This is the most common question being asked by channel partners and end customers to our sales team and hence we thought to answer and present the clear picture of WiJungle appliance here.

To start with lets understand the fundamental difference first –

There are two different class of products in this segment which are currently available in market.
A) A Security appliance like Next Gen Firewall (NGFW) or Unified Threat Management (UTM).
Products falling under are Cyberoam, Sophos, Fortinet, Checkpoint, Dell Sonicwall, Watchguard, Palo Alto etc.
Major market segment: Enterprises, Education Institutes, Data Centers, Healthcare etc.

B) A Gateway appliance just to particularly manage a Wired or Wireless network with business needs uncompromisingly.
Products covered are 24Online, Unibox, Zyxel and many other numerous players.
Major market segment: Hospitality, Transportation, Retail etc.

Now the question arises, in which class does WiJungle lies?
The simple answer to it is BOTH.

WiJungle is the only Advanced appliance in the current time that serves the purpose of UTM/NGFW and Hotspot Gateway. It suffices and caters the need of every business vertical uncompromisingly.
This way WiJungle has eliminated the need to deploy two different devices in a premise.

Lets now take a look of the product from other perspectives.
