We performed a comparison between Juniper SRX Series Firewall and Palo Alto Networks K2-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."Their interface is very easy to use, it is without bugs."
"Unified Threat Management (UTM) features."
"There are lots of features and most of them are deployed for internet security. Users are protected if they accidentally go to some malicious sites."
"Fortinet FortiGate's ease of management is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiGate is the simple configuration."
"Our security improved from being able to put in rules and close off unwanted traffic."
"Fortinet FortiGate is scalable for our users. Right now, we have almost 70 users. We do not have any plan to increase our usage of FortiGate. For maintaining the firewall solution, one staff member is enough."
"Good performance, stability, and virtual domain ability."
"The solution is relatively easy and inexpensive to maintain."
"I like the routing and firewall features."
"Juniper SRX is a very powerful firewall and sometimes can be used as a router."
"Great as an inter-segmentation firewall or border or arch-firewall."
"The Juniper SRX series is easy to use."
"Juniper SRX Series Firewall is a stable solution."
"The most valuable feature is robustness."
"One of Juniper SRX's most valuable features is the site-to-site VPN."
"Palo Alto's App-ID is what differentiates it from other competitors."
"The most valuable features are the virtualization of the firewall and the antivirus."
"Palo Alto has an approach that makes the configuration easier not only for the customers but also for the IT help for the customers."
"This firewall is very good for our customers because they don't have to write their own rules for adding an application."
"We've found the solution offers us good stability."
"Palo Alto has better and finer controls than, say, Cisco or Check Point."
"Overall, this is a very simple and very effective firewall, and I am satisfied with it."
"The most valuable features are the intuitive user interface, ease of use, and reporting."
"Fortinet FortiGate should improve the VPN tokens."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve by adding FortiAnalyzer to its solution, we should not have to use another solution. FortiAnalyzer can provide more detailed information."
"The command line is complicated, and the interface could be better."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve if it had a cloud-managed solution."
"Some features of Fortinet FortiGate are actually fee enabled that are inconvenient for deploying in production. Other issues relate to isolation with Cisco products and your server."
"It needs to improve its ISP load balancing."
"With FortiGate, the main complaint that I have heard is about the technical support."
"It could use better throughput on some of the smaller boxes for the branch offices."
"To compare with Fortinet, Juniper needs to improve their security features."
"It could improve areas which need high performance."
"I would like to see endpoint control and endpoint testing security."
"Their models for service providers could improve."
"It would be ideal if the solution could use cloud services to help update signatures or threat prevention systems."
"As a networking person, I don't really have any major issues with this device. Based on my experience of using it in a cluster, it could be more stable. I had an incident when one of the SRXs in a cluster couldn't learn ARP. It is a good solution, but firewalls don't seem to be an area of development for Juniper. They are focusing on data centers, routers, and switches, not firewalls."
"The GUI needs improvement."
"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."
"We had some issues with upgrading in the past. They could make the process easier."
"The product should get frequent updates allowing us to add new signatures."
"I'd like to see more data protection on the system."
"When it comes to renewing the solution, they tend to try to jack up the pricing."
"Higher levels of support are excellent but new users may need additional options."
"The URL Filtering module needs to have more categories added to it."
"The reporting functionality in GlobalProtect needs to be improved."
"Palo Alto has many other products. It would be nice for these products to be centralized under one tool"
