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."It's user-friendly and easy to operate."
"Fortinet FortiGate has many valuable features, such as IDS, and intrusion detection. It has security features that are in part with the technologies that are available in the market."
"It enables our organization to become more productive. Also, it protects our NEtWare from viruses and malware."
"Overall, the pricing of the solution is very good. The product offers good value."
"It performs very well."
"The user interface (UI) is very, very good."
"Security, SD-WAN, and Streetscape are valuable features."
"Web filtering and two-factor authentication are great features."
"The solution has been good for fulfilling our basic needs."
"The CLI works perfectly."
"The reason that we picked Juniper SRX is for the scalability, the fit for purpose, the tools that are available, the ongoing support and the ability to monitor, but particularly for the virtual routers in our data centers so that we can quickly upscale them when needed, when we need more throughput."
"One of Juniper SRX's most valuable features is the site-to-site VPN."
"It is very fast and very easy to maintain. Another nice part of it is that you can easily extract the logs and move them over to a security operations center."
"Technical support is perfect."
"I like the routing and firewall features."
"From a protection perspective, it provides a network perimeter security function for our company."
"The product’s most valuable features are endpoint protection management, load balancing, and connectivity with Active Directory."
"The interface is very good."
"Easy to set up and easy to integrate."
"It is not attached to an appliance, meaning if you get a good PC/server, then you can already run a firewall."
"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."
"Web filtering is very reliable."
"We find the web filter very 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."
"I feel that the reporting needs to be improved."
"We were not able to build a full-mesh VPN; however, I am not sure if this was the fault of Fortinet FortiGate."
"With the addition of some features, it is possible that FortiGate can be used in all verticals."
"Fortinet needs more memory to save the log files. We need it to save the logs on the hardware and not in the cloud. I know this feature is available in FortiCloud, but if we need this log locally, it is not available."
"Their software support needs improvement. I would prefer to have better support for bug fixes. Sometimes, we open a ticket, and it is very difficult to get a solution. Specifically, we are not at all happy with their support for load balancing."
"There are some tiny bugs that sometimes affect the operations. In the past revision of it, there was a bug. Because of the bug, we had to downgrade the version. It happened only with the last revision."
"Its reporting can be improved. Sometimes, I don't get proper reports."
"The central management for the FortiGate Fortinet Firewall needs improvement. They have the manager to do the essential management for both SD-WAN and for the security policy. They should also improve the SD-WAN function."
"The solution's configurations and syntax are specific and more complicated than other platforms."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"It was very difficult to deal with and required a lot of support, and the UI is very poor."
"Does not offer protection for IoT devices"
"Junos Space should be improved to be on par with FortiGate's solution for managing firewalls and routing."
"When I was going to upgrade the OS, the solution didn't accept certain USB devices."
"The solution is quite advanced. You need a lot of training to use it effectively."
"The visibility/reporting could be better. To see something, you have to export the log to a syslog and then process with another product."
"The storage is minimal, so we have to set the system to delete data after seven days."
"Whenever there are a large number of endpoint VPN clients, connectivity becomes slow."
"The pricing should be reduced because it is expensive."
"The pricing is not as good as it was some time ago. They've since skipped offering a lot of individual features."
"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 would be much easier if there was a mobile app."
"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."
