      Hi!

      I've been running a network spread over 3 locations connected by Cisco ASA devices for over a year and I simply got tired of their bad support for which I pay a lot of money. The latest issue was a failover cluster that crashed when I made the active firewall become stand by.

      After the switch to pfSense, everything is running smoothly since the beginning of February.

      One of the things I really like is the AutoConfigBackup. I have it enabled on my 5 firewalls (the 3 above plus my home firewall and another for an OOB network) it simply works.

      The other thing I like is the access to firewall services can be firewalled using FQDNs something ASA devices can't do.

      Thank you pfSense team!!!

        Right there with you!  I'm so sick of Cisco, their insane pricing and horrible support….Done with them and now 100% pfSense.  ;D

          Indeed! Been there with a big fat expensive ASA, highly annoying.

          Cheers,
