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."Unified Threat Management (UTM) features."
"It's very easy to configure."
"The most valuable feature is the VDOM, which allows the customer to have multiple firewalls in a single campus."
"Good anti-malware and web filtering features."
"The most valuable feature is the SSL VPN, as it allows us to connect and it separates this product from other firewalls."
"We are using the FortiGate 100D series. VPN, firewall, anti-malware, OTM, and intrusion prevention are useful features."
"The SD-WAN is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiGate are the ease of use and there are several operating systems that can include the hardware capacities. In the newer releases, the resources were more useful because they were included in the operating system."
"The technical support has been good."
"The technical support services are excellent."
"The product’s quality and performance are better than other vendors."
"Juniper is more flexible with the commit check and the commit confirmed command. The design of the forwarding and contract plan in the operating system is very important for the performance when we have very big traffic."
"We like the solution’s protocol and its dashboard system."
"The dashboard, customization, API, and pricing are good."
"The authentication part is seamless and easy for people."
"The initial setup is pretty simple."
"Web filtering is very reliable."
"None of my clients has had a ransom or breach using Untangle."
"It is very easy to deploy and monitor. "
"The product’s most valuable features are endpoint protection management, load balancing, and connectivity with Active Directory."
"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."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"The most valuable features are IPS, MAPI, NAT, and VPN."
"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."
"We have an issue with hotel guest vouchers."
"I think the only issue that needs improvement is the interface."
"In the future, I would like to see improvements made to cloud-based management."
"The routing capability on the FortiGate devices has room for improvement."
"The non-error conserve mode has room for improvement."
"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."
"In the next release, I would like to see the interface simplified to be more user-friendly."
"Technical support for this solution can be improved."
"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."
"Fortinet is more user friendly than Juniper. In terms of remote access, I actually prefer using Fortinet. It's much easier to configure."
"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."
"They could provide support for cloud deployments."
"The reporting can be improved."
"Right now, we are going through issues and problems where the product gets dropped with the connection or during the authentication initial phase. While it could be our problem, we would like to see more stability in this area."
"Juniper vSRX is expensive."
"The user interface could always be better. They could make it simpler and more intuitive."
"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."
"It would be much easier if there was a mobile app."
"The management console for partners is a bit tricky (buggy)."
"The product needs to have a better support group for its online support, specifically for its help desk."
"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."
"The hardware can be improved."
