Checkpoint is a software based firewall which can be
installed on various operating systems such as Windows,
Linux, IPSO, Solaris and thus make the Operating system to
become a stateful firewall.
Cisco Firwalls are not operation system firewalls, its IOS
based.

Cisco ASA doesnt provide this information other than this
Cisco ASA requires seperate syslog server for logging in cisco
Logging and tracking is easy and comprehensive in
checkpoint, with identity awareness blade, you would have
machined details along with user ID information logged.

Below are the difference between Checkpoint and Juniper Firewall from my view and understand.
Difference between Checkpoint and Juniper Firewalls:
Juniper follows two-tier architecture whereas Checkpoint follows three-tier architecture.
Juniper uses the concept of Deep inspection process where as the checkpoint uses the stateful inspection process.
Juniper uses the concept of Zones whereas Checkpoint do not use.
Netscreen firewalls can be administered locally or from a central management station, Checkpoint firewalls really can't be administered locally without connectivity to a SmartCentre.
Netscreens are appliances, you can't put any vendor's network interfaces in it, and you don't have the driver issues to deal with when Dell/HP/Intel/Broadcom/etc. change chipsets.
Netscreens firewalls require the policies to be written as "from trusted-zone to untrusted-zone" so the definition of "any" is different to Checkpoint.

Answer / vineeth mukundan
Context based mode in Cisco has the following limitations:
1.VPN Services will not work such as Remote access or Site
to Site VPN Tunnels
2.In context mode dynamic routing protocols not supported,
you have to use static routes only
3. Threat Detection ( IDS/IPS) not supported
4.QOS not supported
5.ASA Resources are shared for various contexts within the
Hardware platform
Checkpoint will not have his limitation since you can scale
up the base hardware based on requirement on number of
Virtual firewalls you would want to implement and also
easily portable to new hardware

Checkpoint is software that you install on a server class
machine to make it a dedicated firewall appliance.
The PIX is a hardware device.
