We performed a comparison between Barracuda CloudGen Firewall and Juniper SRX Series Firewall 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 is user-friendly and affordable."
"Our project needs to link two sides through the internet. One of these was in Cairo and the other in another city. We used FortiGate as the integrating solution between the two locations, i.e. the Fortinet 30E & 100E."
"Whenever we raise a complaint with FortiGate, their response and resolution times are minimal."
"I think that the UTM features are the most value, as it truly protects my infrastructure."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the analytics."
"The most valuable features are the possibility of having one fabric for switching on security."
"Good performance, stability, and virtual domain ability."
"FortiGate SD-WAN facilitated a smooth transition for our customers between their two internet service providers, ensuring uninterrupted connectivity without any downtime."
"The most valuable features are SD-WAN, URL filtering, IPS, and virus scanning."
"TINA (Transport Independent Network Architecture) VPN features - Allows automatic VPN configuration with little or no input from the tech. Drag and drop lines between Barracuda units and the VPN is built automatically."
"Live monitoring of what is happening inside and on the interfaces, either ingress or egress."
"If you have multiple offices, all inter-connected via the internet, you want a single management console through which you can manage all you firewalls. In that case Barracuda could be a good option."
"Inbound and outbound traffic analysis, rule creation wizard, and the GUI portal are among the key features."
"Most people are using enterprise applications remotely, and there is no license for SSL VPN, or in other words point-to-site. There is no limit on that. On other devices there is a specific limit and you have to pay per use for SSL VPN."
"Barracuda is very prompt at blocking any new spam which comes out."
"The product is foolproof. It has done everything that we have needed with the amount of email that we receive, and it handles it quite well."
"One of Juniper SRX's most valuable features is the site-to-site VPN."
"Performance is a strong point."
"The virtualization feature is the most valuable feature. Sometimes customers are requesting a private connection using mobile data when they are connecting to remote sites."
"The high availability of the application is good."
"The most valuable feature is robustness."
"The most powerful feature in Juniper SRX is definitely NCLS."
"I like the routing and firewall features."
"The setup is pretty straightforward."
"The logs need to be better. They need to be more visible and easier to access."
"It would be nice if backups could more easily migrate between different models."
"The Wi-Fi controller needs a lot of improvement."
"Technical support for this solution can be improved."
"Fortinet FortiGate is a stable solution. However, my issue is the performance only. When I use all the profiles, this affects the performance. From the beginning, I should have had a better sizing of the box."
"I don't like that anything more than very basic reporting is not included."
"Fortinet Fortigate could benefit by simplifying some of their processes."
"Due to its higher cost, Fortinet FortiGate can lead to increased operational expenses."
"We would like to see a solution that is focused on container deployment, which is very important right now."
"The biggest downside is that it is quite an expensive product."
"The analytics are weak."
"A rule for email announcements, when configured hits occur, would be a great improvement for a more efficient experience."
"It would be better if they had a trace and trap feature. It's hard for me to say anything bad about Barracuda. This is because we had a firewall go down in the town of Kirkland Lake, and it was a blown-out port, and they had an instant replacement."
"It's a little bit complex in terms of handling. If you implement a change, there is a specific point where you have to commit it. It's not like you just push a button and it's always committed. If you don't know to check whether your commit command has been executed or not... that is something Barracuda needs to work on."
"While using Barracuda CloudGen Firewall, we encounter issues with VPN profiles for Windows."
"The price could be better."
"It could be more secure."
"It would be ideal if the solution could use cloud services to help update signatures or threat prevention systems."
"it would be more powerful if Juniper brought out a security product other than the firewall, like anti-spam, endpoint protection, etc. Customers who want to deploy security solutions are not just thinking about firewalls... Juniper should have an end-to-end solution, from the endpoint to the network level."
"The CPU switch could be improved for a better overall performance of traffic flow."
"Improvements can be made to the GUI. The GUI can be improved by creating policies to handle IPS requirements. The configuration should be a one-step process. This would make it easier to complete the setup to register the time of operation."
"In the future, I would like to see the UI more responsive"
"The setup process should be improved."
"To compare with Fortinet, Juniper needs to improve their security features."
