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."We can use our devices to check all of the perimeters. It secures email websites."
"The license management is very valuable. You can get a new license each year, or you can enroll every two to four years. You can get the logs, and you will get the information on the risk in your network and the entire organization. With this information, you can take action on your actives, computers, or devices. You can bring your own device as an SSE."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiGate is load balancing. It can provide central management and VPNA. Additionally, it has enhanced our security environment."
"The solution is very easy to understand. It's not overly complex."
"It is simple to manage, and there are a lot of functionalities in the same box."
"This product is definitely scalable."
"It works very well. It has a lot of different functionalities. Its cost is also fine for our customers."
"The email protection and VPN features are the most valuable."
"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."
"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."
"It provided ease of maintenance. If a new firewall was needed, we only had to run the pipelines for this. So, the maintenance was very easy."
"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."
"I like its order management feature. It doesn't have the kind of threat intelligence that Palo Alto has, but the order management makes it much simpler to know the difference."
"Azure's cost-effectiveness is its major advantage."
"I can easily configure it."
"We use the solution for application and server deployment."
"It is deployed on the customer site, and we manage the firewalls on this side."
"I'm told the solution is the fastest, and, so far, I do find that to be the case."
"We like the solution’s protocol and its dashboard system."
"This solution works well. Their switches and firewall are good."
"It's a very powerful solution and the firewalls offer high performance"
"The technical support services are excellent."
"The features we found most valuable are using the IDS and IPS during protection. The application filtering feature is great."
"The initial setup was very straightforward. There was no problem. The initial deployment took about one hour."
"I use the FortiGate 60D model and realized the 300Mbps bandwidth limitation. Because it is a product that offers many services, I think it could have greater bandwidth capacity."
"From a reporting perspective, there's room for improvement. They're providing FortiAnalyzer through which one can get some enhancements, but the visibility and reporting still need slight improvement."
"The support system could be improved."
"The monitor and the visibility, in this proxy, is very weak."
"When we cluster the two Fortinet FortiGate boxes together we have some issues."
"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."
"It's my understanding that more of the current generation features could be brought in. There could be more integration with EDRs, for example."
"The Wi-Fi controller needs a lot of improvement."
"It is a cloud service, but the lending speed for each region is not always the same. For example, in China, the speed is slow. They need to think about how to make sure that the service pace or speed is always the same in all regions. It would be a great improvement if they can provide the same pace worldwide."
"Currently, it only supports IP addresses, so you have to be specific about the IPs that are in your environment."
"There are a number of things that need to be simplified, but it's mostly costs. It needs to be simplified because it's pretty expensive."
"The interface could be improved, it's not very user friendly."
"Azure Firewall definitely needs a broader feature base. It should be able to go all the way up to layer 7 when looking at applications and things like that."
"We find it's different implementing it region-to-region. It might help if it was universal across all regions."
"The solution lacks artificial intelligence and machine learning. It might be in the roadmap. However, currently, it's not available."
"An Azure firewall is not a real firewall."
"The tool's basic license does not cover everything. It needs to improve visibility and availability."
"The solution's GUI needs improvement."
"The solution could improve its technical support."
"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."
"VPN access is an area that needs improvement."
"In the next release, I would like to see improvements made to the GUI because it isn't very good."
"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."
"Fortinet is more user friendly than Juniper. In terms of remote access, I actually prefer using Fortinet. It's much easier to configure."
