OPNsense Reviews

I am using OPNsense as a security platform at work but am currently working from home and using it for network access.

I have found the solution has some great features overall, such as guest access capabilities, dashboards, and ease of use. There is plenty of documentation and support and it has the plugins that I needed.

The logging could improve in OPNsense.

I have been using OPNsense for approximately one year.

The solution is stable.

OPNsense is scalable.

I have contacted the support for the Open Source plugin and the company has been really supportive. Within approximately an hour or two I was receiving a response, I was really impressed with the support.

There is fantastic community support available online.

The installation was straightforward.

I have been very happy with the solution.

I rate OPNsense an eight out of ten.

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

There should be more technical documentation. 

I have been using it for the last year and a half. 

It is stable. 

We have two customers who use this solution and ten people on my team. My clients are enterprise-size. 

I am satisfied with the technical support. 

The initial setup is very easy. It took around one hour. It's only getting the licensing and getting started. 

It doesn't need a POC, doing a demo is enough. 

I would rate it a nine out of ten. The documentation about the malware and APT needs improvement to know more about the vulnerabilities. The product information is fine. 

The most valuable feature of OPNsense is compatibility.

OPNsense could improve by making the configuration more web-based rather than shell or command-line-based.

The timeline for new features could be better. They could be faster at updating features.

I have been using OPNsense for approximately 10 months.

OPNsense is stable.

We have a maximum of approximately 80 users using this solution on a daily basis.

I have not used the support from OPNsense.

I was previously using pfSense but I switched to OPNsense because it was a newer kernel, which would have worked better with our upgraded hardware.

I have used ClearOS for a long time prior to pfSense.

The initial setup of OPNsense is very easy.

I rate the initial setup of OPNsense a four out of five.

The price of OPNsense is good.

I rate the price of OPNsense a five out of five.

I advise others before they start to see the documentation of the solution first. The documentation was very useful.

I rate OPNsense an eight out of ten.

I rated the solution an eight because there's always room for improvement. It's not a perfect solution.

We have primarily been using it for testing at our company, but the normal primary use for the product is as a firewall.  

The most valuable thing about this product is that it is very easy to use. The graphic user interface is very good and it is user-friendly.  

The feature that I would like to see in the next release, I think, would be to improve the VPN (Virtual Private Network) selection. Specifically, I would like to improve the section where you can set the VPN IP address to high availability.  

We have been using OPNsense [Stands for: "Open (source) makes sense."] for about one year.  

The stability of OPNsense is actually very good.  

The scalability of OPNsense is also very good.  

Our experience with technical support has been good. We have a few issues, and if we do we have been satisfied with the support.  

The initial set up was pretty easy. The total time for deployment took just one or two days.  

OPNsense is open source software so at this time it is free for us to use.  

On a scale from one to ten where one is the worst and ten is the best, I would rate OPNsense between and eight or nine-out-of-ten. If I have to choose I would pick nine because it is practically a perfect solution for us.  

I definitely recommend the product to other people who are considering using this as a solution to use it because it is a good solution.
