Overall Satisfaction with Smoothwall UTM

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.

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.
