Excellent defensive functionalities at a good price
I like the real time updating, and the 'PUSH' technology. Internet threats are being released so rapidly (and evolving even faster) that real time defensive patching is essential. It is also attractive that ALL the defensive measures that should be available are incorporated in the Network Box, and that they are integrated to work together. I am still using a desktop solution at home, which uses 'pull' technology for updates. I find that the conventional 'pull' updates simply leaves me unpatched for far too long, and allows threats into the network before starting to defend against them. The only downsides to a Network Box? It is very pricey for the individual home user. And, initially it looks expensive, even for a business. But I like the lifetime hardware guarantee and the relatively low cost-per-user once the price is spread over the entire office network. Even the initial purchase price is not really a barrier, especially as it includes future software upgrades at no extra cost.
