The difference between Untangle and SonicWall is, SonicWall has an SSL VPN, where you go to a website versus Untangle that has an application installed on the PC for VPN. They both make it easy to set up regular VPNs. They both make it easy to do site-to-site VPN. The site-to-site VPN is just as easy to set up between SonicWall and Untangle. It is a little easier to navigate through, in my opinion, than it is with SonicWall. I like the general use of the appliances. I like the hardware as a service feature that Untangle has. SonicWall didn't have it at the time that I was using it but they may have it now. I like the licensing model and the pricing model that Untangle has compared to SonicWall. The reason why we stopped using SonicWall is that it is expensive to get a single pane of glass with SonicWall to have the heads-up on issues. Everything is automatically added once you purchase it and it will download the proper configuration for that site. It can all be done through the command center once the firewall connects to it. No technician will ever have to physically touch that firewall. It automatically downloads the configuration offline. When the firewall arrives on-site, you have a smart hands technician to unplug the old one and you plug in the new one. With Zero deployment, you don't have to touch the firewall. The zero deployments are wonderful with this. You can also then do a site-to-site VPN and they make it very simple. If you get on the VPN, then the allow group, you can actually RDP, you make the VPN connection to it. We set up RDP on our clients, but it's Atlanta LAN, the LAN RDP. The VPNs are great too, they are wonderful. It has several useful interesting features included. They also have a cap portal feature that is pretty good. It has wonderful content filtering built into it. For example, you will get alerts on DDoS types of attacks. It will send you alerts when there is any nonsense going on. You can run reports and they are very helpful. They have a command center that makes it easy to log into and see all of your appliances nationwide. The firewall works really well with Voice over IP. We do a lot of Voice over IP, which is one of the features that I like about it.
