Do what you need and more!
What do you like best about the product?
Can tune and set pretty much anything related to networking. Another exciting aspect is the ability to download and install plugins, which add extra functionality to an already very functional device.
What do you dislike about the product?
On whatever section of the GUI you are in, there are many possible settings, but leaving them with their default values will suffice most of the time. I wonder if pfSense should have a quick settings view with only the most used options to make it easier for those who do not need all these extra settings.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I got a pfSense to replace the router provided by my ISP. I got much more than a simple hardware upgrade. I'm studying about the pfSense capabilities and I'm getting very pleased with all the features it has and now I'm slowly implement in my network those features I deem useful to me.
Open source is the way to go if you have a little patience
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about pfSense is its web UI, hands down. Nothing comes close. Also great: FreeBSD o/s, and open source nature. Proprietary vendors still have not caught up on GUI or price.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's not quite as reliable as some of the high-end vendors. Cisco IOS is basically bulletproof. I've had bad experiences with Netgate hardware, too. But you can't compare the value-for-money.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
all-in-one VPN, edge routing, general network appliance (DNS, DHCP). Eliminates the need to run dedicated VMs or machines for these services. It's made things more streamlined in terms of administration.
