Incentivized Helpful? Bryce Holland IT Director Chose Untangle NG Firewall I could never come close with these two products to the level of functionality and security I have with Untangle.

Verified User Anonymous Chose Untangle NG Firewall Simple GUI interface and can run on your hardware a.k.a. old servers with 2 or more NIC's. Incentivized Helpful? Matthew Ingram Owner Chose Untangle NG Firewall Untangle NG Firewall has a partnership with third parties to provide an amazing suite of applications. You pay for those. With free software, you have to wait for it to be updated. With Unifi, the hardware was too underpowered to do anything meaningful. I don't mind the monthly … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Untangle NG Firewall NG Firewall was much more friendly in terms of layout and ease of use, the apps section is familiar to anyone and the config while in a sort of odd order is very clearly laid out. I also appreciate Untangle's endless educational videos and the support can't be beat. Overall … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Untangle NG Firewall We selected untangle NG due to the flexibility, and the rack based architecture. Period. Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	Untangle NG Firewall
Likelihood to Recommend	Midsized business is where I have used it. Have used it to connect to other Untangle boxes across town and in other countries with NO issues and works with MS Domains across these VPN connections. Probably less appropriate for small home networks or large businesses. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	The firewall is easy to set up and manage. The open VPN while not as feature rich as some other options is rock solid and consistently needs nothing The web filter app is great, it's easy to block broad categories or specific things as well as white list whatever is needed. Support is responsive and accurate. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	The UI could be a little flashier. Getting your license file moved from one firewall to another can be tough at times... but support is great if you need it. Ability to upload reports to a portal versus getting them emailed would be best (some reports can get 100+ Mb depending on all the bells and whistles).

Likelihood to Renew	Service renewal is in Feb 2021. We will be renewing! Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	Generally works well but seeing more and more bugs with the OpenVPN app. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Support Rating	The phone support reps are highly competent and native-English speakers. big plus vs some other vendors with difficult to understand or less knowledgable support engineers. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	I could never come close with these two products to the level of functionality and security I have with Untangle. Simply put, there is absolutely no contest. In addition, the cost of these other solutions was many thousands more than the academic cost for Untangle. Many times have I experienced threats and inappropriate content passing through these other products. All of that was stopped the moment I implemented Untangle, even before I started to customize the settings. Incentivized Bryce Holland IT Director Read full review
Return on Investment	Easy setup and implementation made ROI easy to achieve. An Untangle HA solution is 1/2-1/3 the cost of a comparable Cisco/Checkpoint/Palo Alto solution. non-business internet usage has nearly ground to a halt. SD-WAN integration made it easy to connect branch offices quickly without complicated IPSEC configuration. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
