The currnet NT version is pretty basic with little application content
screening, limited integration with NT domains etc. but Milkyway is
promising a lot in their next release and the price is reasonable.

You might be a little more concerned about their financial situation
since there is no point in buying a security product from a company
which doesn't have the resources to continually enhance it.  Milkyway
had a very bad loss last quarter, the founder was fired and they have
laid off 1/3 of their staff. You might want to ask the Milkyway rep for
some reassurance that they are in a position to support the product over
the long term.
