What do you like best about the product?
The documentation is incredibly detailed, and easy to follow. Everything just works. Any snags I've run into have been quickly resolved. Setup is super easy, and the capabilites are well beyond what I imagined

I have yet to find anything I dislike. The application has been perfect for our environment
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The business culture in this area is hesitant to spend money. Trying to sell a "Brand Name" firewall and subscription for 3x the price and the same capabilites would have been impossible

Like pfSense software a lot

  • February 26, 2024

What do you like best about the product?
I like its flexibility and, for me at least, logical layout.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be a little complex, but that's the nature of networking. I moved away from using a Unifi USG because of its lack of flexibility, so a little complexity is the price one must pay. I prefer that over the more cookbook approach that Unifi takes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Flexibly manage traffic among a set of VLANs and connect to two other sites and our AWS cloud servers and apps.

Security is top-notch and it offers anything I would like to have in a router!
What do you dislike about the product?
The price if I may say so, I am a home user for my personal usage and the price is outta my league but I love the software and I will re-adjust my personal needs just to keep my subscription active <3
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A lot of different VPN implementations, pfblockerng to block even contintents out of my game servers that I want to keep avail only in EU and North America.

Great product with exceptional support

  • December 31, 2023

What do you like best about the product?
- pfBlocker with advanced firewall features
- DNS resolver with Unbound
- advanced network segmentation (sorry, but we need something in addition for that)
- certificate management with LetsEncrypt and acme
- advanced HAproxy capabilities (we need secure access, right?)
- advanced IDP/IDS features, like suricata (although some argue about it usefulness, but better to try it first personally and then judge).
- squid. Everyone loves Squid.
- exceptional technical support
What do you dislike about the product?
traffic balancing and automated failover.
It's not that I don't like it, but I wish the installation was a little easier, let's take UDM pro as an example.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tech infrastructure is no longer “not our business.” Needless to say, the cornerstone of any infrastructure is the gateway, preferably an enterprise-grade one. And "enterprise grade" doesn't mean we have to break the bank to get Aruba or Cisco for our home lab. Netgate with pfSense+ is an affordable enterprise alternative that allows you to experience most of the features required by demanding customers, asking for enhanced protection of their OCP/K8s clusters
