Overall Satisfaction with Untangle SD-WAN Router

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Great way to deploy a firewall that's easy to configure with hardware most have available. It's not too hard to configure and setting up is pretty easy. As far as the box experience, it's an amazing experience. It falls along the lines of "Just works" when trying to wall off networks or S2S.

Pros and Cons

Pros

VPN
Works out of the box.
Simple to use.

Cons

GUI is rough.
Setting up intricate routes are a bit confusing.
No HA

Most Important Features

SD WAN
Ease of use.
Can be installed on anything with 2 NICs.

Return on Investment

Low setup Cost.
Cheap scalability.
Fast deployment keeps customers happy with low downtime.

Alternatives Considered

Fortinet FortiGate, Sophos XG Firewall and SonicWall TZ

Deploying untangle compared to the others is almost night and day. Sophos is amazing but is usually slow on the GUI. Sonicwall is like using black magic to bring someone back from the dead. Untangle hits all the marks for coving your customers without hitting them with enterprise-level costs.

Likelihood to Recommend

Awesome for most small businesses that need some better protection past their provider's box. Those usually don't handle anything past being a gateway well. Pricing is another thing. The costs are great as compared to the cost of a box plus support and licensing. Untangle really does have the smaller markets taken care of with exactly what they need. Anything more and you'll be looking at a physical solution.
