Great Product but shame its only BYOL?
This is a great product and Ive used many of their hardware boxes. Its does very good all-round protection and application control.
Its a shame that its BYOL only, I have had to use a competitor product in AWS more often as a result of this as it doesn't fit in with the Elastic Computing Model.
