"All of the features of Fortinet FortiGate are useful and the security protection is good."
"Application Control and filtering features are valuable."
"We find the web filter very valuable."
"Its detection, antivirus, and filtering features are the most valuable. The facility to connect by using the VPN connection is also a very valuable feature. It is very strong, secure, and reliable. We have implemented the Untangle solution in all hardware. It is also a user-friendly solution. It is easy to learn and easy to configure."
"It is not attached to an appliance, meaning if you get a good PC/server, then you can already run a firewall."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to see a more intuitive dashboard."
"The feedback that I have received is that the performance could be better, and the user experience is not as good compared to a previous solution we used. It could be more user-friendly. Of course, it still works fine for our operations."
"The room for improvement is about the global delivery time period. Usually I need to wait for almost one month to deliver it overseas. So if you can shorten the deliver time it'd be great."
"The support is the main thing that needs to be improved."
"Its filtering is sometimes too precise or strict. We sometimes have to bypass and authorize some of the sites, but they get blocked. We know that they are trusted sites, but they are blocked, and we don't know why."
"The product does need better support in the cloud environment. It's not exactly cloud-native right now."
"I think there could be more QoS features"
"Cisco Meraki products are rising very quickly in the cloud and the connected era. Meraki products offer much better ROI, upgradability, and manageability."
"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."
"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."
"It would be much easier if there was a mobile app."
"They don't have any feature that allows you to drop the session."
"The hardware can be improved."
"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 must improve its reporting features."
"Web-filtering policies could be improved."
