We performed a comparison between Juniper SRX Series Firewall and Juniper vSRX 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."Fortinet FortiGate's ease of management is the most valuable feature."
"It's an easy solution to set up."
"The integration with Active Directory is one of the good features. Most of the customers are now looking for the Single Sign-on feature. So, being able to integrate Active Directory with the firewall is useful. It is also easy."
"Fortinet FortiGate is a stable solution."
"Fortinet FortiGate is a security device. It can optimize security on the networks of a company. It actually protects the company from attacks from outside. With FortiGate, you can categorize the users. You can create a group of users that can access all of the websites for their work. You can limit other users' access."
"The performance is good."
"Easy to use support and licensing portal as well as activation process."
"Fortinet has a very good solution for Secure SD-WAN. One very good feature is that they have robust and simple FortiOS through which they provide all solutions. That's their strength. There's not much complexity involved with the Secure SD-WAN solution of Fortinet as compared to Cisco's solution, which has a lot of flexibility but complexity also comes with that flexibility."
"The rollback option and Commit Confirmed are great features. They give us the security to change configurations without downtime."
"The virtualization feature is the most valuable feature. Sometimes customers are requesting a private connection using mobile data when they are connecting to remote sites."
"It is a complete security bundle. The cloud-based Sky Advanced Threat Prevention feature is very valuable. I am 100% satisfied with the performance of the Juniper firewall. It has a very good throughput. It works very fine. We use our firewall as a site-to-site VPN or Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN). In both cases, it has a very good and optimum performance. Their service support is very good in India. I get really good support from the Juniper team."
"One of Juniper SRX's most valuable features is the site-to-site VPN."
"The CLI works perfectly."
"The IPSec configuration is going well."
"Performance is a strong point."
"The deployment is quite easy and fast."
"It is easy for me to go in and update settings, make changes, or add/remove rules or security."
"The technical support has been good."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The most valuable features are application filtering, content filtering, the intrusion prevention system (IPS), and definitely the application firewall."
"The technical support services are excellent."
"The dashboard, customization, API, and pricing are good."
"The authentication part is seamless and easy for people."
"One of Juniper vSRX's most valuable features is its integration with safety applications. It keeps the software secure from developers without relying on third-party solutions."
"The license renewal process, annual renewal price, and the web application firewall features should be improved."
"We were not able to build a full-mesh VPN; however, I am not sure if this was the fault of Fortinet FortiGate."
"Some of the web policy reports could be improved."
"The search tool needs improvement. It's very difficult to search for policies right now."
"With the addition of some features, it is possible that FortiGate can be used in all verticals."
"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."
"Web security solutions can be improved."
"We would like to see a better training platform implemented."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"There is room for improvement in scalability and performance. It's scalable and reliable, but when using next-generation firewall features, the performance decreases significantly for Juniper SRX."
"The CPU switch could be improved for a better overall performance of traffic flow."
"We purchased three devices and all three have been replaced under RMA."
"There are a lot of features that customers do not know about and I think that better documentation would help when it comes to learning how to use the product."
"This solution needs to update for "Next Generation" needs."
"It needs better interoperability with Cisco gear."
"It would be good if Junos had "unique commands" between all hierarchical levels, discarding the use of the "Run" command."
"The security feature must be improved."
"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."
"The GUI really needs a lot of work, and it has got worse with successive version updates."
"The solution could improve its technical support."
"The biggest downside of Juniper vSRX is its pricing, which may be too high for smaller organizations. While it's a decent solution, the cost may limit its accessibility to smaller customers."
"The pricing still needs some improvement."
"The reporting can be improved."
"They really need to improve the GUI."
