I am basically looking to see if this product is good or can I deploy other free products and get more out of them.
That largely depends on how much time you've got I'm afraid -- everything which Smoothwall is doing can be implemented in different ways, using free tools. Whether you want to spend 2 weeks tinkering about and implementing your 'perfect' setup is probably a cost:benefit decision you need to make ;) The most important question, in my opinion: does the product do what you want, is it 99% there? As to whether the product is good - only you can answer that :) That's like asking, "How long is a piece of string?" or "What is the best editor?" -- it will always cause people of different opinions to spout "It's complete bollocks" vs "It's the best thing ever" and none of those people are you, so it's pretty irrelevent spouting!
