    "New IPFire user"

    Posted 2024-10-11

    Pros: It's simple, fast and rock solid. I'm old school admin so I like that green-blue-orange-red ideology. Of course price/quality ratio is superior :)

    Cons: Its one of a kind so there is a learning curve that you must walk trough before you can really use it.
    WebUI isn't always so practical and sometimes menu stops responding to mouse but that can be passed simply reloading the page.

    Overall: The feel is professional, performance is great and it has quite a lot of features. From the community forums and wiki docs you can find answers and examples to all common questions.

    "Reliable and easy to install"

    Posted 2023-06-13

    Pros: Can't get any simpler than that.
    The entire platform designed for safety.
    And if a particular feature is not present, just look for it among the available addons.

    Cons: Nothing negative, everything perfect from the assistance system provided by the very present and active community.

    Overall: In a simple system capable of covering both home installations up to complex installations of large companies and with many clients.
