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."This solution has solid UTM features combined with a nice GUI."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiGate are the ease of use and there are several operating systems that can include the hardware capacities. In the newer releases, the resources were more useful because they were included in the operating system."
"It has very easy management and an amazing ETM configuration."
"FortiGate has a strong security topic which allows all of the Fortinet devices to communicate and share information which makes their security more powerful."
"Easy to use support and licensing portal as well as activation process."
"Its performance in fulfilling our requirements has been satisfactory."
"This solution has helped our organization by having strong functions and a reliable firewall."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiGate is URL filtering."
"Great security and connectivity."
"Azure Firewall is a cloud-native solution that removes the pain of load balancers."
"The solution is very stable. When comparing it to other environments, it's actually quite impressive."
"Azure Firewall's feature that I have found most valuable is its scalability."
"The firewall policy control, URL content control, and antivirus are all the most valuable aspects. Threat prevention is as well quite good."
"The most valuable feature is threat intelligence. It is based on filtering and can identify multiple threats."
"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."
"The initial setup is straightforward; Azure Firewall does not have a complex implementation process. It is very simple; you just need to enable the service within Azure. It does not require any maintenance because it is managed by Microsoft, that is, it is a fully managed service."
"The tool's most valuable features are routing features and service quality."
"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."
"It is easy for me to go in and update settings, make changes, or add/remove rules or security."
"The command feature is valuable."
"It's a very powerful solution and the firewalls offer high performance"
"The dashboard, customization, API, and pricing are good."
"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."
"Vulnerability scanning could be improved."
"They should offer special pricing to premium partners and customers."
"The pricing could be reduced or include the first year warranty."
"Cisco Meraki products are rising very quickly in the cloud and the connected era. Meraki products offer much better ROI, upgradability, and manageability."
"The solution lacks sufficient filtering."
"One area for improvement is the performance on bandwidth demands for smaller devices, as well as better web filtering."
"There could be more integration between the logging and analytical platforms to make it more seamless and integrated."
"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."
"The solution doesn't offer the same capabilities of Fortinet. It should offer intrusion prevention and advance filtering. These are two very useful features offered on Fortinet that Azure lacks."
"It would be much easier if the on-premises, firewall rules, had some kind of export-import possibility in place, which is not the case right now."
"Azure should be able to work better as a balancer also, instead of just being a firewall. It should have a wider mandate."
"Right now, with Azure Firewall, we cannot have a normal inbound traffic flow. For inbound, Microsoft suggests using application gateways, so the options are very limited. I cannot use this firewall as an intermediate firewall because of the limitations, and I cannot point routing to another firewall. So if I want to use back-to-back firewall architecture in my environment, I cannot use Azure Firewall for that type of configuration either."
"There should be better monitoring and logging. Currently, it is put in Sentinel. It should be more seamless and from the interface."
"The interface could be improved, it's not very user friendly."
"It needs a lot of improvement, especially on intruder detection. They are working hard on that."
"The tool needs to improve the onboarding and transition process for on-prem users."
"There are too many types of licenses, which can be confusing."
"We have some weird errors and some weird behavior on the solution occasionally. The device gets buggy without anyone touching it. It would work and then suddenly stop. Sometimes you need to just move the cards out and restart it again, and it will work. The solution itself, the hardware and the software, there must be some bugs that need to be dealt with."
"It is pretty complex to manage and could be easier."
"he stability could be improved."
"The tool's basic license does not cover everything. It needs to improve visibility and availability."
"The user interface could always be better. They could make it simpler and more intuitive."
"The solution should consider improving its licensing policies."
"I would like to see an activity sensor for malicious content or sensor for viruses and malware."
