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."I like Fortinet FortiGate's antispam filter, SPN, and clustering features."
"We are very happy with the general bandwidth agility we have seen from one website to another website."
"The most valuable feature is the FortiManager for centralized management."
"It is useful for protecting and segregating the internal networks from the internet. Most of our customers also use the FortiGate client to connect to their offices by using the VPN client, and of course, they usually activate the antivirus, deep inspection, and intrusion prevention services. They are also using it for web filtering and implementing various policies dealing with forwardings, NAT, etc."
"I like how we can achieve total integration."
"It blocks the vulnerabilities that can negatively impact us."
"I am "headache free" that I don't have to categorize all the websites and that security has been pre categorized by the people, and that the services are getting updated. At least one part of my problem is over."
"It is very flexible to use."
"The Juniper SRX series is easy to use."
"From a protection perspective, it provides a network perimeter security function for our company."
"We did not have problems with scaling, as we have less than 500 users in our organization."
"CLI: Junos CLI is very easy to use, and it is also very easy to find back items in the configuration and to change them."
"We mostly use the Layer 4 firewall functions: Access rules, NAT, and site-to-site IPsec VPN."
"It provides good routing and high performance of the data center."
"The solution has proven to be quite stable."
"It's fine, and it's good. It's very stable."
"We find the web filter very valuable."
"Easy to set up and easy to integrate."
"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."
"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 helps small and medium enterprises secure their networks from intrusions. It also has features like DNS blocking."
"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 interface is very good."
"It is very easy to deploy and monitor. "
"Performance and technical support are the main issues with this solution."
"The solution could have licensing fees reduced in the future."
"They have to just improve its performance when we enable all UTM features. When you enable all the features, the performance of FortiGate, as well as of Sophos and SonicWall, goes down."
"Due to its higher cost, Fortinet FortiGate can lead to increased operational expenses."
"We sometimes have issues with FortiGate's routing table in the latest firmware update. We had to downgrade the device because our customers complained about bugs."
"The cloud features can be improved."
"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."
"If they could extend their fabric towards other vendor environments for integration, that would be great."
"I would like them to add a dashboard because it's difficult to operate."
"it would be more powerful if Juniper brought out a security product other than the firewall, like anti-spam, endpoint protection, etc. Customers who want to deploy security solutions are not just thinking about firewalls... Juniper should have an end-to-end solution, from the endpoint to the network level."
"Does not offer protection for IoT devices"
"The range of devices should be expanded to include those suitable for a small implementation. Juniper does not have any lower-priced SRX models, useful perhaps for a single ATM or a single bank branch."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"It does have its nuances in terms of deployment. There are always areas to make something easier or more intuitive or make the system auto-negotiate more with existing hardware."
"The technical support has room for improvement."
"The Juniper SRX product needs to improve in terms of innovation."
"Web-filtering policies could be improved."
"The management console for partners is a bit tricky (buggy)."
"The product should improve reporting."
"The pricing is not as good as it was some time ago. They've since skipped offering a lot of individual features."
"The web content filtering needs improvement."
"The ability to setup a DDNS for each WAN independently would be a very handy feature."
"The product must improve its reporting features."
"The storage is minimal, so we have to set the system to delete data after seven days."
