Nokia is far from that now. They will support the Check Point software as long as it's pertaining to the Nokia somehow. This includes on your Windows management station if it's pushing a policy to a Nokia somewhere in there. If needed they will also escalate any problem up to Check Point directly as they are a partner with them.

So if Crossbeam doesn't do anything support related when it comes to the Check Point software, that would mean that you would need to additionally purchase support from Check Point as well.

Not sure about anyone else but I like the single point of contact, that way you don't get into the argument that one vender accuses the other of having the problem.
