Free to use, easy to manage, and offers good security options
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
This is a free and secure solution that is easy to use.
What is most valuable?
The normal security options are great.
It's light and easy to manage.
The solution is very stable.
The initial implementation process is simple.
The solution offers a free version.
What needs improvement?
While they do have paid options that actually give better features, for most of the clients, if they tend to take a paid option will instead opt for Fortinet.
They should make it so that it's easier to reverse proxy integration.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using this solution for two years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The product is quite stable and the performance is good. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
We can easily scale the solution if we need to. It's not difficult.
How are customer service and support?
I've only used the free version of the solution. I just have to dig into the forums to find everything I need. There isn't a central place you can reach out to. I've found all the answers I've needed so far via the forums. There's a lot of information there.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is straightforward. It's not overly complex or difficult.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
We're a customer and an end-user.
We are using the telemetry-free version of the solution.
Overall, the solution is quite affordable.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I'm aware of Fortinet as well.
It depends on price versus performance. If you're willing to pay, Fortinet's great. If you don't have the budget, OPNsense is more affordable.
What other advice do I have?
We do supply the solution and we do use it for ourselves.
I'd advise users to get the Geo functionality. It's a nice add-on, which we make use of a lot. It allows which countries are allowed to access your instances, which is very helpful.
I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
