EAM vs. EIS; how important is Emsisoft firewall?

[mal1]

In other words, how good is EAM on its own? What kind of protection does Emsisoft built-in Firewall offer? And how does this firewall compare to Windows Firewall, Online Armor (which has HIPS and used by Emsisoft in the past), Comodo Firewall etc.


I'm not even sure if Emsisoft own built-in firewall has HIPS (like Online Armor), probably not judging by comments on this thread Emsisoft internet security or Anti-Malware + Online Armor

Another similar thread with many suggestions (EAM+ Windows Firewall, EAM + Comodo Firewall, EAM+ Glasswire + Windows Firewall etc.) but no clear consensus Is Emsisoft Anti-Malware Full protection or do I need a seperate firewall?

Emsisoft Firewall (integrated in Emsisoft Internet Security) was rebuilt from scratch and not based on Online Armor.

Minimal firewall alerts
So that you aren’t tempted to just click "Allow", which basically defeats the purpose of having a firewall in the first place.

Advantages in comparison to Windows firewall
Easier and quicker to use, with the ability to evaluate the credibility of programs in a global context.

EAM + Windows Firewall : its ok , but you won't have outbound connections notifications.
OA : obsolete , discontinued, cant manage IPv6 and other stuff
EIS: all-in-one solution , easy to use

Besides its made from the scratch, you can assure that the effectiveness is bounded against the latest attacks from network and other hackers so complexity is well balance.
