pfSense is the center of my home network!
What do you like best about the product?
pfSense has apllowed me to take full control of my home network. I consider myself an advanced user and the software offers all the tools required for me to configure, monotor and secure my home network. Snort, pfBlockNG, Ubound and even NTOP. All great tools to take control.
What do you dislike about the product?

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Security monitoring, VPN for all my devices, networking

Great product with prompt support
What do you like best about the product?
Stable product, running without issues for more thant 10 years.
The documentation is very good.
We recently migrated to an appliance with pfSense+ and needed to contact the product support. They solved the problem in few minutes.

What do you dislike about the product?
The only issue we had was the difficulty updating pfSense+ due to a recently installed interface, and that cost us a lot of time trying to find the problem ourselves. This would be unnecessary if there was any warning that this happened when changing hardware. The positive part is that after contacting product support the issue was resolved within minutes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Connecting several VLANs to the Internet with separate NAT rules for each, Firewall, DHCP server, Virtual IP addresses, DNS resolver, NTP server.
Additionally, we're preparing the deployment of a new pfSense in a High Availability configuration.
