"The most valuable feature of this solution is application control."
"It does a little bit better than some of the other products health-wise and updates-wise. It is really clear that a firewall is getting the signature updates in this timeframe.

"So if it's more than a thousand, there could be some scalability issues. It becomes more complex as you go."
