"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.

"The pricing is not as good as it was some time ago. They've since skipped offering a lot of individual features."
"The management console for partners is a bit tricky (buggy)."
"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."
"The biggest challenge that we have with this solution is local support. The local support is a problem in our area."
"The hardware can be improved."
"The ability to setup a DDNS for each WAN independently would be a very handy feature."
"The storage is minimal, so we have to set the system to delete data after seven days."
