We performed a comparison between Juniper vSRX and Palo Alto Networks VM-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."It's a firewall that secures our internal network. I have been using it since 2013, and I find that most of the features are advanced, and very user friendly."
"The product offers very good security."
"The SD-WAN is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature is the web filter."
"The ease of setting the solution up is a valuable aspect for us."
"It works very well. It has a lot of different functionalities. Its cost is also fine for our customers."
"The technical support is great."
"The scalability is good in Fortinet FortiGate."
"The technical support has been good."
"It is deployed on the customer site, and we manage the firewalls on this side."
"The solution has good features."
"The command feature is valuable."
"It's a very powerful solution and the firewalls offer high performance"
"This solution works well. Their switches and firewall are good."
"The most valuable features are application filtering, content filtering, the intrusion prevention system (IPS), and definitely the application firewall."
"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."
"Centralized management is valuable because it allows us to configure settings in one location and apply them across all three locations."
"A solid operating system with all the necessary data center security features."
"It provides complete security posture from end-to-end. This has given us better visibility into what our security aspects are."
"It scales linearly with load and no issues."
"Embedding it into my application development lifecycle prevents data loss and business disruption, allowing the adoption to operate at the speed of my AWS Cloud."
"The most valuable features are security and support."
"We can monitor the traffic manually and detect threats. Additionally, we can block different IP addresses and URLs."
"In terms of security breaches, the product aids in categorizing and monitoring traffic, allowing for the identification of potentially malicisous or incorrectly formatted applications."
"The command line is complicated, and the interface could be better."
"Fortinet FortiGate is a firewall solution and once it's deployed, you can rest assured that your system is secure."
"I don't really have anything negative to say as far as Fortinet firewalls are concerned. If anything, they can support a user a little bit better. They can stop being so time-sensitive about how much time the support call has taken, and they can help you do it yourself."
"Usually, we sell the bundle with the UTM or threat management piece with IPS, IDS. Other providers, such as Palo Alto, are ahead in terms of safe functionality. So, for me, delivering truly safe service is probably something that still needs to be improved."
"Fortinet FortiGate can be integrated with different platforms. They have integrations in place, but I can't say they're 100%."
"Improvement is needed in the Web Filter quotas to restrict users with allocated quotas."
"Fortinet FortiGate needs to improve the logging and reporting. Additionally, the next-generation application's policies should be improved. When they were released they had bugs."
"We were not able to build a full-mesh VPN; however, I am not sure if this was the fault of Fortinet FortiGate."
"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 solution's GUI needs improvement."
"They could provide support for cloud deployments."
"The GUI really needs a lot of work, and it has got worse with successive version updates."
"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."
"Right now, we are going through issues and problems where the product gets dropped with the connection or during the authentication initial phase. While it could be our problem, we would like to see more stability in this area."
"The security feature must be improved."
"It is pretty complex to manage and could be easier."
"The solution's licensing could be improved, and training should be included before installation."
"The product's AIOps process needs improvement."
"We have run into some issues with scaling and limitations associated with some of the configurations."
"They made only a halfhearted attempt to put in DLP (Data Loss Prevention)."
"The only minor issue we've faced is with the app's ID configuration, which requires specific matching for application filtering."
"I would like to see a more thorough QA process. We have had some difficulties from bugs in releases."
"Palo Alto Networks VM-Series is a complex product to work with."
"In the next release, I would like to see better integration of multi-factor authentication vendors."
