Smoothwall UTM brought reliability to some of our branches where the main objective was to protect the network from external intruders, DDoS attacks, malware and allow the use of VPN remote to connect remote workers. The great advantage of this solution is a bundle containing all the necessary features to protect the network and at a much more affordable price. Among other essential features that we use is the control of URL browsing by proxy and filtering of prohibited and bandwidth consuming applications. The solution arrived to solve the problems of branches that needed security and features to offer remote work at affordable prices.
  • URL Filter and Proxy server.
  • Visibility of user traffic and blocking of specific applications.
  • Anti-Malware Solution.
  • Load balancing and links.
  • Excellent license price.
  • Rare problems have been noticed when there are many connections at the same time.
After a year of using the Smoothwall UTM Firewall solution, we can say that it is a secure solution, it offers a graphical interface for configuration and access with easy understanding and usability, the security features and blocking of url and applications work very well and also protects against malware and ransomware. For small and even intermediate scenarios I recommend it, but not for very large scenarios. Licenses can be renewed and are priced very well compared to competitors.

This system is being used in my company to have a firewall that helps me to prevent intruders from entering my network and doing damage to the servers. This application also helps to administer my network by prohibiting users from using unwanted pages, to prevent users from downloading files that contain malware and may be harmful to the company's network.
  • easy to manage by its web platform that allows quick access to system functions
  • allows the administration of the company's network by creating IP navigation permissions to prevent access to unprotected pages
  • this system can be installed on computers with very few resources and even with old equipment just by adapting an additional network card. This is helpful for companies that are starting and do not have much capital to invest but need to protect their systems
  • The way to be installed is still a bit difficult and should be more graphic as you are doing all the distributions of linux to make it easier to understand new users
This system is very useful for companies of few resources and for novice users with small and domestic networks. On the other hand, for a large company where you have a lot of network equipment connected, it's possible that the equipment collapses and does not work well with this service.
  • this system has had a positive impact on my company, saving resources, good functioning of the system, a stable application that allows me to control what users see so that they can perform more in the work and prevent them from entering pages that are undeveloped and that will take time away from their job

Smoothwall is a system that is cheaper than just a free license due to being a Linux distribution. Simplewall is a bit more for robust equipment or large networks.
