I am not referring to managed services. I mean a firewall that is fully configurable (managed), not one that is basically "plug it in and defaults reign" (unmanaged). Similar to managed vs. unmanaged switches (my primary switch is managed, my others are unmanaged).
Managed services is a touchy subject for me. They're pushed heavily by IT firms because they're hugely profitable and they really do very little for the client. The IT companies adopt a specific brand and they have systems that automate almost everything; it is very rare for an actual human to ever look at devices under managed services unless they receive an automated notification of an issue.
