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."The web filtering feature and the intrusion protection system are the most valuable. It is a resilient appliance. I never had an issue with it in terms of any security breaches."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiGate is load balancing. It can provide central management and VPNA. Additionally, it has enhanced our security environment."
"Whenever we raise a complaint with FortiGate, their response and resolution times are minimal."
"The features that I have found most valuable are the SD-WAN and their IP4 policy."
"I only deal with it from a security analyst's point of view. I don't really get into the features of the actual FortiGate. From the security point of view, it works, and it does its job."
"The IPsec tunnels are very easily created, and quite interoperable with devices from other vendors."
"There are lots of features and most of them are deployed for internet security. Users are protected if they accidentally go to some malicious sites."
"FortiGate improved our security. It's one of the best hardware firewalls."
"All its features are good. That's why we recommend it."
"The solution has many useful features. For example, the solution allows users to create virtual IP addresses."
"It's helped us improve our security posture."
"We secure the entry point to the virtual data center with the firewall."
"One of the best features is that it natively integrates with Azure Services and tools. When you have a third-party offering, that is not the case. But Azure Firewall provides a comprehensive and seamless security solution for your Azure resources."
"I like its order management feature. It doesn't have the kind of threat intelligence that Palo Alto has, but the order management makes it much simpler to know the difference."
"Azure Firewall is a cloud-native solution that removes the pain of load balancers."
"It provided ease of maintenance. If a new firewall was needed, we only had to run the pipelines for this. So, the maintenance was very easy."
"It is very easy to deploy and monitor. "
"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."
"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."
"None of my clients has had a ransom or breach using Untangle."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"Web filtering is very reliable."
"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."
"They have a command center that makes it easy to log into and see all of your appliances nationwide."
"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."
"In the next release, maybe the documentation on how to use this solution could be improved."
"Backup can be improved."
"A lack of integration between our data centers."
"The monitor and the visibility, in this proxy, is very weak."
"The price of FortiGate should be reduced because there are some other leading products that are cheaper."
"I would like to see improvements with the antivirus and IPS as they are not working properly all the time."
"Fortinet FortiGate is a firewall solution and once it's deployed, you can rest assured that your system is secure."
"For larger enterprises, they need to adjust the scalability."
"The tool needs to improve the onboarding and transition process for on-prem users."
"This solution is not mature when it comes to handling perimeter traffic like internet browsing."
"It's a little heavy compared to a FortiGate or other firewalls."
"The product could be made more customizable."
"Azure has new versions including a premium firewall. But I would like to see them not put the premium features on Azure Firewall Premium alone because it is quite expensive."
"There is room for further integration of AI into the system."
"Right now, with Azure Firewall, we cannot have a normal inbound traffic flow. For inbound, Microsoft suggests using application gateways, so the options are very limited. I cannot use this firewall as an intermediate firewall because of the limitations, and I cannot point routing to another firewall. So if I want to use back-to-back firewall architecture in my environment, I cannot use Azure Firewall for that type of configuration either."
"The biggest challenge that we have with this solution is local support. The local support is a problem in our area."
"The product needs to improve its mobile application."
"The storage is minimal, so we have to set the system to delete data after seven days."
"The ability to setup a DDNS for each WAN independently would be a very handy feature."
"The management console for partners is a bit tricky (buggy)."
"The hardware can be improved."
"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 pricing should be reduced because it is expensive."
