The features I've found most valuable are--
It's provided us with a fair internet speed for all users. We're also able to control web contents of our users.
The firewall feature could be improved.
We had no issues with deployment.
We had no issues with instability.
We were able to scale just fine.
More pfSense reviews from users
We generally use it because it's cheap. When we need something more robust we use Barracuda and Sony Wireless Routers. For certain clients, we use pfSense because it's compatible with the VoIP platform.
My company mainly works in the health and educational domain, schools and universities. I prevent the improper use of content from schools and universities. I defend the medical records for the patients in our hospitals. That is the main use case for me for the firewall.
I had some outages in the network and we provide services for our company. We sell mobile credits. The terminal gets access to our own server inside the network and if one internet fails, then the other one is still up and we have a back-up link on the devices.
This solution has helped our organization by protecting our network from attacks.
This solution has increased the level of security, given us more control, provided a deep insight into network traffic, and is a great VPN solution.
The initial setup was simple and fast.
The scalability is very good, where you can do an HA configuration and then bring in another box, if necessary.
