We performed a comparison between Juniper SRX Series 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."Their interface is very easy to use, it is without bugs."
"It is useful for protecting and segregating the internal networks from the internet. Most of our customers also use the FortiGate client to connect to their offices by using the VPN client, and of course, they usually activate the antivirus, deep inspection, and intrusion prevention services. They are also using it for web filtering and implementing various policies dealing with forwardings, NAT, etc."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of configuration."
"The threat prevention is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"The security fabric is excellent."
"FortiGate improved our security. It's one of the best hardware firewalls."
"Overall, the pricing of the solution is very good. The product offers good value."
"Allows for firewall rules to be programmed and named in a way that makes it “readable”"
"The most valuable feature of Juniper SRX is that it is plug-and-play. Additionally, it has a lot of capabilities in one device."
"It is very fast and very easy to maintain. Another nice part of it is that you can easily extract the logs and move them over to a security operations center."
"The setup is pretty straightforward."
"We use it as a firewall at our head office and branches."
"The security features and the model collection are the most valuable."
"It uses many applications, like antivirus blocking and web filtering."
"Juniper is a highly flexible platform, and you get more bang for your buck compared to a Cisco product."
"Technical support is good. They quickly respond, and they even have local help here. They can actually give you an answer very quickly."
"The product’s quality and performance are better than other vendors."
"The architecture of the OS in Juniper is very good. It's flexibility, scalability, and the technicality is also good."
"The technical support services are excellent."
"The hardware is stable."
"The dashboard, customization, API, and pricing are good."
"It is easy for me to go in and update settings, make changes, or add/remove rules or security."
"We like the solution’s protocol and its dashboard system."
"The technical support has been good."
"The support system could be improved."
"The support structure needs to be improved because every time we contact them, there is a delay in the response."
"The feature which gives us a lot of pain is ASIC architecture."
"The firmware needs improvement because there are bugs when a new release comes through. Sometimes, the configuration changes, and it's a bit harder to see where the fail is. The first time that you have the firmware, it tends to have some issues, and it's better to wait a bit to update the equipment."
"Cisco Meraki products are rising very quickly in the cloud and the connected era. Meraki products offer much better ROI, upgradability, and manageability."
"There is a lot of improvement needed with SSL-VPN."
"The solution could be more secure and stable."
"Compared to some other products, the DLP is not at par for the moment."
"Both the web management and the graphical user interface are inadequate and should be improved."
"The big thing is performance. With all the features turned on it slows down."
"The range of devices should be expanded to include those suitable for a small implementation. Juniper does not have any lower-priced SRX models, useful perhaps for a single ATM or a single bank branch."
"The pricing strategy of the vendor could improve."
"In the next release, I would like to have a better web interface. It needs to be more user-friendly. Right now, you can only access many features through the console."
"The reporting is lacking."
"It should be easier to escalate support tickets."
"The technical support has room for improvement."
"They could provide support for cloud deployments."
"We have some weird errors and some weird behavior on the solution occasionally. The device gets buggy without anyone touching it. It would work and then suddenly stop. Sometimes you need to just move the cards out and restart it again, and it will work. The solution itself, the hardware and the software, there must be some bugs that need to be dealt with."
"It could use more tutorials."
"We experienced some technical issues during implementation"
"The solution should consider improving its licensing policies."
"In the next release, I would like to see improvements made to the GUI because it isn't very good."
"The solution can be improved by allowing automatic updates for the OS devices."
"Some people complain that the solution tends to have a steep learning curve. It could be because most people have basic familiarity with Cisco or other similar products and maybe have never worked closely with Juniper products."
