The perfect Prosumer router
What do you like best about the product?
My Netgate 6100 is fast, simple, and secure. It also has enough oomph to run any reasonable combination of a reverse proxy, an IPS, ad blockers, and has a pleasantly functional web UI. And it never breaks a sweat.
I expect it to be a great router for ten solid years. Probably longer.
It's the best investment you can make for solid home internet. Buy simple WAPs and update them every so often. Keep your router the same. It's perfect.

The pfSense documentation could be a little better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I work efficiently and effortlessly whenever I need a new network service. I can even prototype public services with relative comfort, knowing that it tries very hard to keep the bad guys away.
Wide set of features with easy disaster recovery
What do you like best about the product?
For us the pfsense makes the maintenance work of our external enpoints very easy to comprehend. We sadly had a crashing pfsens hardware but luckely we had a recent backup, we restored the backup to the new hardware and just like that we where up and running again. We where in contact with support to get a new firmware for another one and the support is fast and very informative.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can sometimes be hard to fine tune settings for very specific needs, but that most likely lack of competence on our side.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A competent loadbalancer for http traffic and wireguard VPN.
