Why is ti that nobody seems to have heard of Checkpoint?

They have been the market leader in enterprise firewall/VPN software for many years and have a great product. yes they are going into something new in the PF arena, but I would see this as a positive for both sides.

Lets put it this way. I have tried ZA in the past and swore I would never touch it again because of it's lack of advanced feature. Now I will once again consider it.
