Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Palo Alto Networks, ESET and others in Advanced Threat Protection (ATP)."It catches modified signatures of known viruses."
"We get support in the free version."
"It helps us when segmenting and securing the network and all sort of technologies, all sort of next generation needs. It's next generation phases of firewall like anti-virus, sandboxing, wifi, and VPN."
"For example, if a security Intel threat talks about an IOC. We can then go to our MSP and say, "Is there a signature for this particular type of malware that just came out?" And if they'll say yes, then we'll say, "Okay. Does it apply to these firewalls? And have we seen any hits on it?" There's absolutely value in it."
"I like the analysis they apply to the unknown files, and I think they have good technology to use as a sandboxing tool. I didn't find something similar to WildFire in the marketplace."
"Whole team can use the firewall and understand it."
"Detailed reporting on analysis of content. The inspections are easily applied to security policy profiles and profile groups, and may be assigned on a per-rule basis."
"A good tool for file scanning and email threat detection, especially when it comes to attachments and communications."
"What I like about this product, which is the reason that we continue to use it, is that you can install the software version on your own hardware. In case there is a problem with the hardware, we can just install the firewall in another machine and restore the configuration."
"The product’s most valuable features are endpoint protection management, load balancing, and connectivity with Active Directory."
"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."
"Web Filter is effective, Web Cache offers bandwidth savings, and the VPN setup is easy."
"Web filtering is very reliable."
"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."
"None of my clients has had a ransom or breach using Untangle."
"We find the web filter very valuable."
"When comparing this solution to others it is not as good overall."
"The product fails to offer protection when dealing with high-severity vulnerabilities, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."
"In the future, Palo Alto could reduce the time it takes to process the file."
"The product's false positive logs could be more user-friendly to understand. They could provide examples of precious cases to learn."
"The price could be better."
"There are certain changes that I was expecting in the previous version, and I hope that they are soon fixed. All of the problems that I have faced so far have been resolved."
"There are some formats that the solution cannot support ."
"I would like to see them continue on their developmental roadmap for the product."
"The product should improve reporting."
"It would be much easier if there was a mobile app."
"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."
"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."
"The pricing should be reduced because it is expensive."
"The storage is minimal, so we have to set the system to delete data after seven days."
"For the web filter, I think they can do better especially on the free model."
