如何选择防火墙与网络安全工具
The three tools listed here differ most on who they're built for, how you pay and where they run.
Pricing model. Netgate pfSense is the only one with a published price. It offers a free trial, and paid plans start at $10.75/mo. Palo Alto Networks and Fortinet (FortiGate) are both contact-for-pricing, which usually means you'll get a custom quote after talking to sales.
Deployment. pfSense can be self-hosted as software or bought as an appliance, so you can run it on your own hardware. Palo Alto Networks and Fortinet are listed as web platforms.
Scope. pfSense covers firewall, routing and VPN for homes and businesses. Palo Alto Networks reaches further, into cloud, identity and SOC security with AI features. Fortinet pairs next-generation firewalls with SASE and security operations for enterprises.
Automation. pfSense is the only one here listed with an API. If you want to script or integrate your firewall setup, check this first. We haven't tested these tools, so confirm the details with each vendor.
