First off - let me start off by somewhat agreeing with you. I own CHKP right now - and own NONE of NETA. And what is compelling for our clients about NETA is receiving support from ONE company - and dealing with singular relationships from ONE company - that is what is compelling about NETA. I fully understand the issues regarding product integration - and OPSEC with CHKP has that - true - but what companies who purchase CHKP with product from the OPSEC alliance dislike is all the different relationships that need to be maintained - as well as multiple support teams.
