Disappointed about new Checkpoint 23900 Firewalls HPP

We bought new CheckPoint 23900 FWs are already had two big problems.

  1. We were not able to receive the actual R80.20 GA take. Neither online or offline were successful. We just received an strange error massage.

We contacted the CheckPoint Support and they told us "yeah this bug has already happend for other customer, please just reinstall R80.20 with isomorphic and you are fine." -> Nothing was documented about this known bug

Problem was solved with this "workaround"

  1. During our migration period we had to shutdown one of our bond interfaces. A shutdown caused a core dump / crash and rebooted the systems. After two reboots our RAID1 was corrupted and we had to wait to re-establish the RAID.

Currenty I am rully frustrated about this new 23900 model. Also the lack of documentation and bugs with the Firewall is really frustrating, if you think about the 6-digit price tag. I expected a much more stable and less buggy system to be honest.

Has somebody same experiences with this model or with Checkpoint overall ?

My experiences with Fortigate the last two years were much more positiv.
