What OS are the laptops? Windows Firewall is free and can be managed and administrated centrally via Group Policy...not going to help if you're laptops are Linux or Macs though.

Any recommendation for a cost effective Host-Base Firewall to be installed
on my remote users' Laptops - and to be managed and be administrated
centralized by my security team ?

Thanks ,,,
