Not sure I agree with the word "common". "Expensive" would be better.
Who would use security software that doesn't ship with the source code, anyway? How can you trust something that you can't even see?
You're kidding right? I've never seen a major enterprise yet that didn't use one of those brands of firewalls. Maybe Pix's and Palo Alto's are common for bootstrapped startups, but they're ubiquitous in big business networks.
