We performed a comparison between Juniper SRX Series 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 SSL VPN, as it allows us to connect and it separates this product from other firewalls."
"The solution is highly scalable because they have devices that can handle a large amount of traffic."
"Whenever we raise a complaint with FortiGate, their response and resolution times are minimal."
"The security fabric is excellent."
"The next-gen features, the unified threat management capabilities are something that just about everybody is interested in at this point."
"The response is very quick and they can visually resolve our problems in a short period."
"Reliability is the best feature. We faced some issues when we were setting it up, but the service, portal, and administration are good."
"The solution is stable."
"Performance is a strong point."
"We think they have a good interface, the operating system is good, it's robust. It has plenty of great features, and the relation between the cost and benefits works for our business."
"Security policies in combination with zones: It is very easy to organize the security polices in a logical structure."
"I like the routing and firewall features."
"It is a complete security bundle. The cloud-based Sky Advanced Threat Prevention feature is very valuable. I am 100% satisfied with the performance of the Juniper firewall. It has a very good throughput. It works very fine. We use our firewall as a site-to-site VPN or Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN). In both cases, it has a very good and optimum performance. Their service support is very good in India. I get really good support from the Juniper team."
"The setup is pretty straightforward."
"It helps us perform our daily jobs."
"The rollback option and Commit Confirmed are great features. They give us the security to change configurations without downtime."
"Application Control and filtering features are valuable."
"Web filtering is very reliable."
"It is very easy to deploy and monitor. "
"The features I have found the most useful are the web filter, the captive portal, the SSL inspector, and the ad-blocker. They're awesome."
"The web blocking for my clients and the application control are valuable."
"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."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"None of my clients has had a ransom or breach using Untangle."
"There are SD-WAN network monitoring, SD-WAN features, Industrial Databases, Internet of Things, Detection, etc., however, we do have not licenses for those features. We thought that if you bought a product, you should have all of the features it offers. Why should you need to make so many extra purchases to enable features? They should have one price for the entire offering."
"FortiOS is not simple."
"Fortinet FortiGate is a firewall solution and once it's deployed, you can rest assured that your system is secure."
"It can be a little bit more user-friendly in terms of policy definition and implementation. It seems a little bit complicated, and it could be simplified."
"Fortinet already improved FortiGate, but in the current market, many brands of security devices have improved together. Fortinet still needs to catch up with market standards. Fortinet is lacking in features in comparison to competitors."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve by adding FortiAnalyzer to its solution, we should not have to use another solution. FortiAnalyzer can provide more detailed information."
"I have to say that the initial setup was complex. The deployment took a few days to get set up. Initially, we were using an IPVanish. We switched to this tool since we thought it would be easier. But it turns out it wasn't easier to set up and run."
"The ease of use could be improved."
"JTAC (Juniper Networks Technical Assistance Center) is just okay for technical assistance. However, if you are used to Cisco TAC responsiveness, you will need to adjust your expectations with Juniper Networks TAC."
"The user interface and the GUI need improvement."
"While the GUI is pretty good on the Juniper side, there can still be tweaks made to it that will make it even better."
"it would be more powerful if Juniper brought out a security product other than the firewall, like anti-spam, endpoint protection, etc. Customers who want to deploy security solutions are not just thinking about firewalls... Juniper should have an end-to-end solution, from the endpoint to the network level."
"The configuration is difficult and it should be easier."
"The GUI needs to be easier to handle."
"I think improvement can be done to the security part, particularly the UDM, and the product should have a user-friendly interface similar to FortiGate. It should have the Azure RBAC in the next release."
"The CLI is verbose. You have to say a lot to do a little. I don't like that part of it. Cisco's command syntax seems to be a good bit more concise. When you're trying to get something done, you don't want to have to type a bunch."
"The management console for partners is a bit tricky (buggy)."
"Whenever there are a large number of endpoint VPN clients, connectivity becomes slow."
"The biggest challenge that we have with this solution is local support. The local support is a problem in our area."
"They don't have any feature that allows you to drop the session."
"The hardware can be improved."
"The product should improve reporting."
"The product needs to have a better support group for its online support, specifically for its help desk."
"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."
