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 most valuable feature is the web filter."
"The most valuable features are the enterprise modeling and the simple interface."
"The solution is very user-friendly."
"Fortinet FortiGate is user-friendly and affordable."
"The CLI and GUI do a good job of putting a lot at your fingertips."
"Fortigate's most valuable feature is that it doesn't need a push policy when writing rules."
"Security solution with a straightforward and quick setup. It's a stable and scalable product."
"The solution is easy to configure and maintain remotely."
"It's auto-scalable, which is a great feature."
"Performance and stability are the key features of this product."
"All its features are good. That's why we recommend it."
"The solution is stable."
"The SIEM that Azure Firewall provides us is very robust."
"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's cost-effectiveness is its major advantage."
"The solution has many useful features. For example, the solution allows users to create virtual IP addresses."
"The product’s most valuable features are endpoint protection management, load balancing, and connectivity with Active Directory."
"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 most valuable features are IPS, MAPI, NAT, and VPN."
"It is very easy to deploy and monitor. "
"The initial setup is very easy."
"The web blocking for my clients and the application control are valuable."
"The interface is very good."
"Application Control and filtering features are valuable."
"Scalability is one of the disadvantages. When it comes to scalability, you have to actually change the box. If you want to upgrade it, you need to actually change the existing box and probably you take the system off to other sites."
"Fortinet FortiGate can improve by integrating the web application firewall and the DDoS protection part of the solution. Having a WAF feature, web application firewall, and proxy together would be a good benefit."
"The solution could be more secure and stable."
"The biggest "gotcha" is that if the client purchases what they call the UTM shared bundle, which has unified threat management on both, it's not as easy to manage if you have more than one firewall."
"They are doing good, but they can improve the distributor assignment. The availability of the product and the timeline of delivery are the main things. The distribution should be swift, and the distributor should not reach out to end customers directly. They should work as a distributor. There should also be one more local distributor. Currently, there is only one distributor in Pakistan, and the rest of them are in UAE. It is difficult to work with only one distributor. Sometimes, you don't get along with the same distributor, and that's why they should have one more distributor. Their licensing should also be improved. The activation or renewal of the product should be done from the date of renewal, not from the date on which the license expired."
"The monitor and the visibility, in this proxy, is very weak."
"The solution is very expensive."
"The reporting in Fortinet FortiGate could improve. Customers are having to purchase additional reporting components. When I have used the Sophos solution it is a complete solution, in Fortinet FortiGate you have to use additional tools to have the features needed."
"It's a little heavy compared to a FortiGate or other firewalls."
"It would be much easier if the on-premises, firewall rules, had some kind of export-import possibility in place, which is not the case right now."
"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 solution should incorporate features similar to competitors like split tunneling."
"For larger enterprises, they need to adjust the scalability."
"It needs a lot of improvement, especially on intruder detection. They are working hard on that."
"Azure Firewall should have a free trial version for new users so that they can evaluate it before deploying it."
"The solution lacks artificial intelligence and machine learning. It might be in the roadmap. However, currently, it's not available."
"The storage is minimal, so we have to set the system to delete data after seven days."
"They don't have any feature that allows you to drop the session."
"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."
"It would be much easier if there was a mobile app."
"The product needs to improve its mobile application."
"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 biggest challenge that we have with this solution is local support. The local support is a problem in our area."
