We performed a comparison between Azure Firewall 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 security fabric is excellent."
"The pricing is excellent. It's much less expensive than Cisco."
"A strong point of FortiGate is that the graphical interface is complete and easy to use, especially if we think there is a list of operations that we are able to perform inside."
"The reporting and monitoring are very good."
"This version is stable. I don't have any issues with this solution, in our environment, it works well."
"The SD-WAN feature is the most valuable. This feature evolved from link load balancing. It has helped us in terms of our uptime and privatizing applications whenever we experience an outage. The SD-WAN feature has been a plus for us. Two-factor authentication has allowed us to add more users in terms of remote working. We have two-factor authentication for remote workers to authenticate them before they get on the network."
"Fortinet FortiGate's ease of management is the most valuable feature."
"Fortinet offers the latest versions to cater to the needs of enterprises."
"The solution can autoscale."
"One of the notable advantages of Azure Firewall is its user-friendly interface, which closely resembles or shares similarities with other Azure components."
"One of the best features is that it natively integrates with Azure Services and tools. When you have a third-party offering, that is not the case. But Azure Firewall provides a comprehensive and seamless security solution for your Azure resources."
"The solution has many useful features. For example, the solution allows users to create virtual IP addresses."
"The SIEM that Azure Firewall provides us is very robust."
"The initial setup is straightforward; Azure Firewall does not have a complex implementation process. It is very simple; you just need to enable the service within Azure. It does not require any maintenance because it is managed by Microsoft, that is, it is a fully managed service."
"Microsoft's technical support is very good. They're quite knowledgable and responsive."
"Azure Firewall is a cloud-native solution that removes the pain of load balancers."
"It is not attached to an appliance, meaning if you get a good PC/server, then you can already run a firewall."
"Web filtering is very reliable."
"The product helps small and medium enterprises secure their networks from intrusions. It also has features like DNS blocking."
"None of my clients has had a ransom or breach using Untangle."
"We find the web filter very valuable."
"The interface is very good."
"Application Control and filtering features are valuable."
"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."
"Technical support is good but the response time could be faster."
"NGN, reporting and controls."
"One area for improvement is the performance on the bandwidth demands for smaller devices, as well as better web filtering."
"The performance could be a bit better. Right now, I find it to be lacking. Having good performance is very important for our work."
"I would like to see better pricing in the next release, as well as a simplification of the installation."
"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."
"The pricing could always be better."
"Performance and technical support are the main issues with this solution."
"There is room for further integration of AI into the system."
"The threat intelligence part could be better. I don't see why our customers have to get an additional solution with Azure Firewall. It would be great if they made it on par with Palo Alto."
"For larger enterprises, they need to adjust the scalability."
"It's a little heavy compared to a FortiGate or other firewalls."
"It would be much easier if the on-premises, firewall rules, had some kind of export-import possibility in place, which is not the case right now."
"Azure should be able to work better as a balancer also, instead of just being a firewall. It should have a wider mandate."
"The threat intelligence aspect of this particular firewall is not at par with other providers."
"You have to have a defined IP range within your network to associate it with your network. The problem is you have to plan ahead of time if you expect to use the firewall in the future so that you don't have to reconfigure your subnets or that specific IP range. Other than that, I don't any issues. I use it for basic configuration for a single application, so I really don't try to leverage it for multiple applications where I might find some complexity or challenges."
"Whenever there are a large number of endpoint VPN clients, connectivity becomes slow."
"The web content filtering needs improvement."
"The hardware can be improved."
"The biggest challenge that we have with this solution is local support. The local support is a problem in our area."
"The product needs to improve its mobile application."
"We seek the availability of the hardware in our region. The hardware-based firewall from Untangle is currently not available in our region. It should have threat protection on a real-time basis. This feature, available in Check Point and Sandstorm kind of scenario, is currently missing in Untangle NG Firewall."
"On their low-end appliance, they could have more memory and the largest storage space. The low-end appliance comes with a too-small hard drive, and it could use a little extra room. It only comes with about 4 gigs or 8 gigs of memory, and the hardware space is only 40 gigs, which is really small."
"They don't have any feature that allows you to drop the session."
