I got one of their free demos, and was not particularly impressed.

Among the sillier features:

You're stuck using a windows machine with their proprietary software
to configure/administer it.  Worse yet, this machine _must_ be on the 
same network segment as the firewall.  Kind of annoying for some
situations.

Any change to the firewall configuration requires a reboot of the
device.  While it is rebooting, your internet access is cut off
completely.  Obviously not intended for serious use.
