What do you dislike about the product?
I cant think of anything at this time that I dislike.

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.
PFsense, Is one of the firewalls that has best adapted to my entire work
What do you like best about the product?
I like the adaptability and ease of use, as well as the great community that supports it
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't have any bad reviews. On the contrary, it is a robust tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It solves my network security problems. In addition to facilitating the efficient administration of the resources of my work environment
A firewall that delivers
What do you like best about the product?
The opensource nature of the software solution
What do you dislike about the product?
The time it will take for a new person to learn it. But that is true for all software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
pfSense solves a firewall issue with Comcast Business (CB), where their firewall solution is inferior. The pfSense firewall is very mature and offers better TCP/IP traffic control than CB.
Powerful and user friendly
What do you like best about the product?
I value being able to run sophisticated software in an easy to use interface. It's constantly being developed and the support is top notch in the rare event that I need to use it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Debugging the firewall policies can be difficult as there is no great real time tool to do so. Finding the offending rule is a especially a challenge with the dynamic block lists.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Securing our office's internet access. We block users from being able to go to questionable destinations, which mitigate the risk of downloading malware and participating in bot nets
LAN/WAN Manager
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use, price, availability, and features.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing I dislike, but if you need something...maybe a more modern GUI
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main problem is hardware availability and with pfSense they have equipment in stock
