Depends what you mean by "good", which is a little too general to rate
something as complex as a firewall.  In relation to Firewall-1 it is
cheaper, it is possibly as efficient and as secure ( with the right
configuration ), configuration is more difficult IMHO... and all that
depends on the situation you're using it and the skill of the
administrators.

At the least it's free to try... :)
