We performed a comparison between Juniper SRX Series Firewall and Palo Alto Networks K2-Series 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 protects against internet-based threats, both internal and external. It is scalable, stable, easy to use, and easy to install."
"Fortinet FortiGate appears to be scalable."
"The web filtering feature and the intrusion protection system are the most valuable. It is a resilient appliance. I never had an issue with it in terms of any security breaches."
"The solution is scalable."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiGate are remote access, web filtering, and IPS."
"Easy to implement, and it is also reliable."
"The stability and scalability of this solution are satisfactory. Its SD-WAN, VPN, and URL filtering features are very useful."
"Advanced routing (RIP, OSPF, BGP, PBR). It gives you a seamless and simple integration into a large network."
"If we need to define our user system from an anti-spam perspective, we can constantly update the antivirus."
"The Juniper SRX series is easy to use."
"Juniper SRX Series Firewall is a stable solution."
"The setup is pretty straightforward."
"Technical support is good. They quickly respond, and they even have local help here. They can actually give you an answer very quickly."
"I like that Juniper SRX is easy to use, scalable, and stable with good performance."
"I've found the security features, such as IDS and the VPN most valuable."
"It's easily scalable."
"Palo Alto has better and finer controls than, say, Cisco or Check Point."
"Palo Alto firewalls are scalable enough. We have about 110 employees in our company, and we are about to expand to 130."
"I have found the threat profile feature valuable."
"Palo Alto's App-ID is what differentiates it from other competitors."
"This firewall is very good for our customers because they don't have to write their own rules for adding an application."
"I like the tool's WildFire feature."
"Palo Alto has an approach that makes the configuration easier not only for the customers but also for the IT help for the customers."
"The solution is reliable and scales well."
"The solution can have more features in a single box that can be multi-applied to integrate everything."
"In the balance between links feature normally you can just choose one option to balance. It would be better for the solution to have more than one option, preferably three."
"The pricing could be a bit better, especially when you consider how they have the most basic offering priced."
"To the best of my knowledge, Fortinet does not have a CASB solution and Fortinet does not have a Zero trust solution."
"The support from Fortinet FortiGate could improve. They are not easily accessible when we need them. They could improve their response time."
"I would like some automated custom reporting."
"Palo Alto has a feature called WildFire Analysis that is unavailable in FortiGate. WildFire is better than a sandbox because it can address zero-day threats and vulnerabilities. It can immediately identify zero-day threats from the cloud."
"The price of FortiGate should be reduced because there are some other leading products that are cheaper."
"The user interface is something that Juniper needs to improve."
"The solution is quite advanced. You need a lot of training to use it effectively."
"It would be good if Junos had "unique commands" between all hierarchical levels, discarding the use of the "Run" command."
"The setup process should be improved."
"I think Juniper SRX should have a GUI. Some of the competitors are already implementing GUI for the firewall."
"The pricing strategy of the vendor could improve."
"Juniper SRX is stable, but it could improve. FortiGate has better stability than Juniper SRX."
"It's a good stable firewall, but it's nowhere near what it needs to be for a next-generation type firewall."
"If we have issues, they take anywhere from two days to a week to respond. I even wrote to their CEO because there was no response. When it comes to support, this is the worst company."
"I would like to see the threat intelligence capability integrated with other vendors such as Cisco and Forcepoint."
"The solution needs a series of OS changes."
"In the past, we've had trouble with Palo Alto's application filtering not getting it right. I would not be recommending layer 7 application filtering yet."
"They should implement the features that the other firewalls have."
"Palo Alto doesn't have extended visibility to the end point in their firewalls."
"The password function of the solution could be improved. Additionally, some of the processes take too long to complete."
"Palo Alto has many other products. It would be nice for these products to be centralized under one tool"
