Find out in this report how the two Firewalls solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We purchased Fortinet because of the pricing, its functionality, because it met our requirements, and the total cost of ownership over five years was quite reasonable. In the market, Fortinet is rated quite well."
"The SD-WAN is the most valuable feature."
"Fortinet FortiGate's reliability is valuable."
"The VPN is the most valuable feature."
"Fortinet FortiGate's most valuable features are ease of use, flexibility, and most of the configuration we can be done using the GUI. When we compare Fortinet FortiGate with other solutions the firewall policy are very easy to understand."
"What's most important is the ease of use."
"The pipe filter application is an outstanding feature."
"The technical support in our region is excellent."
"The product helps small and medium enterprises secure their networks from intrusions. It also has features like DNS blocking."
"It is not attached to an appliance, meaning if you get a good PC/server, then you can already run a firewall."
"The web blocking for my clients and the application control are 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."
"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 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."
"Application Control and filtering features are valuable."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"It helps a lot of companies to reduce their downtime. Also, It helps businesses in terms of being secured and protected from any threats."
"Once you have Zscaler running you have access to configure it however you want."
"Most of the features that Zscaler has to offer, we will deploy."
"The product’s firewall and VPN package are fantastic compared to any other solution."
"Includes advanced tech protection."
"The solution is scalable."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Zscaler Cloud Firewall understands the applications in the current generation and adapts to the present generation cloud applications."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve by adding enhancements to FortiMail, FortiSOAR, and FortiDeceptor."
"The pricing could be a bit better, especially when you consider how they have the most basic offering priced."
"To the best of my knowledge, Fortinet does not have a CASB solution and Fortinet does not have a Zero trust solution."
"I would like to see more advanced developments of a wireless controller in the future."
"A sandbox would be good in order to be able to inspect the emails containing spam and be able to validate the emails that contain malware, prior to delivering to the customer."
"The solution lacks sufficient filtering."
"We were not able to build a full-mesh VPN; however, I am not sure if this was the fault of Fortinet FortiGate."
"It would be ideal if they had some sort of GUI interface for troubleshooting and diagnostics."
"The hardware can be improved."
"Whenever there are a large number of endpoint VPN clients, connectivity becomes slow."
"It would be much easier if there was a mobile app."
"For the web filter, I think they can do better especially on the free model."
"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 storage is minimal, so we have to set the system to delete data after seven days."
"Web-filtering policies could be improved."
"The pricing should be reduced because it is expensive."
"Instead of the standard license, they should certainly provide customers with the visibility to access and view the logs."
"They do not provide a few components that are fundamental to differentiate the products"
"Zscaler Cloud Firewall should have a better understanding of all dynamic cloud applications."
"Data Leak Prevention is only for web filtering and there is no protection for email."
"When it comes to customer support, there is room for improvement in Zscaler's service."
"Its technical support services could be better."
"It would be better if they improved their policy, package visibility, and flexibility while we're creating rules for inspection. It could also be cheaper or more things could be included in the basic package. In the next release, I would like better coverage in the Asia Pacific region and better quality of service."
"The issue right now is probably that Zscaler is not providing web browser isolation. Another solution, Menlo, offers this. For one customer, we had to send traffic to Menlo to do the isolation for us. It was requested by the customer so that they could integrate any iframe. Zscaler needs to add this type of feature in their next release."
