We performed a comparison between Azure Firewall and Juniper vSRX based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Firewalls solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."FortiGate is very simple to manage and easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is the FortiManager for centralized management."
"The feature I like most is the SD-WAN. It allows you to manage more than one ISP at the same time. And there is a high-availability mode, so if one of your ISPs is down, you still have a backup."
"The web tutor and automatic rules by schedule are good features."
"It has very easy management and an amazing ETM configuration."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiGate is load balancing. It can provide central management and VPNA. Additionally, it has enhanced our security environment."
"Customers are more inclined towards FortiGate because of application control, web filtering, and anti-spam features. The support from the FortiGate team is good, and price-wise, it is affordable."
"Offers good security and filtering."
"Network filtering is valuable. The scalability capability from the cloud-native service helps us a lot because it simplifies our day-to-day maintenance activity."
"All its features are good. That's why we recommend it."
"Azure Firewall's feature that I have found most valuable is its scalability."
"We secure the entry point to the virtual data center with the firewall."
"The firewall policy control, URL content control, and antivirus are all the most valuable aspects. Threat prevention is as well quite good."
"One of the best features is that it natively integrates with Azure Services and tools. When you have a third-party offering, that is not the case. But Azure Firewall provides a comprehensive and seamless security solution for your Azure resources."
"Among the most valuable features are the DDoS protection that protects your virtual machines, the threat intelligence, and traffic filtering."
"The solution can autoscale."
"The hardware is stable."
"The product’s quality and performance are better than other vendors."
"We like the solution’s protocol and its dashboard system."
"It's much faster to deploy a power source. If you need to deploy a firewall in the cloud of software, it's much easier and much faster than deploying the office firewall in a rush."
"It's a very powerful solution and the firewalls offer high performance"
"It's basic functionality is probably the most valuable feature."
"There are a few valuable features that offer very good quality on the solution. Especially NetScreen. We used to use NetScreen for the the product line. It was a very mature solution, very robust, easy to configure, easy to manage, etc. It made it easy to do everything."
"The command feature is valuable."
"MTBF: Hardware failure is more common when compared to SonicWall or Cisco ASA."
"A couple of things I've seen that need improvement, especially in terms of a hard coding. The driver-level active moment really is out-of-the-box and we have to have contact the customer support and sometimes it is difficult to resolve."
"Performance and technical support are the main issues with this solution."
"To the best of my knowledge, Fortinet does not have a CASB solution and Fortinet does not have a Zero trust solution."
"In some cases, its initial setup could be hard for customers."
"There could be more integration between the logging and analytical platforms to make it more seamless and integrated."
"The solution lacks sufficient filtering."
"They should offer special pricing to premium partners and customers."
"The tool needs to improve the onboarding and transition process for on-prem users."
"There are a number of things that need to be simplified, but it's mostly costs. It needs to be simplified because it's pretty expensive."
"It is a cloud service, but the lending speed for each region is not always the same. For example, in China, the speed is slow. They need to think about how to make sure that the service pace or speed is always the same in all regions. It would be a great improvement if they can provide the same pace worldwide."
"It's a little heavy compared to a FortiGate or other firewalls."
"The threat intelligence aspect of this particular firewall is not at par with other providers."
"The threat intelligence part could be better. I don't see why our customers have to get an additional solution with Azure Firewall. It would be great if they made it on par with Palo Alto."
"Azure has new versions including a premium firewall. But I would like to see them not put the premium features on Azure Firewall Premium alone because it is quite expensive."
"The solution lacks artificial intelligence and machine learning. It might be in the roadmap. However, currently, it's not available."
"The user interface could always be better. They could make it simpler and more intuitive."
"We worked with Cisco's support and Juniper's support and there are some differences, to be honest, Cisco is more available and is more competent at addressing our cases."
"Juniper vSRX is expensive."
"The pricing still needs some improvement."
"The tool's basic license does not cover everything. It needs to improve visibility and availability."
"The solution should consider improving its licensing policies."
"It is pretty complex to manage and could be easier."
"I would like to see an activity sensor for malicious content or sensor for viruses and malware."
