We performed a comparison between Juniper SRX Series Firewall and Zscaler Internet Access 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."The main reason why I purchased the particular unit was that it had good reviews and what other people were saying as far as its completeness and its leading capabilities in terms of endpoint security was very good."
"We can use our devices to check all of the perimeters. It secures email websites."
"Its user interface is good, and it is always working fine."
"The most valuable features are the enterprise modeling and the simple interface."
"I'm pretty happy with its reliability. It is also very scalable."
"The solution has very good threat and content filtering switches."
"The license management is very valuable. You can get a new license each year, or you can enroll every two to four years. You can get the logs, and you will get the information on the risk in your network and the entire organization. With this information, you can take action on your actives, computers, or devices. You can bring your own device as an SSE."
"The payment function for applications is good."
"User-friendly solution with security bundle and USB blocking features"
"You can scale the solution."
"The solution is stable, inexpensive, and works well for medium size companies."
"Technical support has been quite helpful."
"It uses many applications, like antivirus blocking and web filtering."
"Juniper SRX is a very powerful firewall and sometimes can be used as a router."
"vSRX is easy to deploy to any virtual infrastructure, such as OpenStack, VMware, and even Docker (cSRX)."
"Technical support is perfect."
"The best thing about Zscaler Internet Access is the website filtering. In the UAE it's quite an important feature because most of the malware comes through the SQL injection and through downloads from websites. Zscaler helps protect against that."
"Zscaler covers all the features needed to replace a VPN or proxy solution. They are good. They've been on the market for 15 years now, so they are mature enough."
"The most valuable feature is bandwidth control."
"Overall, we're very happy with our product."
"Zscaler Internet Access has helped us reduce the time that we spend managing security policies by about four hours a week. We can use this time to focus on other things, especially the IT team."
"Zscaler Web Security protects our users in remote locations from internet threats - even if they are not connected to our network."
"We enjoy all of the proxy capabilities and the capability to integrate into the SIEM/SOC solution."
"I like the granularity of the control of all the traffic, including SSL inspection. I also like the fact that the user interface is intuitive. The latencies with Zscaler are minimal compared to those of any other competitor. Other competitors do not really have the global scale that Zscaler has and cannot promise low latencies."
"They sometimes hide some features and if you want to enable them, you have to go in the CLI, enable the feature and configure it through the CLI. Customers, typically, like everything to be done by the GUI."
"We would like to have the ability to disable some of the security functionalities."
"It could use better throughput on some of the smaller boxes for the branch offices."
"I would like reporting to be improved and should offer a lot more tools to monitor the products."
"The performance could be a bit better. Right now, I find it to be lacking. Having good performance is very important for our work."
"There is one big configuration file with no separations for the unique VDOMs. Maybe they could separate individual VDOM configuration files with the root VDOM configuration file referencing the individual VDOM config files."
"The routing capability on the FortiGate devices has room for improvement."
"It would be nice if FortiGate incorporated some built-in endpoint protection features. I would also like a built-in SOC dashboard for managing multiple Fortinet firewalls."
"It should be easier to escalate support tickets."
"Juniper needs to focus more on their perimeter firewalls."
"The training videos that are available need to be improved, and made more educative."
"I've noticed that the management interface could use some updates and upgrades."
"The pricing strategy of the vendor could improve."
"The solution isn't very granular or detailed."
"The range of devices should be expanded to include those suitable for a small implementation. Juniper does not have any lower-priced SRX models, useful perhaps for a single ATM or a single bank branch."
"The Juniper SRX product needs to improve in terms of innovation."
"One thing that needs to be improved is their presence in China. I'm not sure if that's a Zscaler thing or if it's a problem with all vendors in this space, but it would be nice to have better coverage in China. This concern is a common one for vendors across the board when dealing with the Chinese market."
"Do not expect to pay for the service and start using it, like Gmail. Zscaler requires a proper implementation to be done to make it successful."
"The main issue with Zscaler Internet Access is proxy IP detection, which sometimes makes sites inaccessible."
"Cloud App’s database should be improved."
"We'd like to have more plugins and integration."
"Zscaler should continue to make the user interface better. They should also improve the backup network and continue to expand it so that it can handle larger numbers of customers."
"Sometimes, support isn't available."
"There are a few features that are not compatible with the Azure cloud."
