Just got some Csco Pix 500s and the CSM software cannot perform the
policy mgt we were wanting, scale, dangling rules, and also manage our
CheckPoint firewalls. Any helpon any tools out there we can use?

Hi Gunther,

Using multiple vendor solutions, do not think you will find one
management console solution to control all the different vendors'
products that meet your every business requirement.

You may find solutions that say they can, but advanced feature
configuration and other components will most likely only be configured
from the vendor's specific configuration tool - as you have already
found out.

Vendors tend to over promise and under deliver.

The best thing is to define your business requirements in detail, then
and only then can a possible solution be identified, and it may not
meet all of your requirements either.

You may wish to investigate - extraxi:

as well as - netForensics:

http://www.netforensics.com

for future reference.

Sincerely,

Brad Reese

I suggest you examine www.solsoft.com . The paper specs on
their policy manager product are very attractive, but I have not
had a chance to experiment with their product [and I work on
completely different kinds of work now, so it may be some time before
I could give it a go-over myself.]
