Re: [Skunkworks] Checkpoint vs. Fortigate (U.T.M.)...
Alex, 1. Local distribution is available - Redington. 2. Skill set and support - express automation, gestalt gild limited, business connections, dimension data, redington 3. Support licensing - this is bundled on purchase of appliance. With all said and done fortigate stands out of the crowd. You can get references from organisation's already using it.

Have done several implementations on Checkpoint, and believed it was a better product looking at what it could achieved in terms of Information Security(not data but IS - people, processes and technology,PPT) but my last implementation on Fortigate, I have now realised its the better option. On cyberoam I saw it last in 2009.. cannot comment alot of it since its like Sagem to me. BR/ Antony On Fri, Feb 13, 2015 at 8:02 PM, Jacob Nganyi via skunkworks < skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> wrote:
