Untangle in San Jose, California offers NG Firewall, a firewall platform with network performance monitoring and web content filtering features.https://dudodiprj2sv7.cloudfront.net/product-logos/1G/OL/1ZTB7ZMOO181.pngUntangleUntangle NG is an awesome pick2018-11-05T21:24:51.602ZI use Untangle mostly for homes, and schools and enterprises where internet filtering is required. Untangle does a fantastic job of integrating with AD and creating user/group based policies, traffic rate-limiting/squashing; permitting pertinent social media, but blocking things like Facebook games that add no value to a day to day business environment. The newly created integration of SD-WAN functionality makes connecting your remote offices a breeze (which I've done with a company that manages 10 different apartment complexes in 3 states).,Web Filtering is strong, and can also do application fingerprinting to allow Facebook, but not Facebook games. Secondly, a separate partition called a "rack" can be set up to give one subnet or group of users different web filtering policies than another. For example, teachers would get more freedom to browse the web than students at a school.
Built-in SD-WAN connectivity as part of your license. IPSEC tunnel creation is also amazingly easy.
Will install on any x86 hardware created in the last 5-10 years. Ram and processor requirements per user are very low.
Reporting is phenomenal, however you can get death by details very easily.,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).,9,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.,pfSense,Palo Alto Networks Virtualized Next-Generation Firewalls - VM Series, Cisco ASA, Check Point 4000 AppliancesVerified UserGreat product, flexible and intuitive2017-04-12T20:29:49.315ZI use Untangle NG Firewall at our main facility, our offsite clinic locations and I installed one for a private clinic. We use it mainly for web filtration but we also utilize the antivirus, intrusion detection, ad blocking etc. Untangle protects our whole organization. Untangle has almost completely stopped malware infections and prevents bandwidth from being wasted on non-business related activities. We have policies configured so that some users are directed through specific racks that are not as restrictive as the default rack. It just works and does not impact the business processes of the organization.,Web filtration works well and is very easy to manage. The interface is intuitive and makes dealing with end user issues quick and easy to resolve.
Bandwidth control is a nice feature that quickly lets you determine where the offending bandwidth consumer is.
The reporting feature is rich and the emailed reports help you determine any potential problems that may need to be addressed.,Probably the documentation, the online tutorials could be a little more up to date and clearer.,9,The positive is the savings in time the IT department has recouped by not having to continuously clean and maintain end point computers. Not to mention helping end user use their time more wisely by not wasting time on non-work related web activities.
The only negative is complaints from end users about the restrictions.,Barracuda Web FilterKen ThomasUntangle NG Firewall Review2017-03-28T21:00:49.209ZWe use Untangle NG Firewall to protect our network from viruses, spam, phishing, and advertisements.

Spam has been blocked and quarantined from hitting our users' inboxes, drastically reducing the time it takes to sort through daily email.,SonicWall Web Content Filtering Services,Microsoft ExchangeGary Lamontagne
