Directeur Commercial & Marketing Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 5/11/2019 "GlassWire Firewall - My opinion" 4.5/5 What do you like best about GlassWire Firewall? GlassWire is an advanced tool that allows the user to filter network traffic. The main advantage of GlassWire is a very aesthetic interface, which attracts the eye and is very clear so that we can easily find the search for features. GlassWire allows us to check which hosts our computer is currently using to make inquiries so that we can protect ourselves against threats. Another advantage of GlassWire is the fact that this solution warns us of unusual movement and unusual changes in applications. GlassWire also allows us to monitor our Wifi network, so we can also protect devices operating in our local network. Another feature I liked very much was the ability to configure custom firewall profiles for different scenarios. It's worth mentioning that GlassWire is available free of charge in the Basic package and allows us to provide additional protection for our mobile devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
