Bit off topic.
But I wish Ubiquiti would make non POE managed switches
LOL, again but... they do. And we use them.
....Where? I spent a good 30 minutes on their site trying to find them.
It's called "Lite" with the PoE isn't there.

Company, at end, let me buy the Pfsense.
I'm thinking in this model.

If you have the budget, I'd spring for the $2k HA setup. The more features you enable, the slower the firewall can perform, depending on how much traffic you have.

Answer is going to keep being the same, Ubiquiti is better than pfSense.

Why spend $1600 with pfSense to get less than you would get with $190 with Ubiquiti? Why is pfSense even a consideration? What goal is making you look at them?

Can the Ubiquiti handle failover from one to another?
@iroal If the Ubiquiti has all the features you need, then the price will be significantly cheaper than the pfSense setup.

It looks like the Ubiquiti's use VRRP - https://help.ubnt.com/hc/en-us/articles/204962174-EdgeMAX-Virtual-Router-Redundancy-Protocol-VRRP-

And higher quality. pfSense is just FreeBSD with a web interface. Ubiquiti uses VyOS, an actual router OS. Completely different categories of equipment here. pfSense falls below the home line, it's a hobby system. Ubiquiti is enterprise gear.

Hi.
Again this year I'm going to try replace our SonicWall NSA 2400, 6-7 years old.
After look many options I'd like Pfsense but i'm not sure if it's the best option.
Now we use Sonicwall for Vpn (10 people), Firewall and Content Filter for about 50 people and 5 networks connections.
I don't think I have a big budget if they approve buy a new one Firewall.
What are best options instead SonicWall ?
Thanks.
Pfsense is good but as SAM has pointed out there is currently no reason to use it as Ubiquiti makes a better product for less. Try not to get hung up on any particular brand or model. There are only instances of best solutions--meaning they change constantly. After a few months you would have to research it again because the pricing and products will change.

Watch the video, skip ahead to 30 seconds in to watch "Cysco" sales reps being beat up...
That was the best commercial I've seen in a long time.

I need at less 5 lans in the firewall to manage differents networks. Ubitiqui dont have it.

I'm not sure that I understand what you mean. Less five LANs?

I think he means "at least"

If you need more then 5 ports then check out the EdgeRouter or the EdgeRouter Pro.

But Ubiquiti will do that no problem.

If he means subnets then we would be able to do that with any EdgeRouter and VLANs. Actually you may not even need to do VLANs as this is just routing.
