Checkpoint vs. Cisco ASA

The only thing I have heard is Cisco was trying to get one
of our clients to migrate to the ASA
appliance, so they gave the customer a demo box. In the five
days they had the device in, it rebooted
about 10 times due to not being able to handle the traffic
load, and completely wigged out twice and
had to be hard reset.

Hi,

Our company is considering replacing our Checkpoint firewall
for a Cisco 
ASA-5520 appliance.  Does anyone on this list have any
experience with ASA 
box, and if so what is your opinion on them.   We are
currently running 
R55 on our Corrent SR200 appliance, and are looking at
migrating to a Dell 
Poweredge 1950 server with R61/R62 (not sure which is best
to go to).

I need some ammunition on pros/cons of Cisco compared to
Checkpoint.

Any information would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks,

Sean

Cisco makes good networking products but their security
products are lousy.
  Instead of developing their own security IDS/IPS product
line, it would be better
  for Cisco to acquire SourceFire.
