Untangle Application Control Reviews

The main use case is to control user access to specific applications and limit access to websites like Facebook. It also helps in managing productivity-related activities.

Basically, it helps me contain and control user activities.

The fact that I can limit access to certain apps is the most valuable feature for me. For example, I can restrict access to specific websites or certain functions within websites.

That's the main feature I find valuable. It helps me control and manage user access effectively.

Maybe the reporting could be improved to provide more useful insights.

In future releases, better reporting would be helpful. For me, that's normally an area that could be enhanced.

I've been using it for about two or three years. I have around 15 or 16 instances of Untangle deployed, so they are set up to update to the latest version.

I am currently using the open-source version.

It has been stable for me. I haven't had any complaints.

I'm not sure about its scalability since most of my deployments are for small to medium-sized companies. I haven't faced any scalability issues so far. It runs smoothly. I don't use dedicated appliances; instead, I have it running on existing PCs. And it works fine. I haven't experienced any throughput issues or similar problems.

I have around five or six different clients using Untangle Application Control.

The initial setup was actually easy. You just need to figure out how it works. I didn't need any manual for it. Moreover, there is a community that has been helpful whenever I needed assistance.

I use the free version of Untangle as it is because I use the VPN feature. It's easy, quick, and helps with network protection.

There are no hidden fees. I make it clear upfront what features you get with the free version and what you get with the paid version.

I used to use IPCOP and Softwall and other things. One day, I spoke to a guy who recommended Untangle, and I tried it and liked it.

First, you need to determine what you want to achieve with it. It also depends on your expertise in the field. If you are already using something like Fortinet, FortiGate, or Sophos, I won't tell you to abandon that and switch to Untangle. They all have their ups and downs, and they are all good options depending on your specific needs.

I would rate it around eight. It's easy to understand and once you get used to it, it works well.
