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."Its performance in fulfilling our requirements has been satisfactory."
"The technical support is great."
"It can expand easily."
"The scalability of Fortinet FortiGate is good."
"The features that prevent internet connections, the filtering are the most valuable because we did not have any internet protection before."
"The IPS is good. It protect my network from attackers."
"We are a visual effects company, and there have been a number of high profile security issues in our industry. This has brought us to a higher standard of security, which our clients are very keen on these days."
"The user interface is relatively easy. The devices are easy to deploy and figure out when you have experience with other security appliances."
"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."
"Azure Firewall's feature that I have found most valuable is its scalability."
"Azure Firewall is a cloud-native solution that removes the pain of load balancers."
"All its features are good. That's why we recommend it."
"The solution has many useful features. For example, the solution allows users to create virtual IP addresses."
"It's helped us improve our security posture."
"It's auto-scalable, which is a great feature."
"It is easy for me to protect certain ports or even the IP addresses, as well as do whitelisting, blacklisting, and the FQDN when we want virtual machines connected and to protect certain websites."
"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."
"The product is easy to implement."
"It is very easy to deploy and monitor. "
"The most valuable features are IPS, MAPI, NAT, and VPN."
"The product’s most valuable features are endpoint protection management, load balancing, and connectivity with Active Directory."
"None of my clients has had a ransom or breach using Untangle."
"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."
"The platform's interface could improve."
"Usually, we sell the bundle with the UTM or threat management piece with IPS, IDS. Other providers, such as Palo Alto, are ahead in terms of safe functionality. So, for me, delivering truly safe service is probably something that still needs to be improved."
"Technical support is good but the response time could be faster."
"Fortinet already improved FortiGate, but in the current market, many brands of security devices have improved together. Fortinet still needs to catch up with market standards. Fortinet is lacking in features in comparison to competitors."
"The reports are very basic."
"Some of the features in the graphical user interface do not work, which requires that we used the command-line-interface."
"Fortinet Fortigate could benefit by simplifying some of their processes."
"We had some issues in the beginning while setting it up, but after doing the firmware update, it is working fine."
"They can improve the pricing of Azure Firewall."
"The solution doesn't offer the same capabilities of Fortinet. It should offer intrusion prevention and advance filtering. These are two very useful features offered on Fortinet that Azure lacks."
"Azure should be able to work better as a balancer also, instead of just being a firewall. It should have a wider mandate."
"The solution lacks artificial intelligence and machine learning. It might be in the roadmap. However, currently, it's not available."
"The product could be made more customizable."
"For large organizations, a third-party firewall would be an added advantage, because it would have more advanced features, things that are not in Azure Firewall."
"It would be nice to be able to create groupings for servers and offer groups of IP addresses."
"For larger enterprises, they need to adjust the scalability."
"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 should improve reporting."
"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."
"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 pricing should be reduced because it is expensive."
"It would be much easier if there was a mobile app."
"The biggest challenge that we have with this solution is local support. The local support is a problem in our area."
"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."
