pfSense is a no-nonsense part of our network security
What do you like best about the product?
I can configure just about anything in pfSense. It is a much better value offering than other vendors, and due to its open source nature, I was even able to fix a bug in the ACME package that handles Let's Encrypt certificate renewing.
The interface is not extremely modern but it is very functional.
I also buy Netgate hardware for my devices, but this is not a requirement, which I love.

What do you dislike about the product?
There is controversy in the community about some of Netgate's historical practices around a competing project called OPNsense, so any time a question or problem is posted, a pack of seagulls descend on the post to say they use OPNsense instead. Great, thanks?
I do hope that Netgate continues to ignore the drama and make a great open source product I can depend on.

Provides a configurable, extensible firewall that serves as the backbone of our small business network.
Non-nonsense firewall with powerful protection
What do you like best about the product?
pfSense is very light weight and simple to deploy. It meets the needs for nearly all firewall needs. Community support is very deep and if there has been a question previously asked the Community usually has already answered it. If you are concerned about its open source roots in a production environment you can rest assured that you always have TAC support. TAC support is very knowledgeable and they have the answers. They don't guess or use trial and error methods to solve your problems. The integrations with pfBlocker, OpenVPN and HAProxy make the firewall much more useful without additional costs. Our company install pfSense nearly everywhere because it’s easy to use and it works.
What do you dislike about the product?
I haven't found a significant dislike to pfSense. I suppose the biggest hurdle when deploying pfSense firewalls is dispelling the myth that all open source software is somehow inferior to commercial alternatives.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
pfSense provides a cost effective alternative to commercial firewalls that are poorly documented and supported.
Great open source product

Used pfSense software on a FreeBSD machine. When I saw Netgate was offering pre-configured hardware that was running it buying it was a no brainer.
What do you dislike about the product?
Did have to contact support when I could not upgrade the Netgate 1100 to the latest build.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
