Like pfSense software a lot

  • February 26, 2024
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like its flexibility and, for me at least, logical layout.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be a little complex, but that's the nature of networking. I moved away from using a Unifi USG because of its lack of flexibility, so a little complexity is the price one must pay. I prefer that over the more cookbook approach that Unifi takes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Flexibly manage traffic among a set of VLANs and connect to two other sites and our AWS cloud servers and apps.
