### Pros

"We can tailor it to fit our business, which does a lot of governmental logins and emails, and we were able to make all the adjustments needed for a seamless experience"

"It has an extremely user-friendly web-based interface, and has plenty of optional "addons" that can be purchased to give you as much or as little control and safety over your network and internet usage as you need."

"Their config file based admin is also great it allows you to move from one model to another with ease by just remapping ports."

### Cons

"Has not innovated much in that past 5 years, could have better management features, there is cloud portal but not as good as the local policy management."

"The Firebox is a little expensive for home users. While they work right out of the box, advanced configurations can be a little daunting for those with minimal network skills."

"The only con I have ran into is the user VPN setup. If I wanted to change a user's password, I would need to change it via the App Manager. "
