Checkpoint, I am told are the market leader. But although I work on them
I hate them with a passion compared to the ASA. Yes there are advantages
like the logging and the VPN configuration. But when the SH1T hits the
fan and you need to debug them because something isn't working Cisco
wins hands down every time. Maybe I have had bad experiences but I have
seen windows servers more stable than a checkpoint.
From my personal view if you are costing up an enterprise Cisco vs
Checkpoint solution then you should include things like Cisco Security
Manager and Cisco Mars in the solution. This probably makes the Cisco
solution more expensive but it also makes it more feature rich than
checkpoint.

Subject: ASA vs Checkpoint
Hi Guys,
i have to evaluate between Cisco ASA and Checkpoint for a big
enterprise. I
think this is a better place to ask since lot of people would have
worked on
both products.
Please provide me all the plus points which you saw in checkpoint which
you
think currently Cisco ASA doesn't have or vice versa.
Also what feature's checkpoint has which you think should be must in
cisco
Firewalls .
Thanks
Dip
