vShield Zones capabilities and limitations

Can anyone help me to identify what vShield Zones capabilities and Limitations are? The product documentation seems very vague. I found this article that claims it's not particularly "robust" and that concerns me. Can anyone shed any light on what he may be referring to?

http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/virtualization-pro/why-use-vshield-zones/

Compared to, say a consumer grade firewall (Linksys or D-Link) how does vShield stack up?

Compared to a professional firewall, like SonicWall or Watchguard, how does it stack up?

What have you found to be it's limitations or frustrations? What do you consider it's best use case for?

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for asking this. It inspired me to write a blog post because I've been testing vShield Zones now for the past week.
