Agnitum Review

Outpost Firewall is a product of Agnitum. It was developed utilizing the award-winning technology previously developed by the company, ensuring that users receive a top-notch experience at a reasonable price.

Features

Of course the firewall. This is arguably one of, if not the best firewall software to date. The internet software produced by Agnum has long received a high rating from both users and critics alike. In fact, the technology behind the Agnitum firewall is actually being utilized by other well-known brands, including AVG Technologies, Sophos, and Lavasoft.

Oh yeah, the firewall is that great. Agnitum Firewall has a two-way firewall that ensures that your computer is protected from inbound and outbound threats to your system. It also keeps a list of the IP addresses and websites that it blocked. Agnitum also has a cloud-based system wherein the information on other computers are used to expand the threat database of the firewall. It also has a feature to prevent keyloggers and packet sniffers from getting sensitive information for your computer. The software even has a self-protecting feature that ensures that it won’t be disabled by attacks specifically directed to the Outwall firewall. All of these features make this program one of the serious contenders as one of the top firewall software.

Can’t forget the antispyware. Another reason why they made it on to this top 10 list is because much more than just  firewall is offered. It also has an anti-spyware module, thus adding another level of protection to your computer.

Entertainment mode. The software has an Entertainment mode that allows you to watch videos or play games without interruption.

Intuitive interface. The firewall has settings for basic and advanced users so that you can choose the type of protection that your computer needs. The software itself is quite easy to use.

Other perks. Other features of the Agnitum Firewall include a Proactive Protection module which blocks unknown threats, SmartDecision technology (enabling your firewall to make quick decisions regarding security issues on your system), and a System and Application Guard.

Customer support. Agnitum offers customer support via email, chat, and user forums. Their website also contains a knowledge base (in English, German, French, Russian, Polish, and Hungarian) for more information about the product.

Pricing

You can buy the software (either for 1 PC or for 3 PCs) for a 1-year coverage at $39.95 or a lifetime license at $59.95. You can buy a family license (5 PCs) for $64.95 for a year’s coverage or $89.95 for two years worth of coverage. There are separate rates for business and educational licenses. The company sometimes holds promos, so keep an eye out for these deals.

Agnitum Firewall also offers a free 30-day trial period so you can get an idea about the performance of the system.

Conclusion

Agnitum Firewall is a good contender for being one of the best alternatives today, as the product ensures that your computer is protected at all times. While it’s not a full Internet security suite by any means, it is able to give a degree of protection that is absent in other firewall software.
