We performed a comparison between Juniper SRX Series 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 solution is stable."
"The security features that they have are quite good. On top of that, their licensing model is quite nice where they don't charge you anything for the SD-WAN functionality for the firewall."
"The most valuable feature is the bundled subscription, which is IPS, TV and web filtering."
"It is easy to use. We chose this product for the possibility to have virtual domains (VDOMs). We are building another company in the group, and we would like to split the firewalling rules and policies between these two companies. Each company would be able to manage its own policies and security rules, which is an advantage of Fortinet FortiGate. We can define VDOMs, and every company can manage its own VDOM as if it has its own physical firewall, but in fact, we would be using the same physical appliance because we are also using the same internet lines. So, it allows us to reuse the existing resources without the disadvantage of having to compromise on policies and security. Each company can choose its own way of working."
"The solution has very good threat and content filtering switches."
"The CLI and GUI do a good job of putting a lot at your fingertips."
"It's great for capturing the traffic and troubleshooting it."
"Security management tool that's easy to integrate and easy to work with. No issues found with its stability and scalability."
"Most of our clients use it as a traditional firewall, blocking Layer 3 and Layer 4, blocking by transport."
"From a protection perspective, it provides a network perimeter security function for our company."
"The security features and the model collection are the most valuable."
"The virtualization feature is the most valuable feature. Sometimes customers are requesting a private connection using mobile data when they are connecting to remote sites."
"It's easily scalable."
"It'sa very secure device, it has good attack prevention capabilities using UTM."
"The high availability of the application is good."
"The most valuable feature is robustness."
"Web Filter is effective, Web Cache offers bandwidth savings, and the VPN setup is easy."
"The web blocking for my clients and the application control are valuable."
"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."
"The product’s most valuable features are endpoint protection management, load balancing, and connectivity with Active Directory."
"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 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."
"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."
"They should improve high CPU and memory usage that occurs."
"Fortinet FortiGate can be integrated with different platforms. They have integrations in place, but I can't say they're 100%."
"I feel that the reporting needs to be improved."
"The license renewal process, annual renewal price, and the web application firewall features should be improved."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve the user interface. There should be more functionality and options through the GUI."
"I would like to have logs, monitoring, and reporting for a month without extra fees."
"They've become quite expensive."
"The captive portal could be improved."
"The CLI is verbose. You have to say a lot to do a little. I don't like that part of it. Cisco's command syntax seems to be a good bit more concise. When you're trying to get something done, you don't want to have to type a bunch."
"The CPU switch could be improved for a better overall performance of traffic flow."
"It must be 5G ready. The 5G network is rolling out soon in India, and Juniper must upgrade their firewall slot to the 5G network, or they must manufacture a 5G dongle card for the Juniper firewall. I want Juniper to upgrade their dongle from 4G to 5G. Presently, they have an expansion slot in the SRX 322 series and higher firewalls. In that expansion slot, they can put a 4G mobility SIM card so that whenever our primary link is down, it will automatically connect through this GSM network and form a tunnel."
"In the next release, I would like to have a better web interface. It needs to be more user-friendly. Right now, you can only access many features through the console."
"The reporting is lacking."
"The user interface and the GUI need improvement."
"It should be easier to escalate support tickets."
"The technical support has room for improvement."
"The storage is minimal, so we have to set the system to delete data after seven days."
"The management console for partners is a bit tricky (buggy)."
"The web content filtering needs improvement."
"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."
"The ability to setup a DDNS for each WAN independently would be a very handy feature."
"Web-filtering policies could be improved."
"The common center facility that Untangle provides should be available on-premises. There are great corporations here in Mexico that like the Untangle solution, but they don't like the fact that the monitoring and access to the appliance are in the cloud. They request for the common center facility to be available and installed on-premises."
"They don't have any feature that allows you to drop the session."
