    Well-

    There are a *lot of differences between the PIX and FW-1.

    First the Pix will allow anything outbound unless explicitly denied. The
    FW-1 is opposite.
    The logging is also very different (( Log viewing I suppose )). The FW-1 has
    a nice GUI that you use to
    configure it and look at the log files. The pix has to send to syslog and be
    ran through something like sawmill.
    To really tweak the PIX you need to use the CLI. The GUI they have will work
    but my opinion is that is puts a lot of *** in the config you don't need
    especially PDM objects if you use names in your config.

    The PIX has a lot less parts to fail- The Check point has hard drives and
    the PIX has RAM / memory.

    Just ideas-

    JP

    i am studying for the CCSA and my Friend for CSPFA in the interchange of
    ideas we did not find differences significant; maybe two ; PIX run in OS
    for CISCO and CheckPoint in many platforms; and checkPoit have more
    products.

    My question is PIX or Checkpoint what is better and why.
