Checkpoint can be a pain to set up, expensive too. It has a gui so once you get it working you can talk a novice through changing firewall rules in an emergency, don't know whether you would wan't to do that with a PIX even if you had to :) Never used Checkpoint NG. Used 4.1 in production. Documentation sucks. I hear Netscreen is popular in the States.

Tolly juse doesn't like Cisco because they won't pay money for
"independent testing" to be done.... So Tolly = Anything But Cisco.
The PIX is very good. NetScreen is very good. CheckPoint is not.
Be aware that each and every one of them has their quirks, or potential
problem areas. That's the beauty of healthy competition! :)

I'm not saying that the Tolly Group is a bad source of information but I
won't put 100% into everything that they write. Any idea who pays for
them to run those tests? Companies pay for those tests and may times
they know the results before hand.
Lastly remember its www.tolly.com not www.tolly.org ;-)
