I have Sidewinder and I love it, but I don't know anything about Gauntlet
except that a lot of people love it and use it. Secure Computing sent me
a printed interview with Peter Stephenson of InfoSEC Technologies. He is
suppose to be an expert in security who does work for companies to see if
he can crack their security, among other things. Peter claims that
Sidewinder is the only firewall that he hasn't been able to break into or
through. He used ISS and many other tools.
Now you have to remember that the source of this interview was Secure
Computing, but they have always play very straight with me. This may or
may not help you.

I have to choose between Gauntlet and Sidewinder as a Firewall solution.
Both products meet my laundry list requirements. Both can do the job of
securing my network, but which one is better? What I'm looking for is
which one is better then the other as far as easy of use, overall
security
and support from the vender. I have all the general vender info, but I'm
looking for strong technical reasons why I should go with one or the
other.
I'm a new kid on the block. This is my first Firewall experience. I
haven't had the luxury of seeing many Firewalls in use, or being able to
play and fiddle with them. I'm open to all input and all advise. I need
to
take advantage of someone else's experiences.
