FWIW, ICSA Labs seem to disagree:

However, as mentioned in their report, this box polls hard-coded NTP
servers and I'm against that sort of asinine configuration. It also did
not report scans or known DoS attacks so I'd be curious if these have
been fixed in newer firmware releases.

Their testing criteria have a pretty good differentiation between SOHO,
small/medium business, and enterprise class firewalls.
