Arista NG Firewall Demo - NG Firewall Dashboard

The Dashboard provides an overview of the state of your network at a glance. It is extremely useful for quickly viewing what is happening on the network and getting the current status of the NG Firewall server at a glance.

By default, the Dashboard will display several widgets showing different information. However, the Dashboard is completely customizable. Widgets can be removed and added so the administrator sees exactly the information that is important to them.

The Reports navigation makes it easy to find the information you need. View individual reports and navigate through the Reports app on a tablet or phone.

GUI Interface and the ease of configuration. It is easy to adapt to numerous hardware devices. The apps add another dimension to security and the ability to see what is happening. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Arista NG Firewall?

Being in an environment that has mobile users bringing their own devices and using public wifi the pay per device model is difficult to stomach. Over 150 of our licenses are just user's cell phones. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to Use and Comprehensive Firewall Solution & More"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Arista NG Firewall?

Untangle NG Firewall is easy to deploy and use. You can expand functionality by purchasing plugins for only what you want. Licensing is simple as it is per device for all services. You can bypass devices to save licenses (for example: for IoT devices or printers bypassing Content Filtering). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Arista NG Firewall?

Content Filtering can be problematic when a website is flagged to multiple categories or when categories include diverse or uncategorized content, as you'll encounter blocked pages or false-positive alerts. Since licensing is done per device, you must have enough for the maximum number of clients you could have connected, so content filtering guest Wi-Fi, for example, could require a large investment.

"Easy and Simple to use"

5/5

What do you like best about Arista NG Firewall?

Untangle is simple to use with nice dashboards that display a lot of information and reports. We recently switched to a paid version and prior to that, even when we didn't have a support plan the support team still helped us out as much as they could. All of their apps are really useful that allows you to filter sites, and whitelist sites easily or a WAN balancer with alerts whenever one of them goes down.

What do you dislike about Arista NG Firewall?

I don't have anything I dislike about Untangle, we haven't had a bad experience yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Arista NG Firewall solving and how is that benefiting you?

One day, one of nowhere we started getting a bunch of email alert from our Antivirus that it prevented an intrusion and we took a look and couldn't find anything wrong on the device. It kept on continuing and it turns out that the user was accessing a grocery store website that had malware on it and so we used the web filter to block those kinds of site.
