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."Their interface is very easy to use, it is without bugs."
"The user interface (UI) is very, very good."
"Its administrative panel is very intuitive and simple. It is simpler than the other solutions that we had. As an administrator, we are always looking for the easiest solution to manage network policies. We are able to filter everything on our network and also use the VPN feature, which is important these days when people are working remotely during COVID."
"Virtual Domains (VDOMs) are a feature that we found valuable."
"There are great templates, so you don't have to customize them if you don't want to. You do have the option to custom create some folders and some reports, however, with what is there, you don't really need to go through extra effort, as they already give you a lot of predefined views of reports and so forth."
"Consolidated our network environment at all locations, but mainly at our datacenter."
"The security on offer is very good."
"We are very happy with the general bandwidth agility we have seen from one website to another website."
"Among the most valuable features are the DDoS protection that protects your virtual machines, the threat intelligence, and traffic filtering."
"We use the solution for application and server deployment."
"The solution should be capable of self-scaling, which is one of the features we like about it."
"One of the notable advantages of Azure Firewall is its user-friendly interface, which closely resembles or shares similarities with other Azure components."
"The feature that I have found the most valuable is the control over the network permissions and the network."
"All its features are good. That's why we recommend it."
"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."
"It's auto-scalable, which is a great feature."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"None of my clients has had a ransom or breach using Untangle."
"The web blocking for my clients and the application control are valuable."
"The product’s most valuable features are endpoint protection management, load balancing, and connectivity with Active Directory."
"Web filtering is very reliable."
"Easy to set up and easy to integrate."
"The product helps small and medium enterprises secure their networks from intrusions. It also has features like DNS blocking."
"We find the web filter very valuable."
"The integration with third-party tools may be something that they should work on."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve by adding enhancements to FortiMail, FortiSOAR, and FortiDeceptor."
"There are just some services that aren't available. For example, the Ethernet or point-to-point protocols. They could add these services to their product offering - especially services for ISPs."
"NGN, reporting and controls."
"The firmware needs improvement because there are bugs when a new release comes through. Sometimes, the configuration changes, and it's a bit harder to see where the fail is. The first time that you have the firmware, it tends to have some issues, and it's better to wait a bit to update the equipment."
"The firewall engine is not so strong as of now, in my opinion... My second concern is that, while they have Zero-day vulnerability and anti-malware features, the threat engine needs to be strengthened, its efficiency can be increased."
"Stability and technical support are the two major issues I have found with Fortinet."
"It does not have key authentication for admin access."
"There should be better monitoring and logging. Currently, it is put in Sentinel. It should be more seamless and from the interface."
"For larger enterprises, they need to adjust the scalability."
"They can improve the pricing of Azure Firewall."
"We find it's different implementing it region-to-region. It might help if it was universal across all regions."
"The development area and QA area could be improved. With those improvements, we can improve projects and take even less time to implement them."
"Azure Firewall definitely needs a broader feature base. It should be able to go all the way up to layer 7 when looking at applications and things like that."
"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."
"An Azure firewall is not a real firewall."
"The management console for partners is a bit tricky (buggy)."
"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."
"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."
"Whenever there are a large number of endpoint VPN clients, connectivity becomes slow."
"The pricing should be reduced because it is expensive."
"For the web filter, I think they can do better especially on the free model."
"The biggest challenge that we have with this solution is local support. The local support is a problem in our area."
"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."
