Provides virus protection but needs improvement in the area of policy implementation
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
I did not find the product's features to be the most valuable since I feel that its most beneficial point stems from its cheap price range, which satisfied our company's goals in areas like VPN connectivity, virus protection, and cybersecurity.
What needs improvement?
The product has a lot to improve in the area of policy implementation. If our company wants to give a separate policy to a particular client, user or system, it is very difficult to manage it. There is no categorization in the web filter option. If you want to search for a particular content to be blocked in the web filter, the search option is not there. You have to manually choose the option in the tool and then check it.

What other advice do I have?
It is a great tool, but we had to do a lot of research. We must understand it to implement it. We had to do a lot of work for two months to understand the firewall. We took another three weeks to implement the rules. It took us a lot of time. Overall, I rate the tool a seven out of ten.

Great teaching tool!
What do you like best about the product?
We use these as a teaching tool in the CIST department, using either VMware or Hyper-V. The students learn how to create and maintain VLANs using untangled routers, how to use domain controllers in that network, and, how to use tools such as Active Directory to enhanse the network; receiving hands-on learning in a large business' networking needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is not much to dislike. The students all have trouble at the beginning just using the software, but most catch on quickly.
