The idea itself is quite good for some cases (do not rely on port numbers, use
traffic signatures *instead*). Though it sounds much as "giving up application control" ;-)

The marketing bullshit is awful, though. There is a dozen whitepapers with amazingly little
useful technology details but too many buzzwords about "next generation".

Despite that, it seems to be quite decent product with (still DPI-driven) L7 inspection,
(quite basic) DLP functionality builtin
(still much better than nothing), data fingerprinting and reasonable performance
(though i am strongly against justifying firewalls by performance).
