We performed a comparison between Juniper vSRX and Palo Alto Networks NG Firewalls 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."Some of the valuable features are the firewall, IPS, web filter, and gateway capabilities. Additionally, it is easy to use and flexible."
"Fortinet offers the latest versions to cater to the needs of enterprises."
"Easy to use support and licensing portal as well as activation process."
"The features that prevent internet connections, the filtering are the most valuable because we did not have any internet protection before."
"The features that we have found most valuable are the SSL VPN and the User Portal."
"We were looking for the VPN feature and controlling the inflow and outflow of all the traffic within the site and across the sites. We are also using it for the VPN and VLANs."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiGate are the APIs. They are the most widely known."
"We can use our devices to check all of the perimeters. It secures email websites."
"The architecture of the OS in Juniper is very good. It's flexibility, scalability, and the technicality is also good."
"The solution has good features."
"The most valuable features are application filtering, content filtering, the intrusion prevention system (IPS), and definitely the application firewall."
"It is deployed on the customer site, and we manage the firewalls on this side."
"This solution works well. Their switches and firewall are good."
"I'm told the solution is the fastest, and, so far, I do find that to be the case."
"The command feature is valuable."
"It's basic functionality is probably the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature is the security provided by the ATP."
"This is arguably the best security protection that you can buy."
"The most important thing is that it's really user-friendly. I have almost stopped using the CLI because I like the graphical interface. You can do whatever you want on a single screen, including all the configuration and implementation, using Panorama. You don't have to switch from one place to another."
"You can easily integrate it with Active Directory, and you can use the GlobalProtect VPN for internal and external purposes. The URL Filtering is also clear and the application filtering is a plus. The application filtering is much better when you compare it to FortiGate or other firewall vendors."
"I like that they are more stable than the previous ones, and they allow a lot of other features."
"The most significant benefit is threat protection. Anti-malware uses signatures, so dynamic analyzers like WildFire are the best way to protect the company. It is a firewall based on application control, user ID, and security policy. We can use it based on user and application ID without a stateless firewall or TCPIP ports."
"I found Palo Alto NG firewalls more intuitive compared to other products. I value the capability to identify a cloud solution."
"Palo Alto Networks NG Firewalls' IPS is more complete and is very good. This is a user-friendly solution that is easy to install, and it provides the best protection."
"The inability to scale the FortiAnalyzer to match our growth necessitates the purchase of new hardware."
"Backup can be improved."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve by adding FortiAnalyzer to its solution, we should not have to use another solution. FortiAnalyzer can provide more detailed information."
"The UI could be improved."
"The solution could have licensing fees reduced in the future."
"The user interface could be improved to make it less confusing and easier to set up."
"The price of FortiGate should be reduced because there are some other leading products that are cheaper."
"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."
"The solution should consider improving its licensing policies."
"he stability could be improved."
"The security feature must be improved."
"VPN access is an area that needs improvement."
"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."
"They really need to improve the GUI."
"Juniper vSRX is expensive."
"The pricing still needs some improvement."
"In the cloud, the HA could be a lot better. Its price could also be better. It is very expensive."
"The machine learning in Palo Alto NG Firewalls for securing networks against threats that are able to evolve and morph rapidly is good, in general. But there have been some cases where we get false positives and Palo Alto has denied traffic when there have been new updates and signature releases. Valid traffic gets blocked. We have had some bad experiences with this. If there were an ability, before it denies traffic, to get some kind of notification that some traffic is going to be blocked, that would be good."
"Palo Alto's various products need better integration to ensure they work harmoniously."
"It is a complete product, but the SSL inspection feature requires some improvements. We need to deploy certificates at each end point to completely work out the UTM solutions. If you enable SSL encryption, it is a tedious process. It takes a lot of time to deploy the certificates to all endpoints. Without SSL inspection, UTM features will not work properly. So, we are forced to enable this SSL inspection feature."
"The analysis of the ITS ID by Palo Alto Networks NG Firewalls could be improved."
"People sometimes find it more expensive as compared to other solutions. There are also fewer training opportunities for Palo Alto than Cisco and other vendors."
"The data loss prevention (DLP) capabilities need to be beefed up."
"In my opinion, the training provided is satisfactory, but there is certainly room for improvement. It would be great to have more comprehensive training at a lower cost, or even for free."
