Overall Satisfaction with pfSense
We use pfSense to protect and route network traffic for ourselves as well as our business clients. It provides a highly reliable network solution with a huge range of enterprise grade features. It has complex firewall rules to allow us to complete PCIDSS compliance for card payment terminals. It also allows for seamless failover of multiple WAN internet connections to ensure that our staff and customers are never without internet access.
- Firewall rules
- Multiple WAN failover & balancing
- Statistics and reporting of internet connection use
- Automated configuration backup
- More support for PPOE connection drops/errors
- Central management console for multiple devices
- Low cost to implement with higher performance than expensive enterprise solutions.
- Very customizable - have not found anything it can't do for our small business clients.
pfSense offers more options and scales very easily.
