When should a corporation consider using one of these three firewalls? The choice depends on its needs. If it wants top of the line defense that provides detailed reports (including graphs), then the Cisco PIX is the best choice. If the corporation needs a good defense but cannot afford the PIX, OpenBSD is an effective, inexpensive choice. Based on the testing results of this project, SmoothWall Express is not an effective option for a corporation.
