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.

We don't have any problems with scalability. However, the problem is with the device itself. They could increase the space unless it's usually not allowing you to store a lot of data for a lot of purposes. So, if they can increase the space, you don't need to buy a very high-end CPU. But what people need most is a way of starting the logs so that they can do better analytics. It is a weakness they can improve on— increase the storage capacity. Small to medium-sized companies can use it.

Content filtering is really easy to use. We have rules for content filtering. One of the rules that we have is that if it is not an SSL site, it should block the site. It scans, and if it finds a bad site, it is not going to allow it. We can also block based on what the company wants us to block. If the company wants us to block porn, we'll block porn. If the company wants to block social media, we're going to block social media. It is very easy to deploy. They offer zero deployment, and it is very easy to create VLANs and set up bypass rules. It is also very easy to install the certificates on each machine for SSL inspection. One of the features that I like overall on their firewall is that they've got free cloud management that comes with your subscription. It is an all-around reliable firewall, and I really like it a lot.

Key learnings from peers

Valuable Features

"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."
"Application filter features are the most valuable for us."
"Content filtering is really easy to use. We have rules for content filtering. One of the rules that we have is that if it is not an SSL site, it should block the site. It scans, and if it finds a bad site, it is not going to allow it. We can also block based on what the company wants us to block. If the company wants us to block porn, we'll block porn. If the company wants to block social media, we're going to block social media."

Room for Improvement

"Reporting functionality could be improved to provide more comprehensive insights."
"There is room for improvement in blocking torrents."
"The only thing that they need to improve is that they drop sessions. Currently, if you see a session come in, such as a DHCP session or a VPN session, you don't have the ability to click on that session, hit drop, and have them re-negotiate. It would be a really nice feature, and they are working on it. This is the only feature that is missing."

Pricing

"I use the free version of Untangle."
"Everything is included on the firewall at one price point, and we sell it for $70 a month, which includes the hardware."
