PFSense Review
What do you like best about the product?
PFSense is a Great Solution for Small Companies that are Cost-Sensitive but still require excellent Protection. Online Documentation is vast and easy to navigate and to implement.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some basic Features are, at times, complicated to configure, and although a vast community is available for support, some solutions are not easy to implement for a normal end user. Software upgrades always need to be thoroughly tested as they can regularly break your Firewall Configs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
PFSense has excellent Perimeter and Network Protection for smaller SMB's, and the Out of the Box features are great. VPN Solutions work great without significant Challenges.
Easiest to use Firewall Solution, period.
What do you like best about the product?
I use it at home and work. Easy to set up, easy to configure. The community has been great. The few times I've contacted support, they have been excellent with a fast turnaround on my ticket.
What do you dislike about the product?
There have not been any downsides to using pfSense at home or in the office. pfSense does what I wanted it to do, and that was to protect my networks!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With the Netgate programmers actively working on FreeBSD, and add-ons such as Wireguard, that brings the added benefit of code that has been reviewed and is known to work in the firewall.
