We performed a comparison between Juniper vSRX and Zyxel Unified Security Gateway based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Unified Threat Management (UTM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The product is easy to use and is stable. The SV1 functionality is a benefit."
"Our project needs to link two sides through the internet. One of these was in Cairo and the other in another city. We used FortiGate as the integrating solution between the two locations, i.e. the Fortinet 30E & 100E."
"The flexibility and ease of configuration are the most valuable features."
"FortiGate firewalls are easy to manage through a user-friendly web interface. They also have advanced features like DDoS and DLP. However, I wouldn't recommend enabling all of these features on one device because it can cause performance issues."
"Our security improved from being able to put in rules and close off unwanted traffic."
"The most useful functionality of Fortinet FortiGate is the user interface, multiple engines, and their cloud with the latest integrations. Additionally, the Security Fabric tool is very good."
"The inspection and web security features are most valuable."
"We've found the solution to be pretty stable."
"The features we found most valuable are using the IDS and IPS during protection. The application filtering feature is great."
"The most valuable features are application filtering, content filtering, the intrusion prevention system (IPS), and definitely the application firewall."
"I'm told the solution is the fastest, and, so far, I do find that to be the case."
"The hardware is stable."
"It's basic functionality is probably the most valuable feature."
"We like the solution’s protocol and its dashboard system."
"The dashboard, customization, API, and pricing are good."
"The initial setup was very straightforward. There was no problem. The initial deployment took about one hour."
"The solution can scale well."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from web filtering, malware protection, and antivirus."
"This is a capable appliance and the standard features work well for us."
"The biggest "gotcha" is that if the client purchases what they call the UTM shared bundle, which has unified threat management on both, it's not as easy to manage if you have more than one firewall."
"The support costs and licensing are sometimes so expensive."
"FortiGate support could do some improvements on their IPv6 configuration. Right now it's still in the very early stage for utilizing in an enterprise level network environment."
"The Web-filter in this solution is not very good."
"There are some problems that support cannot give you a logical reason as to why it happened. For example, I had a case where I was dealing with a WhatsApp application that was giving issues. Technical support gave more than one reason it could be giving issues, but none of them solved the problem. Eventually I solved the problem, but it was far from the solutions that support had given."
"One area for improvement is the performance on the bandwidth demands for smaller devices, as well as better web filtering."
"The Wi-Fi controller needs a lot of improvement."
"I would suggest that Fortinet add sandboxing to their solution."
"he stability could be improved."
"The GUI interface needs improvement."
"There are too many types of licenses, which can be confusing."
"They could provide support for cloud deployments."
"We have some weird errors and some weird behavior on the solution occasionally. The device gets buggy without anyone touching it. It would work and then suddenly stop. Sometimes you need to just move the cards out and restart it again, and it will work. The solution itself, the hardware and the software, there must be some bugs that need to be dealt with."
"The security feature must be improved."
"VPN access is an area that needs improvement."
"The reporting can be improved."
"Although manageable, the user interface is a little bit slow and could be improved."
"Sometimes it reboots when you least expect it, and that's the main issue."
"The product has some scalability and data management issues where improvements are required."
