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."The most valuable feature is the VDOM, which allows the customer to have multiple firewalls in a single campus."
"The UTM feature is quite good. FortiAP is easy to deploy because both Fortigate and FortiAP are under the same brand. Otherwise, you need to do more work on the configuration."
"It does a lot for you for intrusion protection and as an antivirus. The threat management bundle is worth the money. You don't need another company to monitor your web traffic for you. You can do everything yourself on the firewall. You restrict your own black list for people on the firewall. You don't need to pay some other company for another product to do that for you. The firewall can do that for you. So, it's an easy-to-use product for people to be independent. They don't need to rely on other vendors to do what the firewall can do. They can do everything."
"The most valuable feature of FortiGate is FortiView which provides proactive monitoring."
"The management console is pretty simple, so anyone who understands networking can initially deploy the solution."
"It enables our organization to become more productive. Also, it protects our NEtWare from viruses and malware."
"The web tutor and automatic rules by schedule are good features."
"Secure, user-friendly, stable, and scalable network security solution. Installation is straightforward."
"The architecture of the OS in Juniper is very good. It's flexibility, scalability, and the technicality is also good."
"We like the solution’s protocol and its dashboard system."
"The product’s quality and performance are better than other vendors."
"It's much faster to deploy a power source. If you need to deploy a firewall in the cloud of software, it's much easier and much faster than deploying the office firewall in a rush."
"The dashboard, customization, API, and pricing are good."
"There are a few valuable features that offer very good quality on the solution. Especially NetScreen. We used to use NetScreen for the the product line. It was a very mature solution, very robust, easy to configure, easy to manage, etc. It made it easy to do everything."
"The hardware is stable."
"The initial setup was very straightforward. There was no problem. The initial deployment took about one hour."
"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."
"The product helps small and medium enterprises secure their networks from intrusions. It also has features like DNS blocking."
"They have a command center that makes it easy to log into and see all of your appliances nationwide."
"The Untangle firewall is a software firewall, so it runs on generic hardware. We found that was probably the best feature, and it's why we chose it when we started using it three years ago."
"Web Filter is effective, Web Cache offers bandwidth savings, and the VPN setup is easy."
"The product is easy to implement."
"Web filtering is very reliable."
"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."
"They've become quite expensive."
"A couple of things I've seen that need improvement, especially in terms of a hard coding. The driver-level active moment really is out-of-the-box and we have to have contact the customer support and sometimes it is difficult to resolve."
"The support is the main thing that needs to be improved."
"There are some cloud-based features that could be much more flexible than they currently are."
"The room for improvement is about the global delivery time period. Usually I need to wait for almost one month to deliver it overseas. So if you can shorten the deliver time it'd be great."
"The initial setup and configuration are not intuitive and require training."
"There are some tiny bugs that sometimes affect the operations. In the past revision of it, there was a bug. Because of the bug, we had to downgrade the version. It happened only with the last revision."
"We'd like more management across other integrations."
"The GUI really needs a lot of work, and it has got worse with successive version updates."
"VPN access is an area that needs improvement."
"There are too many types of licenses, which can be confusing."
"The biggest downside of Juniper vSRX is its pricing, which may be too high for smaller organizations. While it's a decent solution, the cost may limit its accessibility to smaller customers."
"Fortinet is more user friendly than Juniper. In terms of remote access, I actually prefer using Fortinet. It's much easier to configure."
"It is pretty complex to manage and could be easier."
"They could provide support for cloud deployments."
"The solution could improve its technical support."
"For the web filter, I think they can do better especially on the free model."
"The product needs to have a better support group for its online support, specifically for its help desk."
"The pricing should be reduced because it is expensive."
"The biggest challenge that we have with this solution is local support. The local support is a problem in our area."
"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 product needs to improve its mobile application."
"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. They request for the common center facility to be available and installed on-premises."
"It would be much easier if there was a mobile app."
