We performed a comparison between Huawei NGFW 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."The virtual firewall feature is the most valuable. We have around 1,500 firewalls. We did not buy individual hardware, and the virtual firewalls made sense because we don't have to keep on buying the hardware. FortiGate is easier to use as compared to Checkpoint devices. It is user friendly and has a good UI. You don't need much expertise to work on this firewall. You don't need to worry much about DCLA, commands, and things like that."
"The performance is good."
"It's user-friendly and easy to operate."
"Reliability is the best feature. We faced some issues when we were setting it up, but the service, portal, and administration are good."
"The application control features, such as Facebook blocking and Spotify blocking, are the most valuable."
"I like several features that this product has, such as antivirus and internet navigation inspection. It is also simple to use."
"Overall, the pricing of the solution is very good. The product offers good value."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
"We have found the initial setup to be straightforward."
"It enables us to configure different policies and restrictions for specific users within the same subnet."
"The user interface is very, very good."
"The mapping features and traffic logging are good."
"The support for the solution has been excellent. If we ever had an issue they would send an engineer to help us with our problem."
"Huawei support is excellent. I rate it 10 out of 10."
"The UI is quite good."
"I had no difficulty using the Huawei NGFW."
"The Juniper SRX series is easy to use."
"It's fine, and it's good. It's very stable."
"The rollback option and Commit Confirmed are great features. They give us the security to change configurations without downtime."
"The high availability of the application is good."
"We use it as a firewall at our head office and branches."
"The solution's stability is very good."
"Performance is a strong point."
"It integrates well with Fortinet and Palo Alto."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve the user interface. There should be more functionality and options through the GUI."
"They can do more tests before they release new versions because I would like to be more assured. We had some experiences where they release something new and great, but some of the old features are disabled or they don't work well, which impacts the product satisfaction. The manufacturer should be able to prove that everything works or not only that it might work. This is applicable to most of the other services, software, and hardware companies. They all should work on this. We cannot trust every new release, such as a beta release, on the first day. We wait for some comments on the forums and from other companies that we know. We always wait a few weeks before we use the updated version. They should also extend the VPN client application, especially for Linux versions. Currently, it has an application for Linux devices, but it doesn't work the way we want to connect to the VPN. They use only the old connection, not the new one. They have VPN client applications for Windows and Mac, but they can add more useful features to better manage the devices and monitor the current health of each device. Such features would be helpful for our company."
"The cloud features and integration could be improved."
"I would like to see improvements in the product's application rules."
"The updates Fortinet provides are sometimes unstable."
"FortiOS is not simple."
"There were quite a few problems with the stability of the system."
"I need user-behavior analytics, to find threat scenarios from inside the organization, insider attacks. That would be very helpful for us. In addition, I would like next-generation features for small and medium businesses. These businesses require UTM, all in one product. Fortinet must include it."
"The solution could be cheaper."
"The WAF capability in the Huawei Firewall is missing."
"Wi-Fi scanning and Wi-Fi analysis would be useful features to include in the future."
"The solution could be more secure and have better integration."
"There needs to be more security equipment for the solution."
"The solution isn't cheap. It's market price."
"The solution is scalable but it is difficult because you need to purchase new systems, it is not just one click."
"I would like to see an antivirus solution included with the product."
"The CPU switch could be improved for a better overall performance of traffic flow."
"The capacity can be limiting. We have outgrown its capacity. You can only scale up to a certain extent, depending on the device purchased."
"It was very difficult to deal with and required a lot of support, and the UI is very poor."
"I think improvement can be done to the security part, particularly the UDM, and the product should have a user-friendly interface similar to FortiGate. It should have the Azure RBAC in the next release."
"Juniper needs to focus more on their perimeter firewalls."
"The training videos that are available need to be improved, and made more educative."
"Its logging is very good, but we would like to have an easier way of creating more reports. We would like to be able to manipulate the reports or manage the way the reports are coming out."
"In terms of other features, I'd like to see a web filter, 10 point control, application control and a DNA filter in the next release."
