We just have the yearly support subscription.

The solution software does not require a license, it is free. The support contract is about $600 dollars. 

I use the free version.

The price point is highly competitive. The cost varies depending on the license type, such as licenses for eight to five support or twenty-four seven support. Opting for twenty-four-seven support significantly increases the price, reaching around ten thousand to thirteen hundred dollars. I would rate it four out of ten.

My original setup cost was US$40 for a used x86 Pentium 2 machine, purchased through Boeing Surplus, and additional US$20 ($10 x 2) for two additional NICs to run LAN and OPT1 networks. So, $60 total for self-installation of pfSense v1.1.

The product is free of cost.

Netgate pfSense is a cost-effective option. If you're not using a VPN, you can acquire a decent embedded PC for around a hundred dollars and install pfSense on it, effectively creating a robust firewall solution. With this setup, you can achieve a throughput of two hundred to three hundred megabits per second without any issues, provided you're handling relatively simple rules. The level of performance depends on the specific requirements and tasks.

PfSense is an open-source product, but you need to buy a license to get some features. 

This is a good option. If a vendor is trying to sell Fortinet and Sangfor, but the customer's requirements are basic, they'll have a hard time convincing someone who believes in free, open-source software that pfSense is not suitable for them. The only cost is the hardware. But pfSense doesn't have after-sales support or some of the other features you might find in a commercial solution. 

We use the open-source version, which is free to use. 

I say we've always used the community edition as I've never felt a need for support or anything like that and our clients have never insisted on it. I know where to go to look for answers if we run into problems, so paying for that extra support isn't something we need to worry about. 

I prefer appliance licensing with pfSense (Community Edition). 

1. It's free. 
2. It's very stable. 
3. It's only on the hardware, it can be very fast.

Choose the appliances because it is nice to have the hardware cut out for it, i.e. the right hardware for the right software. 

It is free. It is open source.

It is an open-source solution.

It is very suitable in terms of the price. If a client cannot acquire a Netgate appliance, I provide a custom-made appliance, and I install the Community edition of pfSense. It is a very good and affordable solution for enterprises. Some of the clients pay monthly but usually, it is annually.

The maintenance cost varies depending on the kind of solution we have implemented. It could be €100 per month or around €800 per year.

The product is cheap.

I am using the community version of the solution and it is priced well. There is a cost of learning how to use the solution, if it was free it would be better.

We are using the free version of the solution. We are not paying anything for it at this time. 

Its price is pretty fair.

We are using its Community Edition, which is free. My company is a government school, and we don't have much budget.

The solution is an open-source product. It's free to use. It's extremely affordable.

It is about €1,000. It is a one-time payment. I do not have a monthly or yearly subscription. I don't subscribe to any subscription because I hate cloud services.

There are no additional costs.

It is open source.

We've found the pricing to be very fair. It's actually pretty low. The licensing is very inexpensive.

Open Source - just download! If you need support, it's available.

I spent a couple of $1,000 on hardware, and the OS was free. A comparable firewall would cost me probably 20 grand. It saved a lot of money.

There aren't monthly or yearly licensing costs.

For the cost and what's included, you can't beat it, no way no how. If you're worried about enterprise solutions, the only thing you need to do then is to purchase a support contract, and you have an enterprise solution. You can even purchase hardware from the vendor if you choose.

Spend at least $300 or more on a good pfSense box. Use a hard drive, and not a USB flash drive for pfSense storage.

When compared to other solutions like SonicWall, SonicWall has a built-in administrative burden where you have to go back and make sure your client understands they're going to get hit with another annual fee to keep that device up to date. pfSense is not like that. pfSense is not like that in the sense that if you go out and get the latest update of firmware or software, you're going to get the latest and greatest. You don't have to remember to go to the client and remind them they're going to be charged another fee next year to keep their license current. I hope they keep that model.

It's between US$50 to US$1500 depending on the hardware that is used.

The solution is free to use. There are (currently) no licensing costs.

We are using the open-source version, not the commercial one. 

It's very affordable.

I am using the free version of pfSense.

Well, its opensource... So for the tech-minded, its not so difficult but yes, the configuration is understandable for those with good prior firewall knowledge... 

If you can get it working, its great... But yes, thats the first part... Get it working... 

Oncw working, all licenses etc are not a problem as it is opensource... So no restrictions there... so far...

The pricing of the solution is fair. I've also paid for a license that includes Entreprise support. Our license lasts for two years.

It was straightforward to buy from pfSense.

It's hard to say. The setup goes pretty fast and, once you know the hardware to be used, it will work, so there was no significant amount of time there. The laptops used in this project were already recycled and had enough power for us to make a cluster and be happy with them, so it pretty much only cost us the price of some 3G modems and some USB network interfaces. Maybe not more than 200 Euros per machine.

The price of the licensing depends on the size of the deployment. pfSense is open-source, but the support is something that the customer pays for. We charge them for the first line of support and if they want, they can purchase the second line of support. Typically, they take the first-line option.

The term of licensing also depends on the contract. The firewall doesn't always have a contract but rather, there is a contract in place for the network, which includes UTM.

In addition to the licensing fees, there are costs for hardware, installation, and maintenance. We use HPE servers, and the cost depends on how large the installation is. The price of setup is approximately €500 to €800, which also includes the initial monitoring.

The maintenance cost isn't really included in the network fees.

For smaller companies, we charge them a few hours a month for monitoring. It takes longer if the client is bigger.

I am using the community version of the solution which is free.

The paid version is priced reasonably.

The solution doesn't come at a high cost. That makes it a very attractive option.

The pfSense software is open source, so you only have to pay $90 a year for support. Of course, I could be wrong on that. It was that much when I looked into it a year ago. It might've gone up or down since then. You can buy the minimum appliance for under $300. It has two ethernet ports, one for your WAN and one for your LAN. 

The solution is free. However, you need to pay for support.

That is another fun part of this solution. There is no license. You don't have to pay anything. It's completely free. The one thing that you can buy is a security feed like an IP feed or a DNS feed. This kind of thing can be easily bought, but if you have the passion and expertise, you can arrange all of these types of feeds for free. It may be slightly different between how frequently those feeds are updated compared to the paid version. Sometimes, it lags behind for 24 hours or 12 hours, but it works.

We are using the open-source version which is free. We are testing the solution to see if we are going to go to the enterprise version which requires a license and is not free.

Licensing costs depend on company size. pfSense is an open source solution, so there's a charge for support. We offer a first line of support and a second line if required. Payment depends on the contract, because usually it's only covers the firewall. We offer a contract for the network which includes UTM. There's a hardware cost for HP servers and, again, depending on the size of the company, installation cost is about 500-800 Euro. There's an annual maintenance fee included in the networking agreement. 

It is completely free.

I use the product's free version. 

It is a free solution.

All costs are low compared to other solutions. The hardware is stable and cheap.

There is no licensing fee except for the enterprise support, if you want it.

It has almost zero cost, and it is open to us. It runs on a small appliance just for a couple of 100 bucks, and I've never had an appliance burn out on me yet. 

It's a software solution, and also open source, so it's cost is zero!

It's open source so it's free. We did not buy their hardware.

Unless they have specific requirements that demand a particular device, I always suggest pfSense specifically because of the absence of pricing and licensing.

You pay only the support and the price depends on the hardware not the functionalities.

This is a no-cost solution.

pfSense is a free solution.

As an open-source solution, it is free to use as you see fit.

pfSense is free and open source software. Modification is easy and you can adapt it to your company's requirements.

Our customers must pay for an annual license. 

When compared with other firewalls, the price is reasonable.

There is an open-source community version that is available.

It's open-source. You can pay for support if you need. 

If you need to buy hardware onto which to install PfSense, go with their boxes on their website, they are great. If you already have the hardware, just download and install, it works great either way.

Pricing is fantastic, we have gold subscription which covers on-line backup of device configurations, premium support, webinars and lots more.

It's absolutly free, no pricing and no licensing.

The only cost to set up is the hardware for a standard PC and any ethernet card extensions.

I am not aware of the licensing costs.

pfSense is open-source.

We are currently using the open source solution so it's free. 

There was no cost.

Currently, we don't pay for a license.

Looking at what it does, I think that it is fairly priced.

We are using a free version of the solution. We don't need to pay any licensing fees.

The solution is open-source and therefore the solution is very cost-effective.

The setup cost was practically zero because we had servers in stock. Also, there is no real day-to-day cost attached with it either.

The pricing is lower than some of its competitors. However, If you do not have a strong technical team and are trying to get pfSense to do some of the same functions as some of the competitors such as Fortinet or Palo Alto, It will cost you a lot in professional services to do it. You then lose the low cost-benefit of this solution.

It is an open source firewall.

It is free.

It's free.

It was free.

I just downloaded the program from the website free of chard. The best thing is, this product can be installed on any machine.

pfSense software has the flexibility to integrate into wide area on a worldwide range of hardware. Among all monitoring and firewalls application. I haven't see powerful tools like PfSense.

I don't know the setup costs but the day-to-day maintenance is done by myself, and I occasionally need to engage the vendor for technical issues.

My opinion about pfSense's pricing is good. They are open source. 

Close to zero, because we've used an internal server for it.

The price of pfSense is reasonable. However, there is a free version available.

This solution provides enterprise-level features at a fraction of the cost of an enterprise firewall.
