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."It is user friendly, and has all the features you need."
"The IPS is good. It protect my network from attackers."
"Fortinet FortiGate is stable. It's used across all the countries, this is the way most multinationals run their system."
"What's most important is the ease of use."
"It does a lot for you for intrusion protection and as an antivirus. The threat management bundle is worth the money. You don't need another company to monitor your web traffic for you. You can do everything yourself on the firewall. You restrict your own black list for people on the firewall. You don't need to pay some other company for another product to do that for you. The firewall can do that for you. So, it's an easy-to-use product for people to be independent. They don't need to rely on other vendors to do what the firewall can do. They can do everything."
"Initial setup is straightforward. There weren't too many issues with setting it up. It takes one hour or so."
"Security management tool that's easy to integrate and easy to work with. No issues found with its stability and scalability."
"The product offers very good security."
"The technical support has been good."
"It is deployed on the customer site, and we manage the firewalls on this side."
"The command feature is valuable."
"The features we found most valuable are using the IDS and IPS during protection. The application filtering feature is great."
"The solution has good features."
"The architecture of the OS in Juniper is very good. It's flexibility, scalability, and the technicality is also good."
"One of Juniper vSRX's most valuable features is its integration with safety applications. It keeps the software secure from developers without relying on third-party solutions."
"It's a very powerful solution and the firewalls offer high performance"
"The initial setup is very easy."
"The interface is very good."
"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 product’s most valuable features are endpoint protection management, load balancing, and connectivity with Active Directory."
"The most valuable features are IPS, MAPI, NAT, and VPN."
"The product is easy to implement."
"It is not attached to an appliance, meaning if you get a good PC/server, then you can already run a firewall."
"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."
"Currently, without the additional reporting module, we only have access to basic reporting."
"There are just some services that aren't available. For example, the Ethernet or point-to-point protocols. They could add these services to their product offering - especially services for ISPs."
"The user interface could be improved to make it less confusing and easier to set up."
"There are some complex administration tasks in their administration portal. That needs to be improved."
"It is stable, but its stability can be improved."
"I need user-behavior analytics, to find threat scenarios from inside the organization, insider attacks. That would be very helpful for us. In addition, I would like next-generation features for small and medium businesses. These businesses require UTM, all in one product. Fortinet must include it."
"Fortinet FortiGate needs to improve the protection, it did not prevent us from being attacked. Additionally, Fortinet FortiGate could provide more features for WAF devices. I should not have to purchase two solutions, it would be a benefit to combine these features into one solution."
"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."
"The GUI interface needs improvement."
"VPN access is an area that needs improvement."
"We have some weird errors and some weird behavior on the solution occasionally. The device gets buggy without anyone touching it. It would work and then suddenly stop. Sometimes you need to just move the cards out and restart it again, and it will work. The solution itself, the hardware and the software, there must be some bugs that need to be dealt with."
"I've talked to people that say Juniper now, as a device, can be a solution for a data center, but in the past, I have not seen this as being possible."
"Some people complain that the solution tends to have a steep learning curve. It could be because most people have basic familiarity with Cisco or other similar products and maybe have never worked closely with Juniper products."
"The security feature must be improved."
"The user interface could always be better. They could make it simpler and more intuitive."
"We experienced some technical issues during implementation"
"The hardware can be improved."
"The ability to setup a DDNS for each WAN independently would be a very handy feature."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in the logs. Like with Cisco, I can do almost everything and know almost anything about what's running. Untangle works very much out of the box. It's very user-friendly, but it's not engineer-friendly. So, it's good for a home user. For something fairly easy, but at the same time, with good technology to have at home, because at home, I'm not a millionaire or anything like that. So it's not like I'm worried to get hacked. I didn't want something like a Cisco firewall; it would be a bit overkill to have at home. So that's why I went for Untangle. But it lacks a few features. It's just a tick-box kind of thing. So they have apps and turn on and off the apps. The VPN's configuration is all very ticked. They have a few custom configurations, but it's not that much."
"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."
"The storage is minimal, so we have to set the system to delete data after seven days."
"They don't have any feature that allows you to drop the session."
"Whenever there are a large number of endpoint VPN clients, connectivity becomes slow."
