We performed a comparison between Palo Alto Networks NG Firewalls 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."UTM/NGFW features and FortiCloud for logs and backups are awesome."
"You can create multiple Virtual Domains (VDOMs), which are treated as separate firewall instances."
"The threat prevention is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"The SD-WAN function is very developed. It has SD-WAN functionality with security features in one device. We can manage from one single console SD-WAN and the security policy."
"Our project needs to link two sides through the internet. One of these was in Cairo and the other in another city. We used FortiGate as the integrating solution between the two locations, i.e. the Fortinet 30E & 100E."
"In terms of security, we have not experienced any security flaws or loopholes, and it has proven to be quite stable."
"It can expand easily."
"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."
"Palo Alto Networks NG Firewalls saves us time."
"They are regularly releasing new versions that include more integration with third-party services."
"It has the typical features of a next-generation firewall. It can do application control, antivirus, content filtering, etc."
"Palo Alto Networks NG Firewalls enable efficient application search, viewing, and configuration access across various services for different user groups within our company."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to deeply analyze the connection or connection type."
"It is an extremely powerful solution as it provides visibility into all the network traffic, and offers a range of actions such as blocking websites or graphics, as well as load balancing. It's a great tool."
"There are many valuable features, such as wireless cloud features."
"The initial setup was very easy."
"Easy to set up and easy to integrate."
"The product’s most valuable features are endpoint protection management, load balancing, and connectivity with Active Directory."
"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."
"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."
"None of my clients has had a ransom or breach using Untangle."
"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."
"Fortinet FortiGate needs to improve the logging and reporting. Additionally, the next-generation application's policies should be improved. When they were released they had bugs."
"One area for improvement is the performance on the bandwidth demands for smaller devices, as well as better web filtering."
"There were quite a few problems with the stability of the system."
"We had a minor problem where there was a major system upgrade on the hardware platfrom and the Mac client was not available as soon as it might have been. The PC client was available immediately, but we had to wait a month or so, before there was a mac client. I was slightly irritated that it was not ready on time, but it was eventually resolved."
"We were not able to build a full-mesh VPN; however, I am not sure if this was the fault of Fortinet FortiGate."
"We would like to see better pricing."
"The scalability could be better."
"Fortinet needs to overhaul its documentation."
"When it comes to their support, we have to select every single component that we want to include in a particular bundle. That is a very tedious process. T"
"Palo Alto needs to provide more support during the design phase and with proposals. They need to be more proactive, try to anticipate issues, and then help us to implement the transformation quickly."
"Surfacing actionable intelligence right away could be better. You have to dig far to get some of the information. If the solution could surface the two or three things out of the 10,000 a day that we really need to deal with, it would be helpful."
"I would like more reporting and metrics in the solution."
"The scalability of the firewalls could be improved."
"Technical support can be faster at responding."
"With new features and applications you get bugs."
"Its scalability for on-prem deployments can be better. For an on-prem deployment, the hardware has to be replaced if the volume goes up to a certain level."
"The pricing should be reduced because it is expensive."
"We have a minor issue when assigning IP addresses in the ARP tables. You should be able to go into the ARP tables, look at the IP address and say, "Nope, they need to be on this side on this IP address." The ability to set a DHP reservation from the ARP tables would be great. It's no big deal, but it would be nice to have."
"The pricing is not as good as it was some time ago. They've since skipped offering a lot of individual features."
"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."
"Web-filtering policies could be improved."
"The storage is minimal, so we have to set the system to delete data after seven days."
"On their low-end appliance, they could have more memory and the largest storage space. The low-end appliance comes with a too-small hard drive, and it could use a little extra room. It only comes with about 4 gigs or 8 gigs of memory, and the hardware space is only 40 gigs, which is really small."
"It would be much easier if there was a mobile app."
