They are also quite expensive because they have to generate certs on the fly.   
If you look at environments where these are in use, they tend to be either 
high-margin, or else low-use.   So e.g. you only redirect TLS connections that 
you absolutely need to intercept through the box; other connections are 
terminated normally.   Practically speaking, I don't see any cash-strapped 
school spending money on one of these devices.
