We performed a comparison between Juniper vSRX and Untangle NG Firewall based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Firewalls solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The email protection and VPN features are the most valuable."
"Fortinet offers the latest versions to cater to the needs of enterprises."
"I like Fortinet's cloud management. It allows me to manage all my devices in different branches for three cloud accounts. Even though I use on-prem devices, I can manage everything on the cloud."
"Reliability is the best feature. We faced some issues when we were setting it up, but the service, portal, and administration are good."
"I'm pretty happy with its reliability. It is also very scalable."
"I like how we can achieve total integration."
"Its stability is the most valuable."
"The signature database and zero-day detection are Fortinet FortiGate's most valuable features."
"The initial setup was very straightforward. There was no problem. The initial deployment took about one hour."
"It's basic functionality is probably the most valuable feature."
"The technical support has been good."
"This solution works well. Their switches and firewall are good."
"The dashboard, customization, API, and pricing are good."
"The features we found most valuable are using the IDS and IPS during protection. The application filtering feature is great."
"It is easy for me to go in and update settings, make changes, or add/remove rules or security."
"The solution has good features."
"The majority of our clients are very small businesses, and Untangle devices have been fantastic for these small clients. We've basically standardized our stack to just simply use Untangle. We include the hardware and the service option, which makes it very easy and affordable for us to just simply push that into the monthly per-user costing that we provide as a managed services provider. It's really a no-brainer. They're easy to use, and they're easy to set up and configure. Support is generally good about resolving any issues that we have. We haven't had any real complaints."
"All features are useful. We are using premium features such as bandwidth sharing, failover, web filters, SSL controls, antivirus, and VPN. We use these features to the fullest. These features are available in the paid firewall license, not the free one."
"Web filtering is very reliable."
"Its detection, antivirus, and filtering features are the most valuable. The facility to connect by using the VPN connection is also a very valuable feature. It is very strong, secure, and reliable. We have implemented the Untangle solution in all hardware. It is also a user-friendly solution. It is easy to learn and easy to configure."
"The product is easy to implement."
"NG Firewalls allow us to permit or deny applications we don't want to run. We also use content filtering, SSL inspection, and all the other things we run on the firewall to keep our clients protected and ensure they're not going where they shouldn't. It's a great firewall that works as intended."
"It is very easy to deploy and monitor. "
"The product’s most valuable features are endpoint protection management, load balancing, and connectivity with Active Directory."
"Fortinet could improve the windows opener or the virtual IP solutions for opening windows. The virtual IP settings need improvement as firewalls are trending in new development directions."
"The support system could be improved."
"Currently, without the additional reporting module, we only have access to basic reporting."
"I don't like that anything more than very basic reporting is not included."
"With FortiGate, the main complaint that I have heard is about the technical support."
"To some degree, it's almost a question as to why some of this stuff isn't simpler. For example, for an AP deployment, while it's integrated, the number of steps that you have to go through in order to get the AP up, seems like a lot."
"Cisco Meraki products are rising very quickly in the cloud and the connected era. Meraki products offer much better ROI, upgradability, and manageability."
"One area for improvement is the performance on the bandwidth demands for smaller devices, as well as better web filtering."
"Some people complain that the solution tends to have a steep learning curve. It could be because most people have basic familiarity with Cisco or other similar products and maybe have never worked closely with Juniper products."
"Right now, we are going through issues and problems where the product gets dropped with the connection or during the authentication initial phase. While it could be our problem, we would like to see more stability in this area."
"The solution could improve its technical support."
"We worked with Cisco's support and Juniper's support and there are some differences, to be honest, Cisco is more available and is more competent at addressing our cases."
"The pricing still needs some improvement."
"Juniper vSRX is expensive."
"Fortinet is more user friendly than Juniper. In terms of remote access, I actually prefer using Fortinet. It's much easier to configure."
"he stability could be improved."
"The management console for partners is a bit tricky (buggy)."
"It would be much easier if there was a mobile app."
"The product should improve reporting."
"The biggest challenge that we have with this solution is local support. The local support is a problem in our area."
"Web-filtering policies could be improved."
"It does have multi-factor authentication in some areas, but I would love to see a more widely implemented version of that on the devices themselves."
"We have a minor issue when assigning IP addresses in the ARP tables. You should be able to go into the ARP tables, look at the IP address and say, "Nope, they need to be on this side on this IP address." The ability to set a DHP reservation from the ARP tables would be great. It's no big deal, but it would be nice to have."
"The product must improve its reporting features."
