I researched OPNSense vs pfSense a year or so ago when I was making a choice migrating from my Linux-based firewall. I ended up chosing pfSense, because I thought it offered a better support. I regret now, especially that I only recently learned that OPNsense offers a free ET Pro (Telemetry)[1] subscription for Suricata, which is otherwise available to pfSense on a paid basis only.
Now I am looking to migrate to OPNSense, but unfortunately their backup files are not compatible and OPNSense does not make any effort to facilitate the migration ([2]), which, especially in light of recent pfSense controversies, is IMHO a serous omission . Not that I am saying they should provide a "one click wizard" solution, but at least having a way to tell which of the pfSense backup sections are incompatible with OPNsense and need to be otherwise set up manually would be great.
