We performed a comparison between Juniper vSRX 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."All of the features of Fortinet FortiGate are useful and the security protection is good."
"Fortinet offers the latest versions to cater to the needs of enterprises."
"Security management tool that's easy to integrate and easy to work with. No issues found with its stability and scalability."
"We can detect any attack of viruses or malware at the first point of contact."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiGate are the ease of use and there are several operating systems that can include the hardware capacities. In the newer releases, the resources were more useful because they were included in the operating system."
"The VPN is the most valuable feature."
"We are very happy with the general bandwidth agility we have seen from one website to another website."
"The main reason why I purchased the particular unit was that it had good reviews and what other people were saying as far as its completeness and its leading capabilities in terms of endpoint security was very good."
"The hardware is stable."
"The technical support has been good."
"Juniper is more flexible with the commit check and the commit confirmed command. The design of the forwarding and contract plan in the operating system is very important for the performance when we have very big traffic."
"The initial setup is pretty simple."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The technical support services are excellent."
"The product’s quality and performance are better than other vendors."
"It's much faster to deploy a power source. If you need to deploy a firewall in the cloud of software, it's much easier and much faster than deploying the office firewall in a rush."
"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."
"All features are useful. We are using premium features such as bandwidth sharing, failover, web filters, SSL controls, antivirus, and VPN. We use these features to the fullest. These features are available in the paid firewall license, not the free one."
"The web blocking for my clients and the application control are valuable."
"The most valuable features are IPS, MAPI, NAT, and VPN."
"Application Control and filtering features are valuable."
"Web Filter is effective, Web Cache offers bandwidth savings, and the VPN setup is easy."
"The product is easy to implement."
"None of my clients has had a ransom or breach using Untangle."
"The license renewal process, annual renewal price, and the web application firewall features should be improved."
"It should be more stable. There should be full integration within Fortinet products themselves as well as with other third-party products. Especially when you're not dealing with SIEM and the correlation of the security box, we want Fortinet to be able to share that information with as many other products as it can."
"I would like to have logs, monitoring, and reporting for a month without extra fees."
"There can be more security in hybrid implementations. When a customer has a hybrid environment where some parts are in the cloud, we need a consistent security solution for such scenarios."
"It should have a better pricing plan. It is too expensive. It should also have a more granular view of the attack. I don't have FortiAnalyzer, and it is difficult for me to have a complete view when there is an attack on my server."
"We would like to see an upgrade to the VPN feature, we are using the VPN from outside of our office and there is a limitation to 10 connections, more connections would be suitable."
"They sometimes hide some features and if you want to enable them, you have to go in the CLI, enable the feature and configure it through the CLI. Customers, typically, like everything to be done by the GUI."
"If I had any criticism that I would give FortiGate, it would be that they need to stop changing their logging format. Every time we do a firmware upgrade, it is a massive issue on the SIM. Parsers have to be rebuilt. Even the FortiGate guys came in and said that they don't play well in the sandbox."
"The solution's GUI needs improvement."
"The GUI interface needs improvement."
"In the next release, I would like to see improvements made to the GUI because it isn't very good."
"They really need to improve the GUI."
"It is pretty complex to manage and could be easier."
"The security feature must be improved."
"The solution could improve its technical support."
"VPN access is an area that needs improvement."
"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."
"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 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."
"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."
"They don't have any feature that allows you to drop the session."
"It would be much easier if there was a mobile app."
"The web content filtering needs improvement."
"The pricing should be reduced because it is expensive."
