We performed a comparison between Azure 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."It enables our organization to become more productive. Also, it protects our NEtWare from viruses and malware."
"The features that I have found most valuable are the SD-WAN and their IP4 policy."
"The feature I like most is the SD-WAN. It allows you to manage more than one ISP at the same time. And there is a high-availability mode, so if one of your ISPs is down, you still have a backup."
"Security solution with a straightforward and quick setup. It's a stable and scalable product."
"The secure web gateway module and the application control module are valuable. HA operations are very easy."
"All of the features of Fortinet FortiGate are useful and the security protection is good."
"It's very fast and easy to configure."
"We have been able to offer several services to customers in a single box."
"I think that one of the best features is definitely the premium version, along with the IDPs in terms of the intrusion detection and prevention system."
"Microsoft's technical support is very good. They're quite knowledgable and responsive."
"The most valuable feature is threat intelligence. It is based on filtering and can identify multiple threats."
"Performance and stability are the key features of this product."
"I can easily configure it."
"One of the best features is that it natively integrates with Azure Services and tools. When you have a third-party offering, that is not the case. But Azure Firewall provides a comprehensive and seamless security solution for your Azure resources."
"One of the notable advantages of Azure Firewall is its user-friendly interface, which closely resembles or shares similarities with other Azure components."
"The Layer four features are okay and meet my business needs."
"We like the solution’s protocol and its dashboard system."
"This solution works well. Their switches and firewall are good."
"Juniper is more flexible with the commit check and the commit confirmed command. The design of the forwarding and contract plan in the operating system is very important for the performance when we have very big traffic."
"The tool's most valuable features are routing features and service quality."
"It is easy for me to go in and update settings, make changes, or add/remove rules or security."
"The dashboard, customization, API, and pricing are good."
"It's much faster to deploy a power source. If you need to deploy a firewall in the cloud of software, it's much easier and much faster than deploying the office firewall in a rush."
"There are a few valuable features that offer very good quality on the solution. Especially NetScreen. We used to use NetScreen for the the product line. It was a very mature solution, very robust, easy to configure, easy to manage, etc. It made it easy to do everything."
"There are some cloud-based features that could be much more flexible than they currently are."
"The main aspect of FortiGate that could be improved is load balancing. Our management team does not want to buy another appliance for only load balancing."
"We'd like more management across other integrations."
"The price of FortiGate should be reduced because there are some other leading products that are cheaper."
"FortiOS is not simple."
"I would like to see better pricing in the next release, as well as a simplification of the installation."
"It is stable, but its stability can be improved."
"Stability and technical support are the two major issues I have found with Fortinet."
"It has fewer features than you can get from other firewalls, like anti-spam and anti-phishing. Those kinds of things are not included. It only includes IDS and IDB."
"There should be better monitoring and logging. Currently, it is put in Sentinel. It should be more seamless and from the interface."
"Currently, it only supports IP addresses, so you have to be specific about the IPs that are in your environment."
"The threat intelligence part could be better. I don't see why our customers have to get an additional solution with Azure Firewall. It would be great if they made it on par with Palo Alto."
"The solution should incorporate features similar to competitors like split tunneling."
"You have to have a defined IP range within your network to associate it with your network. The problem is you have to plan ahead of time if you expect to use the firewall in the future so that you don't have to reconfigure your subnets or that specific IP range. Other than that, I don't any issues. I use it for basic configuration for a single application, so I really don't try to leverage it for multiple applications where I might find some complexity or challenges."
"It's a little heavy compared to a FortiGate or other firewalls."
"The development area and QA area could be improved. With those improvements, we can improve projects and take even less time to implement them."
"The GUI really needs a lot of work, and it has got worse with successive version updates."
"We experienced some technical issues during implementation"
"The pricing still needs some improvement."
"There are too many types of licenses, which can be confusing."
"Some people complain that the solution tends to have a steep learning curve. It could be because most people have basic familiarity with Cisco or other similar products and maybe have never worked closely with Juniper products."
"The solution could improve its technical support."
"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."
"In the next release, I would like to see improvements made to the GUI because it isn't very good."
