This information is directly available in the policy editor. You can find the unused rules with a couple of clicks and clean up your policies to better reflect the actual information flow. Rule counters are a convenient tool also in troubleshooting tasks.

StoneGate’s
Domains solution gives excellent tools for managing large environments. You can simplify the environments by dividing them to separated domains. At the same time you can still share the common elements like policy templates by keeping them in “Shared Domain”. The Domains are especially useful for Managed Security Service Providers but also large enterprises may find Domains useful when there is need to simplify the environments and divide administrators’ responsibilities.
