Powerful, simple and good value
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ease through which I can set up network services. For instance it took minutes to create a self signed certificate for OpenVPN server and then setup clients on multiple operating systems including iOS. Now I can get to my gear behind the Netgate pfSense firewall using transport layer security from anywhere in the world without breaking the bank or fraying my nerves with complex setup.
What do you dislike about the product?
The process of an upgrade from a blank device to a fully functioning set of services lacked guidance on device but the online guides were adequate.

I am able to access my office equipment while out of the office without having to pay for always on cloud services

A SOHO firewall with close-to-large-business capabilities
What do you like best about the product?
The functionalities with the additional packages, the forum and the community, the support - all superb for a very reasonable price.

The FreeBSD based OS is not for everyone, if you are a beginner in *NIX systems - practice a bit before you dig in.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The built-in blacklists, the geo-filtering and the ad-free life made the work in the office easier, with less interruptions from non-reliable sources.
Long time user, steep learning curve but probably the best router/firewall distro out there.
What do you like best about the product?
Complex but caters faor a lot of use cases, definitely worth your time if you are concerned about the security of your network. I've been using it since it was monowall :)
What do you dislike about the product?
It really could be more user friendly, not everyone has the time (unless you're a professional) to learn it which is a pity since it really is heads and shoulders above what your typical home/SOHO router can do.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Site to site VPN is my main use, I wish the setup was more user friendly but as it is it works pretty well.
Got tech support like you were a fortune 500 !

Their products are affordable for remote workers/SME who want to cover their network security needs. If you have a problem with an update, you open a ticket and their support team will quickly contact you the same day to help you solve the problem. They are knowledgeable and friendly people you can trust.
What do you dislike about the product?
Technical support is in English only. For some people this can be overwhelming.

It is an easy-to-deploy firewall that reduces attacks on your network and the resulting loss of productivity.
