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 response is very quick and they can visually resolve our problems in a short period."
"UTM/NGFW features and FortiCloud for logs and backups are awesome."
"SSL-VPN is very useful for us and has been very reliable."
"The features that prevent internet connections, the filtering are the most valuable because we did not have any internet protection before."
"The UTM feature is quite good. FortiAP is easy to deploy because both Fortigate and FortiAP are under the same brand. Otherwise, you need to do more work on the configuration."
"Layer-3 firewall and routing are the most valuable features."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiGate is URL filtering."
"The interface is very good."
"The product’s quality and performance are better than other vendors."
"The technical support services are excellent."
"We like the solution’s protocol and its dashboard system."
"Juniper is more flexible with the commit check and the commit confirmed command. The design of the forwarding and contract plan in the operating system is very important for the performance when we have very big traffic."
"The command feature is valuable."
"It's much faster to deploy a power source. If you need to deploy a firewall in the cloud of software, it's much easier and much faster than deploying the office firewall in a rush."
"The authentication part is seamless and easy for people."
"The technical support has been good."
"Web filtering is very reliable."
"None of my clients has had a ransom or breach using Untangle."
"The product’s most valuable features are endpoint protection management, load balancing, and connectivity with Active Directory."
"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 web blocking for my clients and the application control are valuable."
"They have a command center that makes it easy to log into and see all of your appliances nationwide."
"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."
"The features I have found the most useful are the web filter, the captive portal, the SSL inspector, and the ad-blocker. They're awesome."
"The support is the main thing that needs to be improved."
"We were not able to build a full-mesh VPN; however, I am not sure if this was the fault of Fortinet FortiGate."
"Fortinet FortiGate needs to improve to be on par with its competitors, such as Palo Alto and Sophos. They are the market leaders. Fortinet FortiGate needs to improve its capabilities. However, we are happy with Fortinet FortiGate."
"One of the problems I was having was with user mapping, and it is an issue for which I have escalated tickets with Fortinet support."
"The improvement is related to logs. Instead of the CLI, we should be able to have more insights into the logs of the firewall in the GUI."
"Tunnel flapping was one of the major things I had seen wherein your internet link remains but your VPN tunnel is down. However, since I got a fix from the TAC team, I have not noticed it, but the customer complained a few times that they couldn't access the internet because of this problem."
"Some of the filtering is not robust, you can escape it with a VPN. Some of the users bypass some of the filters. It catches some but it also misses some, that area could be improved. It's functioning reasonably but there's room for improvement in that area."
"I think the only issue that needs improvement is the interface."
"They really need to improve the GUI."
"The GUI really needs a lot of work, and it has got worse with successive version updates."
"The security feature must be improved."
"I would like to see an activity sensor for malicious content or sensor for viruses and malware."
"The solution's GUI needs improvement."
"The user interface could always be better. They could make it simpler and more intuitive."
"There are too many types of licenses, which can be confusing."
"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 product needs to have a better support group for its online support, specifically for its help desk."
"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."
"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 improve its mobile application."
"It would be much easier if there was a mobile app."
"The product should improve reporting."
"The ability to setup a DDNS for each WAN independently would be a very handy feature."
"Whenever there are a large number of endpoint VPN clients, connectivity becomes slow."
