Untangle NG Firewall Stability

Josh Evans - PeerSpot reviewer
CEO at DragonTech IT Services, Inc

We have had one device go down in three years. I've never been certain if that was an issue with Untangle themselves or with the client location. I know for a fact that the client did unplug the device repeatedly because they did not want to listen to their tech support. They unplugged it repeatedly. They left it disconnected from the internet completely for several months. It was disconnected and turned off, and it came to a point where we were never able to remotely restore that connection. So, we had to go in and physically factory reset the device. That's the only issue that I've had in terms of stability, but I don't know if that's an issue with Untangle or an issue with the client themselves. We dropped that client shortly after.

So far, it has been excellent. Untangle can be run on our own computer. You can build a dedicated computer and learn, and that's how we used to do it until they came out with their appliances.

Untangle is highly stable. We have several appliances out there, and I've only had to replace one because of a surge issue that was unrelated to Untangle. It was a problem with the electrical company, and we didn't have it on an APC backup system.

I have some performance issues from time to time, like every two or three months, I need to reboot it. 

Therefore, that's where I would like to have some more detailed logs because I can't understand why it's rebooting; the logs are just a bit all over the place. It has a lot of logs, but it's a bit. It needs, like, a full-on course to understand the logs.

Overall, I would rate the stability a ten out of ten because I haven't had any major issues except the major reboot.

The solution is stable. It runs well. If you don't know Linux, it's a bit difficult to recover the files if the system goes down. In most cases, I do a backup, rebuild it and load the backup.

Nowadays, stability is good. In the past, there were problems with stability but this is something that the vendor has worked on to improve.

We have still had issues but when we looked at the details, we found that it was a problem with our hardware. It wasn't optimized to work in that environment. Once we increase the hardware to match the requirements, it was fine and started working well.

Generally, in terms of the administration, it's a team of about five users who administer the appliance. In terms of using the functionality or the features, there are about 800 users.  All are accessing the appliance through various means, through the web filtering, and through the access VPN.

It's been a pretty stable solution. It hasn't crashed much, only when I've really put it through its paces. From an end-user perspective, I wouldn't have known that anything was wrong - it was only when I did something bad and was blocked that I got a pop-up window saying I'd been blocked by the firewall. From a user perspective, you don't even see anything. I never had any performance degradation, no lagging, no internet browsing, speech slow downs, nothing like that.

We did this installation approximately six years ago, and nothing has crashed. It is very stable. We are getting the updates on a regular basis. We are very happy with it.

A single person can handle the entire installation at multiple locations.
