"Excellent Tool"
What do you like best about GlassWire Firewall?

Glasswire gives me real-time information about everything that is going on with my computer. The firewall function is extremely useful and allows greater control over access to my system. Creating the ability to monitor usage graphically allows users the flexibility to discontinue programs that are non-essential. Real-time alerts let me know if I need to take action regarding a connection that might be harmful. All in all Glasswire is an essential part of my ongoing systems usage.

What do you dislike about GlassWire Firewall?

So far I haven't found anything that I dislike about Glasswire It doesn't take up much room on my system and operates smoothly in the background until needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easiest firewall app I have seen"
What do you like best about GlassWire Firewall?

It sounds shallow, but I actually like their UI over the features. I am one of those users who prefer something good to look at. Since my network connection is sketchy and rather slow, I have to check my net speed regularly. Glasswire has a very cute little network speed monitor that has become a part of my desktop for the last few years.

As for their firewall ability, I can not count the many instances they caught a rough app that wanted network access. I know we can do this using the windows settings. But I really like the dashboard Glasswire provides to monitor and control network access. Anyone who wants an easy UI/UX should go with Glasswire over the default app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GlassWire Firewall?

I don't think there is anything that I don't like. Afterall it does what it was supposed to do and do it nicely. One thing I would say they could work on though. The company tend to send a lot of promotional emails. since I am already a paid premium customer, I think they don't have to promote to me :) But it is easy to solve by changing the email preference.

"A Firewall for the Experienced and Novice User"
What do you like best about GlassWire Firewall?

I like the customizations that can be implemented on inbound and outgoing data. The ability to be informed about an incoming data connection and choose or deny the connection with a beautiful GUI is excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GlassWire Firewall?

Not much. Not as complicated as little snitch on Mac. I would probably add more customizations to the Themese for color choices and show inbound outbound on a geomap. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Amazing Firewall Product"
What do you like best about GlassWire Firewall?

Glasswire allows me to see exactly what is accessing the web from my computer. I can even set Glasswire to block a connection if I think it has malicious intent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GlassWire Firewall?

Not really anything. It does everything it advertises it does. It does not fulfill the need of an antivirus though, but that is not a huge issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
