"Doesn't work"
Version: Sygate Personal Firewall 5.6.2808
Pros
None that I can think of.
Cons
If you are still running Windows XP, it might work for you.
-
"Reliable Firewall"
Version: Sygate Personal Firewall 5.6.2808
Pros
I like that this firewall is so easy for beginners. Because of the way it works, it wasn't constantly asking me to allow or deny internet access to various programs and services. I also really liked that it isn't a resource hog, as I don't have much memory in the machine it's installed on, only 1G. Very easy to use, and I trust it because of its parent company, Norton. According to the knowledge I have of them, they're reliable.
Cons
Can't think of any.
Summary
An all round good firewall, and the sandbox feature gives peace of mind.

"Best firewall I have tried."
Version: Sygate Personal Firewall 5.6.2808
Pros
Requires little or no configuration. Doesn't get in the way as some other firewalls do.
Cons
No longer being actively developed.
Summary
Sygate was bought out by Symantec several years ago. Symantec discontinued the product, which is too bad because it is still the best firewall software available.
From time to time I have tried some of the newer ones out there, and I always end up disappointed. The tried-and-true Sygate Personal Firewall does not disappoint. -

Summary
None
I previously used this software and have always been well satisfied with it as my firewall.

"Good protection"
Version: Sygate Personal Firewall 5.6.2808
Pros
It certainly caught anything trying to access the net.
Cons
pop ups all the time. Like "winamp is trying to access the internet" Even after you click the "dont show this again" it still comes back. Annoying.
Summary
Overall good but takes over the computer a bit. I have gone back to windows firewall (xp) as it just does the job and you rarely see any issues.

"The best so far!"
Version: Sygate Personal Firewall 5.6.2808
Pros
I have tested 14 free firewall products and this is the best so far. Very easy to install and configure. User friendly interface with a lot of room for tweaking.
Cons
I haven't found any yet
Summary
How can you go wrong with a free firewall made by Norton? It works great, has a sandbox feature, and one right click on the tray icon gives you total control.

"release date 2004! - nothing more to say"

- no root download link (no official link)

"Excellent product for any personal Desktop/Laptop"
Version: Sygate Personal Firewall 5.6.2808
Pros
(1) Light weight
(2) Simple UI - easy for any level of users
(3) Very easy to operate/manageCons
(1) It still asks for the registration - which is perhaps no longer working (as parent compant has changed)
(2) Under some specific circumstances I have seen this failing to load during startup (& even service fails to start). But this is very rare.Summary
Overall an EXCELLENT, light-weight product to have in your system - particularly if you want to control what kind of traffic comes in or leaves your system.
One issue to be noted: Since the original s/w was released way back around 2004, it doesn't seem to work anymore with latest OS e.g. Win 7
