Pros
Pro Allows notifications of new outgoing connections
Pro Can disable or delete new rules that you did not create
Pro Stand-alone
Doesn't install to registry. Runs from a folder. Have it start with Windows boot.
Pro Gives control over outgoing
This is the primary deficiency with Windows Firewall. With Windows 10 Firewall Control you can get notifications of programs trying to send, and approve/deny, permanently or one-time.
Cons
Con Will not run
Con Very nasty default sound
But can be disabled.
Con The free version does not allow you to configure ports or IP addresses

eg: Java manual updates. Have to wait a bit during the install process to get notice from WFC and then approve the outgoing, one time only, before hitting "try again" in Java install.
