Overall Satisfaction with Smoothwall UTM
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 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.
