We performed a comparison between Juniper SRX Series 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."It's user-friendly and easy to operate."
"The IPsec tunnels are very easily created, and quite interoperable with devices from other vendors."
"Fortinet FortiGate is a scalable solution."
"It's very good and very stable for businesses. It works very well."
"The features that I have found most valuable are that it is good to use, and most importantly, the pricing. The customer especially likes the discount when they trade up or something like that."
"UTM/NGFW features and FortiCloud for logs and backups are awesome."
"The CLI is robust and powerful, enabling rapid, consistent changes via SSH."
"The most important feature, normally for small business customers, is link load balancing."
"It protects from distributed denial-of-service attacks with Screen Options."
"It is very fast and very easy to maintain. Another nice part of it is that you can easily extract the logs and move them over to a security operations center."
"Juniper SRX Series Firewall is a stable solution."
"The most valuable feature is the virtualization because it can be used for customers who are using the mobile data network to request a private connection to a remote site."
"The virtualization feature is the most valuable feature. Sometimes customers are requesting a private connection using mobile data when they are connecting to remote sites."
"You can scale the solution."
"Troubleshooting with the solution is quite easy. If you compare the process to, for example, Fortigate, Juniper is much easier."
"Security policies in combination with zones: It is very easy to organize the security polices in a logical structure."
"Juniper is more flexible with the commit check and the commit confirmed command. The design of the forwarding and contract plan in the operating system is very important for the performance when we have very big traffic."
"It is deployed on the customer site, and we manage the firewalls on this side."
"The tool's most valuable features are routing features and service quality."
"The command feature is valuable."
"The hardware is stable."
"The features we found most valuable are using the IDS and IPS during protection. The application filtering feature is great."
"The technical support services are excellent."
"It is easy for me to go in and update settings, make changes, or add/remove rules or security."
"It should have a better pricing plan. It is too expensive. It should also have a more granular view of the attack. I don't have FortiAnalyzer, and it is difficult for me to have a complete view when there is an attack on my server."
"One of the features that I would like to have is to do with endpoint production, it should be integrated. For example, the firewall gets notified of any kind of forensic event that needs to be done, such as if there is a ransomware attack and how it originated, all those records have to be available from the firewall, which is not."
"Some of the features in the graphical user interface do not work, which requires that we used the command-line-interface."
"I would prefer to have more detailed logs within the FortiGate products themselves rather than relying on a separate tool."
"It should be more stable. There should be full integration within Fortinet products themselves as well as with other third-party products. Especially when you're not dealing with SIEM and the correlation of the security box, we want Fortinet to be able to share that information with as many other products as it can."
"We had some issues in the beginning while setting it up, but after doing the firmware update, it is working fine."
"The captive portal could be improved."
"The logging details need to be improved."
"The setup process should be improved."
"J-Web, Juniper Web, is sometimes not working great when users are increasing their internet use. Additionally, they need to improve the GUI, graphical user interface, and the firewall management needs to improve. Their CLI is good, but sometimes the GUI is very slow."
"The training videos that are available need to be improved, and made more educative."
"The CPU switch could be improved for a better overall performance of traffic flow."
"The user interface and the GUI need improvement."
"The Juniper product has to improve in terms of innovation."
"The configuration is difficult and it should be easier."
"There are a lot of features that customers do not know about and I think that better documentation would help when it comes to learning how to use the product."
"The user interface could always be better. They could make it simpler and more intuitive."
"There are too many types of licenses, which can be confusing."
"The reporting can be improved."
"The solution should consider improving its licensing policies."
"I've talked to people that say Juniper now, as a device, can be a solution for a data center, but in the past, I have not seen this as being possible."
"The pricing still needs some improvement."
"The GUI interface needs improvement."
"he stability could be improved."
