"We make use of the new data center, specifically the containerized data center which is built and reviewed by Huawei, including all the device's infrastructure."
"The solution's implementation is pretty easy."
"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."
"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."

"The solution is scalable but it is difficult because you need to purchase new systems, it is not just one click."
"There needs to be more security equipment for the solution."
"I would like to see an antivirus solution included with the product."
"Huawei NGFW should have better reporting and a dashboard for the visibility of traffic."
"With the Huawei firewall, none of the features comes at the top. We found out later that customer support is really not good. For this firewall, because of our customers' routine, for example, every six months they'll do a penetration test to find weaknesses. So whenever they came up with VAPT reports, they are looking to Huawei for help. I think that's basically because it's a different culture. Chinese culture and our culture is different. They have always tried to help find some excuses or say some other things that cannot help you solve the problem immediately."
"The tool does not have web functionality. It needs to also have high end firewalls."
"The solution requires a more interactive dashboard. That would make it easier than playing with configurations the way we have to now."
"The product must improve its reporting features."
"The storage is minimal, so we have to set the system to delete data after seven days."
"It does have multi-factor authentication in some areas, but I would love to see a more widely implemented version of that on the devices themselves."
"The product needs to have a better support group for its online support, specifically for its help desk."
"They don't have any feature that allows you to drop the session."
"We seek the availability of the hardware in our region. The hardware-based firewall from Untangle is currently not available in our region. It should have threat protection on a real-time basis. This feature, available in Check Point and Sandstorm kind of scenario, is currently missing in Untangle NG Firewall."
"The ability to setup a DDNS for each WAN independently would be a very handy feature."
"The product should improve reporting."
