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."The multi-tenancy feature is most valuable. It integrates very well with FortiManager and FortiAnalyzer."
"The most valuable features are the policies, filtering, and configuration."
"Fortinet FortiGate is scalable for our users. Right now, we have almost 70 users. We do not have any plan to increase our usage of FortiGate. For maintaining the firewall solution, one staff member is enough."
"Fortinet FortiGate's most valuable features are ease of use, flexibility, and most of the configuration we can be done using the GUI. When we compare Fortinet FortiGate with other solutions the firewall policy are very easy to understand."
"The product is easy to use and is stable. The SV1 functionality is a benefit."
"We are a visual effects company, and there have been a number of high profile security issues in our industry. This has brought us to a higher standard of security, which our clients are very keen on these days."
"The customization potential is quite impressive."
"The most valuable features are simplicity, management, and that it's constantly evolving."
"I have used technical support quite a bit, and they are really good."
"It is a part of the infrastructure when we're selling Juniper. That's what clients are familiar with and that's what they rely on."
"It integrates well with Fortinet and Palo Alto."
"The product provides good performance and has features comparable to other leading products in the market."
"The solution's stability is very good."
"The features that I have found valuable are the ones for the main purpose we are using Juniper - its firewall to protect our network for our internet access."
"The solution is relatively easy and inexpensive to maintain."
"I like the routing and firewall features."
"NG Firewalls allow us to permit or deny applications we don't want to run. We also use content filtering, SSL inspection, and all the other things we run on the firewall to keep our clients protected and ensure they're not going where they shouldn't. It's a great firewall that works as intended."
"We find the web filter very valuable."
"The web blocking for my clients and the application control are valuable."
"Web Filter is effective, Web Cache offers bandwidth savings, and the VPN setup is easy."
"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."
"Easy to set up and easy to integrate."
"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."
"Application Control and filtering features are valuable."
"The scalability could be better."
"Its price could be better."
"Some features of Fortinet FortiGate are actually fee enabled that are inconvenient for deploying in production. Other issues relate to isolation with Cisco products and your server."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve if it had a cloud-managed solution."
"The ease of use could be improved."
"The support is the main thing that needs to be improved."
"Fortinet doesn't provide multiple virtual firewalls which would facilitate end users and customers."
"FortiOS is not simple."
"I would like to see endpoint control and endpoint testing security."
"It must be 5G ready. The 5G network is rolling out soon in India, and Juniper must upgrade their firewall slot to the 5G network, or they must manufacture a 5G dongle card for the Juniper firewall. I want Juniper to upgrade their dongle from 4G to 5G. Presently, they have an expansion slot in the SRX 322 series and higher firewalls. In that expansion slot, they can put a 4G mobility SIM card so that whenever our primary link is down, it will automatically connect through this GSM network and form a tunnel."
"It should be easier to escalate support tickets."
"Both the web management and the graphical user interface are inadequate and should be improved."
"I think improvement can be done to the security part, particularly the UDM, and the product should have a user-friendly interface similar to FortiGate. It should have the Azure RBAC in the next release."
"The big thing is performance. With all the features turned on it slows down."
"Improvements can be made to the GUI. The GUI can be improved by creating policies to handle IPS requirements. The configuration should be a one-step process. This would make it easier to complete the setup to register the time of operation."
"Ongoing costs are something that we need to manage and make sure that we're getting value on."
"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 web content filtering needs improvement."
"The product must improve its reporting features."
"The ability to setup a DDNS for each WAN independently would be a very handy feature."
"The pricing is not as good as it was some time ago. They've since skipped offering a lot of individual features."
"The pricing should be reduced because it is expensive."
"Whenever there are a large number of endpoint VPN clients, connectivity becomes slow."
"The hardware can be improved."
