Juniper vSRX Reviews

Our primary use case for the Juniper vSRX solution is protection. We use it for Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) and Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS).

At the moment, we have about 120 vessels running under Juniper vSRX with 20 people per vessel. It's 2400 users. For deployment and maintenance, we have nine people.

We don't use anything extra on the production side. We would like to increase usage. We are going to put an inner portfolio on more than 20,000 vessels. 

We plan to put all of them under the same umbrella with Juniper vSRX.

The features we found most valuable are using the IDS and IPS during protection. For prevention, the application filtering feature is great, fantastic.

Up to the point we have used it now, there is no need for anything extra in the product.

The stability of the solution is very good. It's very stable.

Juniper vSRX is very scalable and easy to use. The difference is that we are always using it. The scalability is the main reason why we got it. 

We evaluated quite a lot of products before we took on this station. It's expensive.

The technical support is very good. They are very fast. They are our partners. It's in their benefit to help us work efficiently. They are earning money on it.

The initial setup is straightforward. Our deployment took three months. We had to put it together with many adjustments for the system to work together.

We used our partner Teresa for the installation of Juniper vSRX.

We evaluated the IDS and IPS without considering application filtering. It is easy to connect Juniper vSRX to the vessels. We have vessels that lead to connectivity.

Our network is very limited. One of the most important details with Juniper vSRX is that we can collect all of the updates in one single place and then push it over to the vessel. 

This was something very important to us in production.

On a scale from 1 to 10, I would rate this product a 10. When you've got a 10, there is nothing to improve. There's nothing to add. The pricing still needs some improvement.

We use Juniper vSRX to provide security for our customers and our users.

The solution as a whole is good, but it requires knowledge to use it properly. We know this solution well; we know all of its configurations and little secrets that inexperienced users may not be aware of. It's a very powerful solution and the firewalls function with high performance. The configuration is also great.

I have been using Juniper vSRX for a couple of years now.

Juniper vSRX is stable.

This solution is scalable, but I think it could be more scalable. It is possible to extend the firewall, but the firewall model could be bigger. 

Juniper supplies us with great customer support. We are very satisfied with them. 

The initial setup was easy.

As a customer, the pricing is good for us.

I would recommend Juniper vSRX. It works well for us. 

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Juniper vSRX a rating of eight. We experienced some technical issues during implementation; if they were corrected, I would give this solution a rating of nine or ten.

It seems that most of the problems were the device from management and not from support.  We would spend a lot of time with support trying to solve the problems we had. We didn't resolve it because it was a problem from the device and management. The technical support did not seem to help.

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.

We currently have about 10,000 users on the solution, but we are moving to the cloud, so I don't think we plan on increasing usage.

We are not satisfied with technical support. We've had a lot of problems with them not being able to solve our issues.

We did the original setup about ten years ago, so I can't recall how straightforward or complex the implementation was.

When we started with vSRX we came over from NetScreen. With vSRX We had a lot of problems and management was very hard to work with. It's not so very user-friendly. Before we had NetScreen 5400 and it was much better.

We're in the process of migrating away from Juniper onto Fortinet.

For us, it was not the correct solution for our data center.

I would rate the solution six out of ten.
