Nothing really! I do wish there was a cloud portal to manage feild units :)

Edge routing and firewalling. We have also used them as cloud based VPN consolodators.

Great firewall for small to medium sized businesses

What do you like best about the product?
Hardened out of the box. Easy to configure. Based on open source instead of a proprietary OS.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have had software updates brick the firewall to the point I had to completely reload and restore from backup. A lot of the more robust features have to be installed through additional packages.

It allows me to provide a robust firewall option to my clients without breaking the bank.

A SOHO firewall with close-to-large-business capabilities

  • July 25, 2023
  • Review verified by G2

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.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.

  • July 25, 2023
  • Review verified by G2

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.

Easy to use and has many excellent features and addons.
What do you dislike about the product?
VPN has stopped working for a short while but has been fixed in a recent update.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
VPN from site to site and having it be a secure connection, website blocking and also cache most used sites and downloads saving bandwidth and internet speed.
