A day later, the NGX product is no longer listed (though there are links to it *everywhere* on their site, it's not actually listed as one of their products).
Is VPN-1 UTM the replacement for NGX? Where does VPN-1 Power fit in (it doesn't seem to include many of the features of VPN-1 UTM)?
I haven't yet figured out what the upgrade path is or should be. We're a small-to-mid-sized company, but we need high-availability. We'd like as much security as possible from the checkpoints, but it seems their "Enterprise" product (VPN-1 Power) doesn't have the security features of their UTM products?
And then, everything refers to R55, R60, and R61. How do these fit in with their product names?
I hate to sound like a newb, but I'm all confused. |
Actually, it's not just newbies that are confused; we all are. What's shown on Check Point's web site appears to be little more than marketing hype with very few facts, even in the datasheets. There seems to be a disconnect between the marketing people who come up with the product names and the programmers who come up with the products.
Even the resellers I know complain that it's all confusing now.
Sorry I don't have more answers; I'm waiting for Check Point to clarify things.
