So far we didn't experience and difficulties on using it and our IT are at peace because of not only easy to use and manage, we are highly secured both inbound and outbound activities.

One of the best firewalls I've ever used, It provides a very simple, easy-to-use user interface. A wealth of security and encryption features, and support routing as well.

Cons
In case of lack of configuration or making mistakes in the application, you will definitely experience problems.
TA

Turan A.

IT Admin

Some models that are not EOL are not getting OS updates with no explanation. If the product is not EOL it should get updates no excuses.
TM

Tony M.

VP IT

What I found annoying is that some features require a separate license. While these features in competitor companies are among the basic license.
