"Dirty piece of soft"
Version: Proxyfire 1.18
Pros
I couldn't find a pro for this.
Cons
People running this software perhaps are not aware that they are scanning thousands of IPs and quite a lot of ports, thus creating trouble. It's a waste of admin's time and a waste of bandwidth and, on top of that, unfair. If you want anonymity, you have much better tools as, for ex. Tor.
Summary
By using this, your IP will likely be considered as offensive and therefore, it will be no wonder if you find yourself banned in a lot of sites.

"Leaves much to be desired as proxy analyzing software"
Version: Proxyfire 1.18
Cons
Your "editor's review" fails to mention a very important fact about this program. It reports numerous transparent (non-anonymous) proxies as being anonymous. In my opinion this makes Proxyfire useless.
It gives the user the impression it is checking proxies very fast. However, in my opinion it is simply comparing your submitted list against an online pre-tested master list ... much the same as all online proxy checkers do. This is the chief reason why so many transparent proxies are reported as being anonymous. They were at some previous point in time, but the status of a proxy is momentary. and although the "master list" is (supposedly) checked regularly there is no way to keep it current and produce the desired quick results.
For this reason alone, the purchase of Proxyfire would be a total waste of money.
