OPNsense Pros and Cons

The feature I find most valuable, is that the program helped me to realize all the requested functionality that was needed.

The most valuable features in OPNsense are reporting and visibility.

The most valuable features are reporting, the Sensei plugin, and firewall capabilities.

We can open a new VPN connection easily. It's much easier than with Fortinet in our experience.

The VPN server feature is the most valuable. It is integrated with Radius and AAA for doing accounting and authentication. Insight view is also an important feature for me at this time. It allows me to assess our network traffic. I also like the firewall feature. The BSD kernel has a packet filter. It is one of the most solid frameworks for firewalls. Its user interface is one of the best interfaces I have used.

The solution is good for a basic firewall for a small business or for home use.

The graphic user interface is very good and it is user-friendly which makes the product easy-to-use.

I find the solution to be user-friendly. It has a lot of reports and easy settings.

The initial setup is easy. It only takes 15-30 minutes to deploy.

The interface and the dashboard are the most valuable features of this solution.

There are issues with stability and reliability.

I would like to see better SD-WAN performance.

OPNsense showed me some problems when using it in different environments. The problem is integration with a virtual server.

The only thing that I would like to see improved is the Insight or the NetFlow analysis part. It would be good to have the possibility to dig down on the Insight platform. Right now, we can easily do only a few analyses. If this page becomes more powerful, it surely will be a well-adopted platform.

The solution would not be suitable for anything large-scale.

The ability to set the VPN IP address would be a welcome addition.

On the customer-side, because I'm a small business, I need a cheaper or free solution option.

There should be more technical documentation.
