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."Its administrative panel is very intuitive and simple. It is simpler than the other solutions that we had. As an administrator, we are always looking for the easiest solution to manage network policies. We are able to filter everything on our network and also use the VPN feature, which is important these days when people are working remotely during COVID."
"The initial setup of Fortinet FortiGate was straightforward."
"One of the valuable features is a standardized OS."
"Using this product makes the VPN seamless and almost invisible to me in the sense that I don't have to think about it."
"It's super reliable. I don't think I've ever had a reliability issue with it."
"The customization potential is quite impressive."
"Initial setup is easy to configure."
"The management console is pretty simple, so anyone who understands networking can initially deploy the solution."
"The initial setup is pretty simple."
"I'm told the solution is the fastest, and, so far, I do find that to be the case."
"The technical support services are excellent."
"The most valuable features are application filtering, content filtering, the intrusion prevention system (IPS), and definitely the application firewall."
"One of Juniper vSRX's most valuable features is its integration with safety applications. It keeps the software secure from developers without relying on third-party solutions."
"The product’s quality and performance are better than other vendors."
"This solution works well. Their switches and firewall are good."
"The product's scalability is good, and my company has 150 users."
"The most valuable features are IPS, MAPI, NAT, and VPN."
"What I like about this product, which is the reason that we continue to use it, is that you can install the software version on your own hardware. In case there is a problem with the hardware, we can just install the firewall in another machine and restore the configuration."
"Web filtering is very reliable."
"The web blocking for my clients and the application control are valuable."
"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."
"Easy to set up and easy to integrate."
"The product helps small and medium enterprises secure their networks from intrusions. It also has features like DNS blocking."
"They have a command center that makes it easy to log into and see all of your appliances nationwide."
"They should improve the interface to make it more user-friendly."
"Pricing for it is a bit high. It could be cheaper."
"There could be more integration between the logging and analytical platforms to make it more seamless and integrated."
"One of the features that I would like to have is to do with endpoint production, it should be integrated. For example, the firewall gets notified of any kind of forensic event that needs to be done, such as if there is a ransomware attack and how it originated, all those records have to be available from the firewall, which is not."
"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 have to say that the initial setup was complex. The deployment took a few days to get set up. Initially, we were using an IPVanish. We switched to this tool since we thought it would be easier. But it turns out it wasn't easier to set up and run."
"I'm not sure if it's something that they already have or are developing something, however, we need some dedicated features for container security."
"I would like some automated custom reporting."
"The pricing still needs some improvement."
"The reporting can be improved."
"There are too many types of licenses, which can be confusing."
"VPN access is an area that needs improvement."
"The GUI really needs a lot of work, and it has got worse with successive version updates."
"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."
"The user interface could always be better. They could make it simpler and more intuitive."
"I've talked to people that say Juniper now, as a device, can be a solution for a data center, but in the past, I have not seen this as being possible."
"The pricing is not as good as it was some time ago. They've since skipped offering a lot of individual features."
"It would be much easier if there was a mobile app."
"The web content filtering needs improvement."
"There is room for improvement in the logs. Like with Cisco, I can do almost everything and know almost anything about what's running. Untangle works very much out of the box. It's very user-friendly, but it's not engineer-friendly. So, it's good for a home user. For something fairly easy, but at the same time, with good technology to have at home, because at home, I'm not a millionaire or anything like that. So it's not like I'm worried to get hacked. I didn't want something like a Cisco firewall; it would be a bit overkill to have at home. So that's why I went for Untangle. But it lacks a few features. It's just a tick-box kind of thing. So they have apps and turn on and off the apps. The VPN's configuration is all very ticked. They have a few custom configurations, but it's not that much."
"The product needs to have a better support group for its online support, specifically for its help desk."
"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."
"The product should improve reporting."
"The management console for partners is a bit tricky (buggy)."
