If you have worked with any Juniper device, such as a Juniper router, you will be able to work with an SRX, which is really cool. It is a nice experience to work with every device of Juniper, not only firewalls."

"There aren't really any negative aspects to discuss."
"The solution could be more evenly structured."
"If I want to allow access to Facebook, yet not allow the user to access videos, then I am not able to do it with this product."
"Management could be better. They can improve the management. I think all our customers can't accept firewalls that have standalone management. So, they prefer Fortinet or Palo Alto. But overall, inspection and other features are working fine."
"I would like to see more sizing in the next release, and the roadmap should be clear."
"In larger companies with extensive infrastructure, retrieving logs for a longer period of time can sometimes take a bit longer than desired."
"They need to work on stability, it has not been the best in our experience."

"It should be easier to escalate support tickets."
"The Juniper product has to improve in terms of innovation."
