It has, in all my experiences here, proved to be difficult to get along
with in certain software environments. It doesn't uninstall very well. It
isn't rules based, so it's not very configurable. The logging is pretty
much useless. It makes it d**n hard sometimes to play LAN games and there
are some instances where it literally has to be shut down in order to go to
a site that is otherwise not a great risk. A firewall you need to disable
even once in awhile isn't worth the space on the drive.
It's good for people who don't want to learn how to set up a firewall,
because it isn't that hard to use. I believe that if it's the only
firewall available, or the only one the user feels comfortable with, then
it's better than nothing. It's also better than XP's built-in. As far as
firewalls go, though, there's lots better at the same price (even if free).
