OPNsense Scalability

I don't need scalability. It is a small company. It is a small network. I just need a small firewall at the entrance of the network. I don't need to expand it.
In terms of its users, it is the firewall to protect the company, and I am the only one to touch this product.
I rate the solution’s scalability a nine out of ten.

In terms of scalability, I rate it around eight out of ten because it excels in handling various tasks. Beyond security features, it supports routing, VPN setups, and traffic monitoring with additional packages like Snort and Suricata. This flexibility allows for a wide range of functionalities. I have 200 users for the solution.

I would rate the scalability a nine out of ten. There is room for improvement.
In my organization, there are 400 users, and OPNsense serves as our gateway and proxy for all of them. Therefore, all the users go through the gateway.

Most of the BSD/FreeBAS or Linux-based software-defined firewalls support vertical and horizontal scaling 'scaling out and scaling up'(this all depends on how it has been architecture) based on the requirements.
Keeping Technology and Architecture governance with the leading practice of security, availability, and scalability as critical elements in mind. Few stated features make these products scalable and highly available, though, based on load and constant monitoring would require tuning from time to time.
View full review »We run it as an NVA cluster with Azure, and it has good scalability, but when we have bigger deployments, we would use another firewall. I'm not sure if it makes sense to scale up. OPNsense has a very good niche market in comparison to FortiGate, Azure Firewall, or other firewalls. If a customer is starting in the cloud and has 100 or 200 users, I would always recommend OPNsense, but if you have a big installation, and you have a good DevOps team that deploys via source code and things like this, then I would not recommend it. So, the software itself may be scalable, but I wouldn't call it an enterprise-scale firewall.
In terms of people working with this solution, I'm an architect, and we've got two people for monitoring and setup. Its usage is increasing. It has not been that long since we started using OPNsense, and it fills a gap. Not everybody needs a full-scaled enterprise firewall. So, it will be a part of our business. We've found a niche there.

It's very flexible and scalable, and I would rate the scalability an eight out of ten. It can adapt to changing needs easily. Around twenty customers are currently using OPNsense.
View full review »We have not explored the scalability. We are only a small lab with two to three workstations.
I have a colleague working with me, together. We meet weekly to share the progress we have.
I use the enterprise version daily. It's scalable, stable, they have proper documentation and support. We get daily updates from the vendor.
OPNsense is a great tool but it lacks information that you need before deploying it.

OPNsense is a scalable solution, and I find it very good, but it still depends on your requirement and what you want to achieve from OPNsense.

The solution is scalable.
As we have in excess of 2,000 solutions deployed in the field, there is no need for us to increase its usage. It is already sufficiently increased.

This product is very scalable. I always buy hardware that can handle a lot of connections and a lot of users. So, in terms of scalability, all you have to do is upgrade your hardware. Or, it is especially scalable if you use the VM version because you only have to provision more resources.
We regularly have between 20 and 50 users, although sometimes it is as little as 5 or 10.

We don't have too much traffic. With our traffic, it's working great. We don't expect to have a very big traffic load. Directly within our offices, maybe 20 or 30 people.
For the internet server, they are using our service. We have people on 100 home VPN connections. The final users are in the thousands. We are using it in all our offices.
We only use OPNsense now. We migrated from FortiGate. We removed all FortiGate software. That is the only problem we had using the tool.
