), an easier to use GUI (when compared to PDM on the PIX). There's a
few other things you can license to make the Watchguard more of an
all-in-one as opposed to a firewall only like the PIX's are.
I havn't used the new Firebox X series, but used the II/III and under heavy
load, I've had both models lock up on me, requiring hard reboot.
I'm more of a CLI guy, and the Watchguard's have no CLI, so keep that in
mind if you are a CLI type of guy.

Just want to get the illustrious list's opinion on firewalls out there.
We currently run a Netware product and are looking to replace it.
Opinions on firewalls? Either hardware or running on a server.=3D3D20
