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 stability of the solution is excellent, as it is with other Fortinet products."
"We are a visual effects company, and there have been a number of high profile security issues in our industry. This has brought us to a higher standard of security, which our clients are very keen on these days."
"We were looking for the VPN feature and controlling the inflow and outflow of all the traffic within the site and across the sites. We are also using it for the VPN and VLANs."
"It is easy to manage, and it doesn't need much knowledge from the team. It is a stable device, and there are many features that are included out of the box."
"It does a lot for you for intrusion protection and as an antivirus. The threat management bundle is worth the money. You don't need another company to monitor your web traffic for you. You can do everything yourself on the firewall. You restrict your own black list for people on the firewall. You don't need to pay some other company for another product to do that for you. The firewall can do that for you. So, it's an easy-to-use product for people to be independent. They don't need to rely on other vendors to do what the firewall can do. They can do everything."
"It has improved our organization with control data."
"We purchased Fortinet because of the pricing, its functionality, because it met our requirements, and the total cost of ownership over five years was quite reasonable. In the market, Fortinet is rated quite well."
"The usage in general is pretty good."
"The solution's performance is good with IPSec."
"The setup is quite easy."
"It enables us to configure different policies and restrictions for specific users within the same subnet."
"We make use of the new data center, specifically the containerized data center which is built and reviewed by Huawei, including all the device's infrastructure."
"The user interface is very, very good."
"I like that the initial setup is straighforward. It's also a scalable solution."
"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."
"Juniper is one of the most powerful network security solutions while remaining simple to use, set up, and scale."
"The features that I have found valuable are the ones for the main purpose we are using Juniper - its firewall to protect our network for our internet access."
"User-friendly solution with security bundle and USB blocking features"
"vSRX is easy to deploy to any virtual infrastructure, such as OpenStack, VMware, and even Docker (cSRX)."
"The command line in Juniper SRX is extremely powerful, in my opinion. It's one of the best command lines I've used in networking products."
"From a protection perspective, it provides a network perimeter security function for our company."
"If we need to define our user system from an anti-spam perspective, we can constantly update the antivirus."
"The user interface is good."
"It would be ideal if they had some sort of GUI interface for troubleshooting and diagnostics."
"This product could be improved with Active directory integration and better handling in IPsec and GRE Tunnels."
"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."
"The reports are very basic."
"The process of configuring firewall rules appears excessively complex."
"The support is the main thing that needs to be improved."
"It would be nice if FortiGate incorporated some built-in endpoint protection features. I would also like a built-in SOC dashboard for managing multiple Fortinet firewalls."
"They need faster serviceability and more security features."
"The documentation needs to be improved. When they retire old models, they also retire the documentation. However, if you are still using an older model, you still need access to that documentation. And yet, they go ahead and removed it. It's gone. You are therefore stuck with a device with no documentation and technical support that isn't very helpful as they also remove support assistance as well."
"The WAF capability in the Huawei Firewall is missing."
"One issue is integration. Huawei can't detect Indicators of Compromise (IoC). I can get a lot of information about security, but can't automatically input the EP, domain URL, and file hashes I get from Hackersworld into my blocklist."
"I would like to see an antivirus solution included with the product."
"The tool does not have web functionality. It needs to also have high end firewalls."
"The solution isn't cheap. It's market price."
"There needs to be more security equipment for the solution."
"The solution does not have sandboxing features."
"It was very difficult to deal with and required a lot of support, and the UI is very poor."
"Juniper SRX could improve by adding an IPX feature."
"It needs better interoperability with Cisco gear."
"IPS is one that I would definitely want to be improved. I would also like SSL VPN to be integrated."
"I would like to have a better web UI for administration. Juniper could simplify the web UI and make it more compatible with mobile devices."
"I've noticed that the management interface could use some updates and upgrades."
"To compare with Fortinet, Juniper needs to improve their security features."
"I would like to see endpoint control and endpoint testing security."
