Erm..if you buy a TMG appliance, it will look like an appliance because it is 
an appliance...:)

I think that the idea that TMG is an appliance is going to be a difficult 
concept for people to grasp. It doesn't look like an appliance but it behaves 
like one. It's a UTM. UTM do a particular set of features. If you want 
something outside of the feature set then you use something else. I certainly 
wouldn't consider this a drawback on TMG, it's really a feature of any UTM 
appliance. If you want infinite flexibility then you don't buy UTM devices.

Headlines are headlines and it's the state of things that if you speak 
negatively about Microsoft products you'll get more readers. When you have more 
readers you live on to write another day. The article is much more positive 
than negative but one would never know that from the headline. It's all about 
clicks.

thanks,

Microsoft Threat Management Gateway has some drawbacks:

Read the article and then re-read the headline.

Nothing like "objective" editoralism ;)
