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 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."
"It's a firewall that secures our internal network. I have been using it since 2013, and I find that most of the features are advanced, and very user friendly."
"Overall, the pricing of the solution is very good. The product offers good value."
"Offers good security and filtering."
"Its user interface is good, and it is always working fine."
"LinkGreat firewall capabilities"
"It's quite comfortable to handle the FortiGate firewall."
"FortiGate firewalls are easy to manage through a user-friendly web interface. They also have advanced features like DDoS and DLP. However, I wouldn't recommend enabling all of these features on one device because it can cause performance issues."
"Azure's cost-effectiveness is its major advantage."
"I think that one of the best features is definitely the premium version, along with the IDPs in terms of the intrusion detection and prevention system."
"The solution can autoscale."
"Azure Firewall is a cloud-native solution that removes the pain of load balancers."
"The solution is very stable. When comparing it to other environments, it's actually quite impressive."
"The SIEM that Azure Firewall provides us is very robust."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable features are IPS, MAPI, NAT, and VPN."
"It is not attached to an appliance, meaning if you get a good PC/server, then you can already run a firewall."
"None of my clients has had a ransom or breach using Untangle."
"Application Control and filtering features are valuable."
"The Untangle firewall is a software firewall, so it runs on generic hardware. We found that was probably the best feature, and it's why we chose it when we started using it three years ago."
"The product is easy to implement."
"Easy to set up and easy to integrate."
"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."
"It should provide better visibility over the network and more information in the form of reports for the end users. Its installation should also be easier."
"The solution could have licensing fees reduced in the future."
"The debugging and troubleshooting has room for improvement."
"One issue that I have had is that sometimes I need to monitor the traffic, so I need to filter it according to the user and which user is using it the most. I experience a bottleneck most of the time, particularly at the peak time when the number of contracts and users are at maximum."
"The pricing could always be better."
"Its reporting and pricing need improvement."
"We would like to see better pricing."
"I would like to see more advanced developments of a wireless controller in the future."
"It has fewer features than you can get from other firewalls, like anti-spam and anti-phishing. Those kinds of things are not included. It only includes IDS and IDB."
"The reporting, logging, and monitoring features, as well as the flexibility of the policies, need to be improved."
"The solution should incorporate features similar to competitors like split tunneling."
"This solution is not mature when it comes to handling perimeter traffic like internet browsing."
"The development area and QA area could be improved. With those improvements, we can improve projects and take even less time to implement them."
"There should be better monitoring and logging. Currently, it is put in Sentinel. It should be more seamless and from the interface."
"For larger enterprises, they need to adjust the scalability."
"An Azure firewall is not a real firewall."
"The management console for partners is a bit tricky (buggy)."
"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."
"Whenever there are a large number of endpoint VPN clients, connectivity becomes slow."
"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 ability to setup a DDNS for each WAN independently would be a very handy feature."
"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 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."
"The product needs to have a better support group for its online support, specifically for its help desk."
