That was my testimonial that I posted (before becoming a moderator) back in July of this year. It is every bit as true today as it was then.
So do I have any new insight today?
Other than being a fully function fee firewall with more advanced features than most firewalls I have ever used; the most appealing thing to me is the community and responsiveness that can be found at Comodo; it really is community feedback built software.
But if you need a list of the features I love:
Excellent security functionality at default settings.
A complex/comprehensive firewall firewall presented in an easy to navigate GUI complete with wizards.
2 levels of definition… Network shaping through the network rules, and Application access rules.
Applications can have multiple rules defined, which allows for some pretty powerful/advanced application control.
It is not bloat-ware. Things that aren’t firewall related get their own applications. Helps keep the system responsive and “uncrippled”.
And a list of things I’d like changed/fixed:
“OLE Issue”; although I can eyeball the popup knowing what it is and navigate around it safely. I’ve also heard CPF 3.X will introduce “new application rules interface/logic”, so I’d like to think that might address this issue as well.
easier way to save/extract and import the CPF configuration (only because I am lazy and want to propagate my rules to the other 3 PC’s in my house)
A way to define rules to a “group”, then add applications to that “group”. This would help reduce the amount of repetitive manual rules I make on occasion.
Comodo is a top-notch company building top-shelf products. And you can quote me on that.
