I downloaded and installed Untangle a couple of weeks ago.  My intention 
was to see if it was any better than the Endian Firewall (now called 
Endian Unified Threat Managment Device).  Feature for feature, I don't 
see any advantage - that is to say that they are both very 
feature-rich.  Untangle has a slicker UI and the policy manger is a neat 
feature but at $250/month I need to pass.  Endian hasn't released any 
new versions lately and 2.3 has been a release candidate for quite a 
while. 

So I guess if I were choosing one having never used either, I'd probably 
choose Untangle but being familiar with Endian (www.endian.com), I don't 
feel it advantageous to switch.
